Hi HG; Re the bizarre sexual / religious beliefs of suicide bombers. This may be so, but my reading of the Koran doesn't support any of that stuff. Humans have a long history of misquoting each other's religious books. I suggest that this is what happened here. If you want to find a really horrid version of the Koran, go read a translation by the Fundamentalist Christians. But if you want a translation that would be less repugnant, you should try one that is translated by mainstream Moslems. It's a short book, and it is beautiful in many ways. It's on the internet in translation in several places. Here's a good one: submission.org -- Carl P.S. Perhaps one of the Arabic speakers will comment on the accuracy of the above translation, or will give a link to a better.
