Homicide not Suicide Bombers

To:  Media

This petition will be circulated to media outlets around the world.

In most media today, people who blow themselves up with the intent of murdering as many people as possible are called Suicide Bombers. This is a perversion of the the intent, the act and the tragic results. It places the emphasis on the perpetrator and not on the victims. The major intent in this act is to murder as many people as possible, suicide is merely the means. If the bomber somehow survives and is brought before a court, they will be charged with attempted murder, not attempted suicide. The term suicide bomber minimizes the tragic results for the victims and their families. If we can't properly name this vicious act, how can we expect it to be condemned worldwide? Please do your part in ensuring that we express our outrage at these acts by taking this small step to call it what it is, Homicide.

Sincerely,

Sincerely,
