Did you think he was moonlighting as a yoga instructor?
well the article I raid said that terrorists were on a training run, I thought the people who died might have been bystanders.
well I guess literally they were. But I mean like uninvolved bystanders.

Yeah.
There were so many innocents that have yet to die. Now who is going to kill them!?!?
Thats the question we should be asking.
no sympathy for assholes
I'd assume there's protocol to these things, same as any terrorist activity. Ehat they entail, I don't know, probably running, timing and detonation?

Loss of life is always sad.
But this loss of life seems to be rather less sad and rather more funny than most loss of lives.
I have no doubt that not every individual at that training camp would've had the fate of been a suicide bomber, had this unfortunate event not happened...
But I'm also of no doubt that more people than this number would've died in totality had this unfortunate event not happened - that is to say the suicide bombers went on to suicide bomb.
Moreover, many of these individuals would've died in a fiery explosion ANYWAY...
Even as far as wars go, this is a very untragic set of deaths.

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.
And who says they were all un-coerced? Because it was a class? How many times did you refuse to stay in a classroom your parents put you in when you were a child? Because they didn't choose not to blow people up? Who says they wouldn't have made that choice?
We don't know nearly enough about the make-up of that class. All I know is that I won't be losing any sleep over their deaths, but I sure as hell won't be mocking them either...
Except the instuctor. Got what he deserved for such incendiary behavior.
There isn't a defense force for suicide bombing in this thread though.
Not being excited over the situation in afghanistan, which leads to these people blowing themselves up, isn't supporting terrorism or the individual. Noting this, shouldn't be lumped into a giant herp derp of a lulz defense force lul. I've tried to be clear, I see others doing the same. How are you coming to the conclusion that the folks opinions whom are not high fiving each other, is truncated down to 'blah blah blah defense force.'?
This person isn't a terrorist sympathizer for posting this.
edit;
or are they...
How can people not feel empathy for the random "evil terrorist"? Can you really not reach out with your thoughts beyond the end of your nose?
Gg you were born in the wrong part of the world at the wrong time. You have sided with evil and you cannot be reasoned with, you must die for what others have done.

Pointless deaths, but that's where my sympathies end. World is, for a moment, a slightly safer place.

Suicide Bombing was invented by Tamil Tigers.

Pretty agreeable outcome, all things considered. Amusing twist of poetic justice you might say. Still, it's tragic in a general sense that people can become so profoundly brainwashed that they'd use suicide-murder to advance their goals.
12/10. Worthy of the Count himself.

Sounds like an explosive ending.
On that bombshell, I'm out.

I could say I'm drowning stray dogs in the name of Power Rangers. That doesn't mean we say Power Rangers is at fault.

Power Rangers doesn't claim to be divinely inspired IIRC. People who believe a book was written or inspired by a god probably take the book more seriously than a TV show.

Please read the Quran before making claims that Islam is a religion of peace. The book calls repeatedly and relentlessly for war with non-believers. It does so with repulsive imagery of chopping off infidel heads, I might add.
You're right that the bombings are political in nature, but "political in nature" is not mutually exclusive with "religious."
There are people who believe that violence and death of any kind is horrible no matter who does it and no matter what reasons, and believe no one should kill/hurt anything ever. I call them extreme pacifists.
Is there any more information on the students? I have to wonder how many (if any) were kids brainwashed or strong-armed into becoming suicide bombers. Not necessarily sympathizing, just sayin'. I didn't not chuckle at some of the jokes.

For some reason this made me think of a quote by Christopher Hitchens:
If the counsel of the peaceniks had been followed, Kuwait would today be the nineteenth province of Iraq. Bosnia would be a trampled and cleansed province of Greater Serbia, Kosovo would have been emptied of most of its inhabitants, and the Taliban would still be in power in Afghanistan. Yet nothing seems to disturb the contented air of moral superiority of those that intone the "peace movement".

It is a shame that 23 people for whatever reason came to the point in their life where they were in the position to be taking suicide bombing lessons but I am not honestly saddened by their deaths, that is my honest reaction. Even though 23 people pointlessly died and there could have been better ways to stop them from doing this, there were probably way more lives saved by this happening than lost. And the lives that were saved were probably a majority of innocent civilians. Also, most, if not all, of these men were probably going to kill themselves anyway. At least this way it was just themselves and not bystanders.
So while people blowing themselves up is unfortunate, it is the lesser of two evils in this situation.
So while people blowing themselves up is unfortunate, it is the lesser of two evils in this situation.
I look at it this way:
It's September 9, 2001, terrorists are planning to hijack some planes and send two to New York, and one to the Pentagon. But during their preparations, an explosive goes off, killing them.
I have to say I'd have GLADLY sacrificed the lives of the terrorists that day.
We have no idea what these sucide bombers were planning, or who their targets were going to be. And, hey, we never have to find out. I have to say I prefer this outcome over some innocent human beings mourning the loss of family and friends slain in numerous suicide bombings.
That's 22 potential acts of terrorism extinguished. I can't say I feel too guilty about chuckling at the tasteless jokes.
It's a shame that we live in a world that births terrorism and terrorists, but I can't say I feel bad when people who were planning to end hundreds, if not thousands, of lives were stopped by, ironically, the very means in which they planned to end those lives. Sorry.

In the middle east they are usually synonymous.
