This Element explores the disputed relationship between Islam and
suicide attacks. Drawing from primary source material as well as
existing scholarship from fields such as terrorism studies and
religious studies, it argues that Islam as a generic category is
not an explanatory factor in suicide attacks. Rather, it claims
that we need to study how organisations and individuals in their
particular contexts draw tools such as Islamic martyrdom
traditions, ritual practices and perceptions on honour and purity
from their cultural repertoire to shape, justify and give meaning
to the bloodshed.
