There are something like 8 billion non Muslims on Earth. Do you honestly believe you find 200k "insurgents" (an euphemism for murderous terrorist vermin) among them? If you have the math background here - which I doubt - then do some calculations and you know what I mean. Taro

I don't know where you get a number like 200K. Iran has a suicide bomber recruitment campaign that places the figure in Iran alone at 30K volunteers. Then some people say there are thousands more in Iraq. Expand that to all other muslim countries and the rest of the world and you could get alot more than 200K. Then you expand that to include all the ideologues, logistics support personnel, financiers, and strategists, and you get many thousands more. Then you expand that to all the people who support and praise their actions and you expand it to a majority of Muslims (50%+). So needless to say, I think your number way understimates the problem of suicide bombers in Muslim society. And what are Muslims doing about it? Making high minded speeches about solidarity with the victims of suicide bombers in English to the West and praising the suicide bombers and their families as great heros as they speak in Arabic to the Middle East.
