TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The importance of cultural variables for explaining suicide terrorism JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - Güss, C. Dominik A1 - Tuason, Ma Teresa SP - 370 EP - 371 VL - 37 IS - 4 N2 - Lankford criticizes the notion that suicide terrorists are "normal" and argues that they are suicidal. We have two misgivings about this. First, he puts sole focus on the personal side of suicidality and ignores the individual's context. Second, he fails to elaborate on the intent to harm others, which must also include the cultural, political, religious/ideological, and social-organizational factors of suicide terrorism.
