- Violence as a Sacramental or Divine Act
- Terrorists may not think that violence is not good, but may believe that they have to use violence for their purpose. Or, they may use violence because they think their use of violence is justified by the God they believe.
- Conflicts Seen as Total War
- Belief in Apocalypse, End of Days
- Demonization of the Enemy
- Not Killing People, but Objects
- For terrorists, people whom they kill are not people living but objects used to send their message throughout terrorism. The people are killed to gain attention from as many people as possible; civilians may be better targets than soldiers. Terrorism is done as a message, which is not for us, but may be Muslim to remind of starting Total War.
- Outsiders Who Aim to Tear the 'System' down
- Emphasis on Martyrdom
- This is a cause of suicide bombings. Suicide may be seen as sin. For terrorists, suicide bombers will be innocent after killing people by suicide-bombing terrorism.
Actually, I am not understanding completely, but those are the things that terrorists have in common and that I've learned in lecture. This is very scary, and is enough reasoning for the motivation of terrorism.
