The Psychology Behind Suic* ide Bombings
By Pierre Rehov, documentary filmmaker
On July 15 2005, MSNBC's "Connected" program discussed the 7/7 London attacks. One of the guests was Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker who has filmed six documentaries on the int *ifada by going undercover in the Palestinian areas.
Pierre's upcoming film, "Su *icide Killers," is based on interviews that he conducted with the families of sui *cide bombers and would-be bombers in an attempt to find out why they do it. Pierre agreed to a request for a Q&A interview here about his work on the new film. The interviewer was Andrew Cochran. This transcription of the interview is dated July 27, 2005
Q: What inspired you to produce "Sui* cide Killers," your seventh film?
A: I started working with victims of su* icide attacks to make a film on PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) when I became fascinated with the personalities of those who had committed those crimes, as they were described again and again by their victims. Especially the fact that suicide bombers are all smiling one second before they blow themselves up.
Q: Why is this film especially important?
A: People don't understand the devastating culture behind this unbelievable phenomenon. My film is not politically correct because it addresses the real problem-showing the real face of Isl am. It points the finger against a culture of hatred in which the uneducated are brainwashed to a level where their only solution in life becomes to kill themselves and kill others in the name of a God whose word, as transmitted by other men, has became their only certitude.
Q: What insights did you gain from making this film? What do you know that other experts do not know?
A: I came to the conclusion that we are facing a neurosis at the level of an entire civilization. Most neuroses have in common a dramatic event, generally linked to an unacceptable se *xual behaviour. In this case, we are talking of kids living all their lives in pure frustration, with no opportunity to experience sex, love, tenderness or even understanding from the opposite sex.
The separation between men and women in Islax m is absolute. So is contempt toward women, who are totally dominated by men. This leads to a situation of pure anxiety, in which normal behaviour is not possible. It is no coincidence that suicxide killers are mostly young men dominated subconsciously by an overwhelming libido that they not only cannot satisfy but are afraid of, as if it is the work of the devil.
Since Islax m describes heaven as a place where everything on earth will finally be allowed, and promises 72 virgins to those frustrated kids, killing others and killing themselves to reach this redemption becomes their only solution.
Q: What was it like to interview would-be suxicide bombers, their families and survivors of suicxide bombings?
A: It was a fascinating and a terrifying experience. You are dealing with seemingly normal people with very nice manners who have their own logic, which to a certain extent can make sense since they are so convinced that what they say is true. It is like dealing with pure craziness, like interviewing people in an asylum, since what they say, is for them, the absolute truth.
I hear a mother saying "Thank God, my son is dead." Her son had became a shahxeed, (a martyr), which for her was a greater source of pride than if he had became an engineer, a doctor or a winner of the Nobel Prize.
This system of values works completely backwards since their interpretation of Isxlam worships death much more than life. You are facing people whose only dream, only achievement is to fulfil what they believe to be their destiny, namely to be a sha heed or the family of a shahx eed. They don't see the innocent being killed, they only see the impure that they have to destroy.
Q: You say suixcide bombers experience a moment of absolute power, beyond punishment. Is death the ultimate power?
A: Not death as an end, but death as a door open to the after life. They are seeking the reward that God has promised them. They work for God, the ultimate authority, above all human laws. They therefore experience this single delusional second of absolute power, where nothing bad can ever happen to them, since they become God's sword.
Q: Is there a suicx ide bomber personality profile? Describe the psychopathology.
A: Generally kids between 15 and 25 bearing a lot of complexes, generally inferiority complexes. They must have been fed with religion. They usually have a lack of developed personality. Usually they are impressionable idealists. In the western world they would easily have become drug addicts, but not criminals.
Interestingly, they are not criminals since they don't see good and evil the same way that we do. If they had been raised in an Occidental culture, they would have hated violence. But they constantly battle against their own death anxiety. The only solution to this deep-seated pathology is to be willing to die and be rewarded in the after life in Paradise.
Q: Are xbombers principally motivated by religixous conviction?
A: Yes, it is their only conviction. They don't act to gain a territory or to find freedom or even dignity. They only follow Ax llah, the supreme judge, and what He tells them to do.
Q: Do all Muslx ims interpret jihad and martyrdom in the same way?
A: All Musx lim believers believe that, ultimately, Is lam will prevail on earth. They believe this is the only true religion and there is no room, in their mind, for interpretation. The main difference between moderate Musl xims and extremists is that moderate M xuslims don't think they will see the absolute victory of Isl xam during their life time, therefore they respect other beliefs. The extremists believe that the fulfilment of the Prophecy of Isl am and ruling the entire world as described in the Koran, is for today. Each victory of Bin Laden and his kind convinces 20 million moderate Musxli ms to become extremists.
