How did al-Qaeda successfully convince 19 people to commit suicide to further their cause? Is it really just "because you get to live with Allah and 72 virgins"? Sure there have been other suicide bombers over religious reasons but Osama Bin Laden's motives had more to do with dragging America into war in the middle east to financially cripple us because we support Israel. Political issues more than theological ones.
This is really the only thing about 9/11 that has bothered me. I'm not a truther or anything but this never made sense.

Stupid people are basically dogs that you can trick into doing retarded things. Looks like all those years of inbreeding finally paid off.

They didn't....
Don't you remember the story about Osama bin Laden laughing because only a few of the 19 actually knew it was a suicide mission?
The rest thought they were just hijacking the planes.

Probably this desu. You don't need to convince 19 dudes to kill themselves you only need to convince the ones flying the plane.

People are not the rational creatures you assume them to be. We are all just bags of programmable neurons that can be trained to think all sorts of stupid shit when psy-ops tier brainwashing techniques are used. It is pretty much how every cult works.

They're ugly and have nothing to lose

You can't think of Muslims as rational human beings

And when they're already primed by believing in Islam, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Thousands of Japs more or less volunteered to become kamikaze pilots. A lot of them were forced, but a lot of them saw it as an honour to die for the emperor. Thousands. With that in mind, it's not that hard to imagine.
>>71092077
obviously they were still religious extremists, not that people aren't also willing to die for their countries
