: it does not deny its own right to life, but others' right! "life-denying, politically self-destructive fundamentalism" not "politically and life-denying self-destructive fundamentalism"; it ultimately denies human life altogether.

حرمان الآخرين من حقهم في الحياة
A life-denying means here denying other people from living. We have to pay attention to some very important keywords: terrorist attack (which denotes killing), destructive (which again refers to kiliing). The word here has to do with KILLING people (and may be killing oneself "suicide bombing"). Thus, I suggest something like حرمان الآخرين من حقهم في الحياة. Denying can be rendered into arabic as نكران like in the example selfdenial or حرمان like in the example "the denial of a person’s right to education is equally a denial of his right to exist as a free and productive human being". I think the word حرمان fits here quite well.

Think about this suggestion:
(لكن) يا ترى ما هي الأسباب التي دعت إلى ارتكاب الهجوم الإرهابي أصلا؟ وما الذي حمل العرب على الانقلاب على أعقابهم ويعودوا ليولوا وجهوهم مرة أخرى للأصولية التي تحمل في طياتها دمار الذات و تزهق الأرواح؟
Check if the context permits the addition لكن.

Please correct this على أعقابهم ليولوا not على أعقابهم ويعودوا ليولوا . You may have noticed that the word "revert" is not innocent, it's ladden with ideology;)
