Ruth Stein's pioneering study explains suicidal terrorism from a
psychoanalytic perspective. She argues that most Islamic extremists
undertake destructive and self-destructive actions not out of blind
hatred, nor even for political gain, but to achieve an explosive
merger with a transcendent awesome Father, God. The extremist is
thus motivated more by his love for God than his hatred of the
infidel. The contemporary Islamic terrorist kills "God's enemies"
to express his intoxication with and complete submission to the
God-idea. Stein further shows that this same leitmotif of filial
submission and sacrifice runs through patriarchal monotheism in
general.
