The author has rightly pointed out that abject poverty , racial discrimination and ideological bigotry , to name a few , are some of the key reasons for a person to turn into a suicide bomber . However , his argument is mired in a serious logical flaw . Why don’t other people , for example Dalit Hindus placed in the similar conditions , don’t end up as suicide bombers ? Why the suicide bombers emanate from the Muslim class or , for that matter , rise from radical groups like LTTE ? According to reports , specially trained suicide bombers in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have been sent to Iraq to give a fitting reply to to the American trooops . Needless to state , these jehadi operatives , who are guided by percepts imbibed in the Madarassas are carrying out the task of Allah -elimination of the Kafirs to save Islam from extinction . Such dangerous brainwashing is the root cause of high number of suicide bombers in the Muslim commnunity . It’s necessary to wipe out the ” illusory fears ” , which are being perceived as threat to the extension of Islam besides sabotaging the attempts of the bombers to highlight their political message via lethal attacks . An ‘ all-inclusive ‘ society would definitely lead to better days .
