....and your 'credible link' is where?

I am not disputing your statement GR, just asking before anybody else does

Suicide Bombers Are Not New (5th paragraph)

“However, the most prolific suicide bombers have been seen in Sri Lanka with the Tamil Tigers. Southern Sri Lanka, dominated by the Sinhalese Buddhist government,”

Inside London terrorists' minds

“Pape cautioned against linking all suicide attacks to Muslims. He said the most prolific bombers, with nearly 80 attacks in recent years, are Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers, Marxist Hindus who originally invented the suicide vest.”

NB: The above article is mostly wrong about their religion and number of attacks… it’s double the number!



Under “1980 to present…”

The first modern suicide bombing—involving explosives deliberately carried to the target either on the person or in a civilian vehicle and delivered by surprise—was in 1981; perfected by the factions of the Lebanese Civil War and especially by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, the tactic had spread to dozens of countries by 2005 . Those hardest-hit are Sri Lanka during its prolonged ethnic conflict, Lebanon during its civil war, Israel and the Palestinian Territories since 1994 , and Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.

Lebanon saw the first bombing, but it was the LTTE Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka who perfected the tactic and inspired its use elsewhere[77] . Their Black Tiger unit has committed between 76 and 168 (estimates vary) suicide bombings since 1987 , the higher estimates putting them behind more than half of the world's suicide bombings between 1980 and 2000[78] . The list of victims include former Indian Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, and the president of Sri Lanka, Ranasinghe Premadasa.

GR, you needn't have gone to the trouble in providing these links, but I like what you have done here!

You posed a riddle within a specific premise and context all within your anti-west agenda.

I responded to this riddle sticking within this specific premise, context and agenda.

Your counter-response took ALL this out of YOUR original premise, context and agenda because the Sri Lankan suicide bombers have NOTHING to do with any US/UK invasion/attack.

and you unkindly started YOUR response by suggesting that I AM the thick one ...?

...it boils down to economics, and what a human life is worth, compared to the sophisticated weaponry an adversary may use. if the same amount of money was used for "butter" instead of "guns", how would those prepared to create (become) suicide bombers react?

A: They are all predominantly Arab/Muslim! [/i]

You made the blatant racist sweeping statement that suicide bombing is an exclusive Arab/Muslim trait, but you’ve been proven dead wrong with my Tamil Tiger info!

The reason I state this is because all the predominantly non-muslim countries that have been under the invasion/occupation of the US, or been attacked by the US have not spawned suicide bombers.

Here, you've screwed up again because the Vietcong also conducted suicide bombings and they're a non Arab/Muslim country (Vietnam) invaded by the US.

As you can see, you don’t stand a chance against unkie unless you’re on your toes non-stop but can you hack it?

We're talking frequency and hellacious efficacy here, GR. Who beats the camel jockeys at that, eh? May they be startled by their male camel virgins in the afterlife.

GR if I am a racist and making sweeping statements, then you will prove to me that a) most suicide bombers in recent history are not predominantly muslim, and b) the main victims of these missions have not been innocent civilians.

Also, the VietCong along with the Kamikazes targeted predomonantly military targets and not innocent volleyball games, where I will add the death toll is now 93.

After both these conflicts finished, neither the Japanese or Vietnamese embarked on futile insurgencies like the muslims, which only result in the deaths of more muslims at the hands of muslims.

I have been careful in this thread to only include posts where innocent civilians have been murdered and not military targets.

These days, it's mainly the Islamofascists who blow themselves up, taking with them civilians. And they take their own with them. Indefensible monsters.

US Killed 700 Civilians in Pakistan Drone Strikes in 2009

The vast majority of the deaths, around 700 according to one estimate, have been innocent civilians. With such a massive civilian toll and so little to show for it, it is no wonder that Pakistani people have been up in arms over the continued strikes.

... and the warped logic of the islamists compels them to respond to this by commiting the mass murder of 93 innocent civilians at a volleyball game - and their own people at that.
