After the9/11incident, the worldwide terrorist, Middle East Islamic countries and religions are all gained extensive attention of people. It is the contradiction of ’traditional characteristics’against’modernity’between Islamic culture and Christianity culture that, on one hand, was used to interpret the origin of Extremist forces’Authoritarian ideology, on the other hand, was used to interpret the profound contradictions between the east and the west. It is called’terrorism’that attacking by the way of unconventional warfare in order to cause huge casualties and losses. As same as the general characteristics of terrorism, the suicide attacks, which often cost attackers’lives, usually aim at civilians and that makes it different from conventional War, whose object is usually National Army. Suicide attacks, like war, are extremely anti-moral.Suicide attacks are often accused of the culture product of the Middle East countries, which is a threat to western civilization, so finding out whether there is a direct responsibility of Islamic religion and faith to the expansion of the terrorism is the key to uncover the mystery. In fact terrorism has no direct relation to any mainstream religion, and no direct relation to noble beliefs which is the kernel of religions. Being converted to religion represents the spiritual transcendence of people in the face of their own limitations, so the Islamic faith plays an important role in people’s creating and protecting the local values, social order and the idea of law. The Self-alienation structure, corresponds to faith, is also ubiquitous. Furthermore, the suicide attack contains a slaughter pattern which place racial threat on human existence. The more efficient of the attacks work, the faster people alienate themselves. In real life, it reflects the justice problem between the strong and the weak. Finally, a fundamental value paradox of self-destruction emerges from existing structures of Muslims who perform suicide attacks since they makes themselves value carriers of outward things. In the choice of their own destruction or in the inverse move of individual’s subjectification, the suicide attackers prove the mortality of human beings to some extent. The triple threat, in turn, deepens the developing paradox of the terrorist attack itself.We need to return to the context of existentialism to explain the value paradox of suicide structure, which means that we need to return to the reality of human. In the illustration of the process of alienation of human’s essence, Hegel and Marx both suggested that the fundamental value paradox of self-destruction could be analyzed in three subjectivity levels. So the three levels are also the foundation of self-criticism and Value Restructuring and the paradox will disappear out after free conscious individuals are finally established. Atomic individualism and modern principles that are only used to protect self-interest should be sublated because they are the creators of the absolute evil, making death as tools. Beware of the consequence that produced by modern countries which make use of counterterrorism and turn it into another kind of terrorism.
