In the article, he explains that away by saying in countries where there is a difference in religion and where one is Muslim. So if Christians are occupying Muslims, then terrorism. If Christians are occupying Christians, then maybe violent resistance, but no terrorism. He noted the IRA, saying that they never engaged in suicide terrorism. They engaged in violent resistance, but not suicide terrorism and they never set off bombs to kill a maximum # of people. Almost always they called ahead to war of the bomb, so a minimum of people would be killed. Muslim terrorists want to maximize civilian deaths. I think it also depends on how uneven the power distribution is. With N. Irish, the Prots are on top but not by that much whereas the Israelis hold considerably more power than the Palestinians. I think that allows a certain desperation to set in which leads to suicide bombing. Most suicide bombers are young and don't see any hope of any future. Its the same with the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. The TT are much weaker than the ruling group. ted
