Suicide Bombers: Who’s Next, (2007) is a book by Violeta Matović, that deals with suicide terrorism, in particular two decades of religious conflict between Christians and Muslims.
Pointing out the economic reasons for the conflict of the Islamic East and the Christian West, the author explores secular aspects of suicide terrorism through the scientific approach, contrary to the so far accepted dominant aspect of religious devotion of the Muslims. Identifying the techniques with which the indoctrination by the concept of martyrdom is carried out over the Muslims, the author actually reveals the mechanisms by which the organizers of suicide attacks manage to gain the support from the Muslim community, and thereby a larger number of individuals who devote themselves to a suicide mission.

Famous quotes containing the word suicide:
“However great a man’s fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear-headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance—so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival. But think how a sense of survival must clamour to be heard at the last moment, what excuses it must present of a totally unscientific nature.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
