The importance of cultural variables for explaining suicide terrorism.
Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Aug; 37(4):370-1.BB

Abstract

Lankford criticizes the notion that suicide terrorists are "normal" and argues that they are suicidal. We have two misgivings about this. First, he puts sole focus on the personal side of suicidality and ignores the individual's context. Second, he fails to elaborate on the intent to harm others, which must also include the cultural, political, religious/ideological, and social-organizational factors of suicide terrorism.
