Z, <There have been two cultures that have produced suicide bombers that I can think of. The first is WWII era Japan, and they were imperialists, and not languishing in poverty.>

I guess I should know, but did any Japanese suicide bomber ever target civilians? I assume you are talking about kamakaze fighters, and not something else, right?

<I read the Koran a couple of months ago. The whole 72 virgins thing for dying in Allah's cause is in there often, and there are tons of horrible anti-Christian, anti-Jewish statements in there. These people are ingrained with these anti-western values.>

Have you discussed this with a Muslim scholar? I remember a few months ago asking you to do this, if possible. I'm hoping one of them can give a straightfoward answer that doesn't dodge the question or take a liberalist attitude toward interpreting the Koran.
