It's probably similar to the way we think a suicide bomber is a true representative of Islam.

I would have agreed with you until last night. But the piece on 60 minutes was an eye-opener. Seven American students at an Islamic school in NY were interviewed. All seven unhesitatingly believed that suicide bombers received admission to paradise. One made the statement she would do it, "at a naval base" or somewhere -- which she later withdrew. This, in spite of the fact that the teachers of Islam at the school explicitly stated that it was a misinterpretation of the religion.

I recognize it is a small sample, but one could easily conclude that suicide bombers ARE representative of the breed of Islam being learned by teenagers today.

Watching this segment, for the first time, I saw how we are threatened in our country by this horrible mentality. I can readily see suicide bombings in NYC and other places in this country after watching this on TV.
