Suicide Ideaology
Suicide bombing has been rampant in terrorism complicating the reasons as to why somebody would decide to end other’s lives, the bomber’s life included. This does not only affect the males alone, but also females whose cases have also been recorded in the recent past. Gonzalez-Perez (2011) submits that the Muslims claims that such acts are condemned in their faith hence should not be tolerated. Therefore, there must be several factors that would be considered for any someone to be recruited into such activities.
To begin with, Islamic faith and beliefs can play a major factor in recruitment. For instance, it is hard for serious Christians to be involved in acts of terrorism because of their faith. It means that profession of Islamic faith is a direct qualification for membership. Secondly, gender orientation is also to be considered. This is because of the worrying trend of more women being involved in suicide bombing. Bloom (2011) observes that using women in terrorism is a great advantage because they may not thoroughly searched or touched on security, entry, or exit points, as compared to their male counterparts. The final factor to consider is impact or the end results. This takes into considerations of the targeted group which may include schools, churches, public places, just to mention a few. This will also determine the number of recruits required.
Scot (2006) observes the connection between terrorism and Jihad and this is an attraction factor to membership. For males, execution of such attacks will attract good rewards. To do this, the Holy Quran is required for guidelines in matters of this faith. Most Muslims are devoted in attending their forums and hence advertisement can be run easily. Finally, the unity and influence of Islamist groups like the Al-shabaab can act as a major medium of transmitting information about recruitment.
