SUICIDE BOMBERS PSYCHE

There is no single psychological or demographic profile of suicide terrorists. No organization can create a person’s basic readiness to die and the task of recruiters is not to produce but rather to identify this predisposition in candidates and to reinforce it. Recruiters exploit the religious beliefs of the would-be bombers using the person’s faith that he/she will receive a reward in paradise in order to strengthen and solidify preexisting sacrificial motives.

WE NEED MORE EUROPE AND NOT LESS TO COMBAT TERRORISM

In the face of brutal Jihadist terror, we need more Europe and not less. We need more Europe in coordinating anti-terrorism policies. We need more Europe to strengthen cooperation among national intelligence services and to reinforce control of our external borders. We need more Europe through an effective PNR mechanism that goes hand in hand with right to data protection. We need more Europe in allowing member states the flexibility to have extra spending on counter-terrorism exempted from EU fiscal rules.
