My Review on the Moral Psychology of Terrorism

“My Review on the Moral Psychology of Terrorism”      This ebook is based on the past ten years of Terrorism and how it has been driven by the interface of psychology, morality, faith, religion, and politics. This, the modern terrorism reflects with the terrorists' pursuit of their beliefs and the aggressive promotion of their world-views at the expense of the lives of those who do not share them. This enlightens us the reader to their beliefs and what their acts of terrorism are fueled by which are perceived to be arguments of morality and views that are rooted in the psyches and beliefs of terrorists. You will see as you read this, it is critically important to examine the growing phenomenon of terrorism through not only a political lens, but a psychological one as well – where questions about the cognitive mappings of those who are considered terrorists are probed. The examination of the moral psychology of terrorism opens up new insights into the real threats that face the World. This book will enlighten you to the point, as it brings out discussions and seeks to understand what motivates people to kill both themselves and innocent bystanders. How can we better understand this tragic human path towards violence? None other than to learn with and from it. Providing perspectives from several continents and academic disciplines, the editors and contributors of this ebook move the study of terrorism away from its traditional center in the academic worlds of political science and security studies and present a wide range of perspectives that focus on psychology, philosophy, and questions of morality, linguistics, history, religious studies, and ethics. This book is intended to awaken the academic community and the general public alike, these rich presentations and analyses are sure to foster a healthier, more productive, and more effective conversation about terrorism, the minds of terrorists, and how to reach a place where this violent phenomenon is less prevalent. My personal thoughts and why I chose this topic:      I chose this topic because it hits close to home with September 11th. I have never envisioned wanting to take my own life. Then to imagine being the person not only taking my own life, but a boat load of others, who have no choice along with me, I just cannot foresee myself doing this.      I just cannot imagine raising your child to grow up and being a killer, a suicide bomber. “Now eat your cereal, and then go play, and be a good boy. Don’t get into any trouble today, because when you grow up your are gonna hafta take your life and the lives of many others for what we believe in Son! I love you!” Nope. I just don’t see it.      I think it is a wise study, I mean I do not approve of these people, but by all means, I want to know what goes on in their minds.     I do think it is psychological, and I think it does need studied, much more in fact, and I agree, people need made aware what it is that is going on in these people’s minds. In the meantime, maybe we can start sending messages over the airwaves, ‘What you are being taught is wrong, your life does matter, and by the way, you aren’t going to get 21 virgins when you die.”      Something needs done. And then on the same token, please tell us how us, the United States helping to fix your country, means you need to destroy ours? How is that right?      I have so many unanswered questions and I cannot be the only one. I feel this topic, is very relevant and still needs further research, and also needs made aware so more can know we ARE researching it.
