One would hypothesize that willingness to commit suicidal violence would correlate with two elements one would expect to find in scriptures:
-
Calls to kill others for the faith; and
-
Rewards in the afterlife for dying in the cause of religion.
Looking at the three major monotheistic religions, I’d say that they match up as follows:
Judaism: contains multiple calls to kill in the name of religion in the scriptures (albeit often given different connotations in the Talmud, etc.). The Jewish afterlife is, however, not well developed - rudimentary compared with the other two.
Thus, prediction: Jews will be willing to kill, but no as willing to die, in the name of religion.
Christianity: scriptures are essentially pacifist (though depends on what is emphasized: still contains references to more-militant OT, minus the ameliorating effect of the Talmud. Very well-developed notion of the afterlife, martyrdom highly emphasized.
Prediction: Christians will be pacifists willing to commit suicide readily in the name of religion.
Islam: contains exhortations to kill in the name of religion and a well-developed afterlife.
Prediction: Muslims will be willing to both kill and die in the name of religion.
The problem, though, is that historical analysis shows that these predictions are not necessarily borne out.
For example, one of the earliest examples of a group willing to commit impressive suicidal violence in the name of religion is - Jewish. The Sicarii and Zealots were infamous (among Romans) for their willingness to use terrorist assassination tactics, and famously, a group of Zealots committed mass suicide rather than surrender at Masada. The willingness to kill could have been predicted, but not the willingness to die.
Christians may have been pacifist martyrs at one point, but the historical record of Christian pacifism over the centuries has been spotty, to put it mildly.
In Islam, there is precedent for groups willing to use suicidal violence - the so-called “Assassins”, or more properly, Ismailis. Thing is, they were considered highly unusual among Muslims (their most common victims being non-Ismaili Muslims), leading to a lot of legends concerning them: most prominently, their nickname. The term “assassin” is thought to be an insult, based on “hashishin” or eaters of the drug hashish: the notion is that they would have to be drugged up to commit their outrages.
In short, within Islam suicidal terrorism is not unknown; however, it is historically the province of dissident sects considered highly weird by the mainstream within Islam (as an aside, the Ismailis still exist today, and are now considered quite moderate). The groups they mostly resemble, historically, are the Sicarrii and Zealots of antiquity - who were Jewish.
Therefore, based on historical precedents, it would appear difficult or impossible to predict the form violence will take, from the scriptures alone, as our predictions would not be borne out in reality.
