The author deals with suicide terrorists as the most radical version of terrorism. We can seе examples and reasons to recourse terrorism and find optimal ways to eliminate or at least reduce this threat. In the analysis, it is stated that the main motives for suicide are rewards in heaven, or economic benefits, or persuasion of the family, but I think that it is too simplistic. For examples are evoked reasons for resorting to terrorism and finding optimal ways to eliminate or at least reducing this threat. Social contacts, even in intercultural communication, influence the building of trust, the overcoming of prejudices and suppress aggression. Ignoring justice, objective truth, tolerance, dialogue, consent to exclusiveness and conflict, to a stable balance of terrorism, radical destruction and vengeance of equal or greater death – consent to the purification of the world by terror, to «victories» that do not bring good to anybody. Such victories should spoil the winners, especially since the final victory is not possible for either side. In this paper, I will try to prove that the main motive is the reflection of life, dehumanization of man, human activities, different cultures.
