So did people calling themselves Christians.

All religions have extremists. It isn't an indictment of the religion, but of the people preaching the hate.

 

[protonion]

What's "funny" is that actual suicide bombings rarely have that many victims.

 

[Antagon]

In what world would "suicide bomber" not fall into the "evil" category?

In a world where the suicide bomber is a small child, pressured into doing it by adults? A kid that doesn't understand what he/she's doing? To me, such a kid is just as much a victim as the people that are killed in the blast.

And of course, who is to say that the kids that saw this were all to actually strap on suicide vests? Who knows, maybe it's something that all the kids in the village actually have to watch, but only very few, if any actually will do?

So they all passed?

You got me lol

 

[dejay]

Whilst I don't often see the death of 22 people as something positive, I find it hard to feel anything other than mirth and some satisfaction at this turn of events.

Dudes need some better OH&S practices in place.

So they all passed?

Not often I literally (as in OG literally) LOLed.

With a teacher like that they were just wasting their potential anyway.

22 potential future murderers according to an american newspaper supporting the american intervention in a country not related to the terrorist attack trauma are dead.

re-fixed

 

[farisr]

Oh please. They are doing it in the name of religion regardless if they have perverted the message or not

Not exclusive to religion, happens for countries and even political parties. Doesn't mean that those countries or political parties or religions are preaching suicide attacks.

22 aspiring, potential future murderers are dead.

There are many ways you could say it, I suppose.

 

[Biker19]

Pretty tasteless comments in this thread. Smh.

They were being trained to kill innocent people, not to protect them from a certain war or anything of the sort.

Give that man a hand (grenade)

iirc her brother put a bomb vest on her and sent her to blow up a checkpoint. These people were training to become suicide bombers

and if I am saying that young people participate in suicide bombing, you'd say..? Because thats what Im saying. And that is all im saying.

What is the desired response to your post?

I don't think anyone was denying that happens.

And what are people, who geo-locate SIM cards of so called terror suspects and send in drone strikes to that location.

Before answering, please actually think about it for one second.

well, we don't really know how old these guys were. I'm certainly aware that kids are being trained to become suicide bombers

I said in my post, its for whomever doesn't know that children sometimes play a part in suicide bombing.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I don't know what the "right" response is to the death of a couple of dozen suicide bombers, by their own hand. One the one hand, I generally don't enjoy laughing when a human being, with a mother and father, who had hopes and dreams, dies. One the other hand, they had chosen to strap explosives to their bodies and attempt to murder as many human beings as possible.

I think there's room for both sadness and humor in this thread. So let people say what they want, and disagree with them if you need to, but treat each other with dignity and respect. Someone who experiences a different emotion than you at this event isn't evil or stupid or even wrong. They're different.

Respect it or I'll paint the thread gray.

Clearly there are no hands left in this scenario

Spoiler

I just could not resist.

I feel for the families of the bombers, as any decent human being would, but there is zero sympathy here. If you want to blow yourself up against innocents that doesn't fly with me, just as drone bombings of innocents doesn't fly with me either. Collateral damage something something...it all sucks.

Instructor last words:

I have no sympathy for (un-coerced) suicide bombers who died and there's no way I can be guilted into doing so. They got what was coming to them and I'd even say I'm glad that they died before they hurt innocent people. Yeah it's awful they got there in the first place but once you get brainwashed like that it's too late.

You're right, maybe they wouldn't have. We really can't know.

By the way, I see the narrative is gradually changing to say that all of these "students" were brainwashed/coerced children. Was there any confirmation of this?

NYTimes article mentioned several times they were militants from ISIS attending the suicide bombing class.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

You do know that most extremists that kill themselves with explosives don't just wake up one day and say "boy, I'm gonna be a suicide bomber!" A lot of them are also troubled young people who really don't see any other way out.

We don't really know all the details but it is a shame that these people were in this class to begin with.

So the way out is to kill others for high in the sky promises?

 

[Batigol]

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Good riddance. Those kids in the class were as good as good as dead anyway being brainwashed into committing atrocities. It's better they died as victims than false martyr's, consider it mercy killing.
Unfortunate they had to be in that situation in the first place but at least they did not die as killers themselves.

 

[phosphor112]

Doesn't happen enough. Fucking wahabi scum.

 

[commedieu]

dont see that being proclaimed, but it is an explanation of how some people feel about the subject. I agree with the post. There isn't a black or white side to the Afghanistan war/fallout/repercussions. It doesn't have to be like that in this thread.

 

[Arozay]

Guys keep it tasteful, they might be reading.

 

[Omega]

Maybe not sympathy but to mock and make tasteless jokes on the deaths of 22 people is pretty poor.

Really? They were taking a class on how to kill themselves while hoping to kill hundreds, if not thousands of people at the same time.

Why the fuck should we not mock them?

 

[akira28]

Pretty tasteless comments in this thread. Smh.

I thought it was fucked up until I found out they were at a terrorist training camp.

 

[RustyNails]

Oh please. They are doing it in the name of religion regardless if they have perverted the message or not

Just because they are doing it in the name of religion does not mean the religion preaches it. All the suicide bombings have been political in nature. There have been studies on it.
