Wow,
i wouldn't have though a little blast like that would wipe out 10 people.

With high explosives the blast is very "sharp" and tends to cut and tear things. If you used gunpowder the explosion would look just as big but wouldn't have ripped people apart like that.
 
The video is very horrible and graphic, but that's the reality of it. This video puts the exclamation point on horrible and graphic. Something that wouldn't be so profound in our mainstream western media.
 
Wow crazy stuff. Sometimes this graphic stuff is good to see as it really puts into perspective what really goes on in those places on a daily basis. Hearing on the news "yet another suicide bomber..." tends to just go right through one ear and come out the other but when you actually see it, it's an eye opener.

That's by far the most graphic examination of a suicide bomb attack I've seen. They don't show stuff like that on TV. I watched the 10:17 minute video from beginning to end. I was struck by how calm the people were. They are used to it after 25 years of this stuff. If that happened in the USA there would be 25x as much hysteria.

Wow. That is graphic. That's even more graphic then that vid of the Flanker crashing at the air show in the Ukraine.

So sad.
🙁

Your God delusion is the one bringing war.

If it wasn't god they'd find something else to blow themselves up for.

I beg to differ ... never will I ever see a fighter jet splattering a human being on its nose again. That video was unreal.

Conjecture.

It's conjecture concerning suicide bombers and this group in particular, but not extremists in general.
Suicide bombing is guaranteed death (disregarding failure) for the person carrying out the attack, so it's helpful for the person to believe in some sort of afterlife where he/she is rewarded for the act.
Politically motivated attacks tend toward assassinations, insurrections, guerillal warfare, and remote bombings.
And crazy people just attack with any method, including suicidal killing sprees.

Relgion (core beliefs of individual) and politics (all other beliefs) are both used to justify the killing of innocents. The essential reason is human pride, which tells the person "I have the right to kill you because I disagree with you". And people will make up a reason or hijack an existing cause to justify and rationlize their killing.
 
Video reminds of me of GTA3 back when bodies could explode into all parts.

Very graphics video. first I've seen of its kind.

 
It is such a shame that after thousands of years of civilization this is an example of a "modern" method to make a statement. This is the best we can come up with?

The type of mindset this suicide bombers have just boggles my mind. I really can not put into words to describe the insanity I feel when confronted with images such as this.

You are such a tool; every post you make that has any sort of the slightest hint of religion about it is woefully short of any open mindedness and devoid of higher thinking skills. The only conjecture, which seemingly came out of nowhere, was your nimrod statement about "your god delusion" bringing on the war. People blow things up for all sorts of reasons, religion and otherwise.

I tend to agree. (edit: with nkgreen)

This isn't about any God or religion - it's about a group of people bending others to their will. They'd find other ways to get converts if we didn't have religion.

Any way you look at it, this is horrifying.

It's always about the same thing it has always been about, haves vs. have nots.
 
It isn't a religious conflict. The Tamil Tigers want independence from Sri Lanka. They are also mainly Hindu, but IT IS NOT A RELIGIOUS CONFLICT.
