Pierre Rehov Reveals: Why Suicide Bombers Kill

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Four years after 9/11, America is still trying to understand the implications of terrorism at home. "Suicide Killers" by French/Israeli filmmaker Pierre Rehov answers the impossible question of "why do they do it?" The film examines the psychopathology of suicide bombers, including chilling interviews with incarcerated bombers and their families, as well as survivors of suicide attacks.

"The destruction of the World Trade Towers was Islamist reveille," says Rehov, "that the Koran's prophecy of Muslim supremacy is imminent. Americans must understand this message and the global force behind it to stem further attacks. Look at Israel," he warns, "and you'll see how terrorism can become a part of daily life."

While directing "Suicide Killers," Rehov spent hundreds of interview hours looking into the eyes of terrorists, exploring their psyche, and seeing firsthand the culture that creates the terrorist mind.

"A suicide bomber experiences a single delusional second of absolute power during which he is king of the world -- beyond civilization, human law and punishment," says Rehov, who is in New York to complete the English version of his latest film slated for release this fall. Rehov directed three earlier films on terrorism in the Middle East, and is available to discuss the cultural and psychological conditions that honor and perpetuate suicide bombing.

According to Rehov, America symbolizes the free world, equality between men and women, and a refuge to minorities and liberal capitalism. These values are absent in the Muslim world, where freedom is not even a concept, equality between men and women doesn't exist, all money is in the hands of a few dictators and their relations, and the poor are fed with religion without having power or hope for a decent life.

Rehov's films have screened in Milan, Rome, and London, and he had his own 5-day film festival in NYC in January 2005. An earlier documentary, "The Road to Jenin," shown at the Warsaw International Film Festival and on PBS in New York and Florida in 2004, was used as evidence by the Israeli courts to sue Mohammad Bakri for "Jenin Jenin," which was proven to be a fraud.
