Suicide Bomber Justification
Suicide bombing is one of the most popular terrorist tactics used today. While most of the world sees this tactic as barbaric and cannot understand why anyone would agree to using this tactic, there is a school of thought that justifies its use.
Riaz Hassan is an Australian Research Council Professorial Fellow and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Sociology, Flinders University.
In January 2010, he wrote a piece titled Life as a Weapon: Making Sense of Suicide Bombings.
In a well-written paper:
a. Write an essay outlining the justifications for suicide bombing as discussed by Mr. Hassan. In addition find an example of an actual suicide terrorism incident, describe the circumstances and compare and contrast those circumstances with M. Hassan's piece.
b. Make sure your discussion reflects themes in Chapters 5 through 6 of our textbook.
