there IS a clear answer to it. u have to find it out urself.
Buddhism have a different approach
to truth. there's no much of blindly believe.
Initially, prajñā is attained at a conceptual level by
means of listening to sermons (dharma talks), reading, studying,
and sometimes reciting Buddhist texts and engaging in discourse.
Once the conceptual understanding is attained, it is applied to
daily life so that each Buddhist can verify the truth of the
Buddha's teaching at a practical level. Notably, one could in
theory attain Nirvana at any point of practice, whether deep in
meditation, listening to a sermon, conducting the business of one's
daily life, or any other activity.
Extremists can also use the name of Truth to do sucide bombing btw. where is wisdom
in truth? truth that lack wisdom is as good as no truth. in
Buddhism wisdom/middle
way is very
important.

Re the flag and the wind, I believe the answer has got to do
with the mind, but this is not the proper answer to give at all. It
is again more like playing mind games. It's like witnessing a car
knocking down a jay-walker. Which is moving? My answer is
both. Yours? The mind? So it did not happen at all?
How many approaches are there to truth anyway? You said not to
blindly believe, but I am afraid you did not really walk the talk.
There are truths that can be experienced and there are truths
that can only be known cognitively. Yes, there is a sense in which
the truth can be both cognitively grasped and also
experienced. But trusting someone need not be seen as blindly
believe, so long as one has a good reason for
trusting.
Bringing in the issue of suicide bombers is a red herring.
