CULVER CITY, Calif., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Deterring terrorism effectively is a compelling issue in the post-Sept. 11 age. Knowing the motivations of those willing to die for their cause is a key component to arriving at a solution, says author Christian C. Nwobi, Ph.D. In his new book, "The Urge to Die" (now available through AuthorHouse), Nwobi delves into the mind of a terrorist and examines his religious motivations for suicide and destruction.

Peter believes that he is a messiah who will bring all mankind into paradise by blowing up the entire universe with a nuclear weapon. His reasoning stems from the belief that the gate of paradise will only open if all mankind dies, and that it is his mission to bring about this Utopia of destiny.

He leaves his home and wife in New York and heads for Tehran, where he meets with the founders of an organization responsible for recruiting, training and funding terrorists. Through these connections, Peter hopes that he can gain the training and means to carry out his mission.

Peter trains in Pakistan, where he learns about the concept of the afterlife--as well as the possibility that there isn't an afterlife if evolution proves to be true. Nothing can persuade Peter that the existence of paradise in the afterlife is an illusion, however, and he remains steadfast in his mission.

In this timely and fascinating work, Nwobi addresses the role of religion and the promise of paradise in people's urge to die, as well as the difficulty of policing this kind of crime. "Rather than strive to better their lots on Earth, they resolve to die so as to continue a better life after death in the promised paradise," says Nwobi. "The troubling aspect of policing those with the urge to die ... is that the implementation of their urge seeks no point for a return."

Nwobi is a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo with a degree in political science. He also completed postgraduate studies at the State University of New York and Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria. Nwobi has taught at the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and currently manufactures and packages medical and prescription cosmetics. Other books by Nwobi include "Crushed Love," "The Eastern Boys" and "The Facts of Intelligent Design of Creation and the Facts I Am Being Radio-Waved."
