TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The myth of the myth of martyrdom JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - Sela, Yael A1 - Shackelford, Todd K. SP - 376 EP - 377 VL - 37 IS - 4 N2 - Lankford asserts that suicide terrorism is attributable to suicidality. We argue in this commentary that this assertion is not well supported theoretically or empirically. In addition, we suggest that failure to acknowledge religious beliefs as motivationally causal for suicide terrorism may place innocent people at risk of murder in the service of political correctness and multiculturalism.
