Ah, but you see the act of becoming a martyr has nothing to do with killing other people. It is willingly sacrificing yourself rather then giving up your beliefs. Now, that in itself is not suicide. If the Muslem community does consider the suicide bombers to be martyrs, yet they are not commiting suicide, therefore the term suicide bomber is not an accurate description of the action being carried out.

Since murder is involved and not suicide, the term homicide bomber IS the most accurate term to apply to the attacks.

"Suicide Bomber" is not a term used by the Muslims. It is a term used by the West to describe the act. We are talking about the Western press' use of the term. At least I thought that was what we are talking about.

Speak softly, and carry a 57 megaton stick!
But the term is inaccurate. That is the problem I have.

I don't see it that way. But I don't think we'll gain anything by continuing with this.
