Fighting Suicide Bombing: A Worldwide Campaign for Life: Praeger Security International

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 noi 2006 – vârsta până la 17 ani
How does one effectively fight suicide bombers? What threat do they hold for Western society? How do people who love peace reconcile the need for war? Noted genocide expert Israel W. Charny addresses these questions in this highly personal description of suicide bombings and terror as the opening salvos of a Third World War. Charny first seeks to understand what makes suicide bombers tick, as well as the culture from which they emerge. Taking this understanding of what he calls human evil, he then proposes a hawkish campaign that ultimately emphasizes peace rather than irrational fear.By deeming suicide bombing and terrorism as necessary subjects in the study of psychology, Charny presents yet another weapon in the war against terrorism-a war that he believes will only escalate without drastic action. Ultimately, he calls for a worldwide campaign for life led by religious and secular leaders across the globe. He concludes the book with a vignette from Islamic culture that speaks nobly to furthering peace and life.

Recenzii

Suicide bombing, argues Charny, is a product of an Islamic fundamentalist Culture of Death that is at war with a Judeo-Christian Culture of Life. Proceeding from this basic premise, he explores the psychology of suicide bombing and tends to what he thinks are its implications. Thus suicide bombers become a pathological aspect of Islam that needs to be confronted with a spiritual battle over values (which includes limiting the speech of those Muslims thought to be promoting the Culture of Death), as well as police-military force.
