Hi Brumar89; Re suicide bombing and Buddhists, it's probably worth noting that suicide bombing was invented by the Tamil who are fairly closely related to Buddhists, that is, they are predominantly Hindu but the second most popular religion in the territory they held was Buddhism. The Tamil uprising was spectacularly terrorist, they are the only terrorist organization that is credited with killing more than one world leader. The Tamil Tigers were a Marxist-Leninst group and were not religiously oriented. So I've little doubt that only a small amount of scratching will find you some Buddhist suicide bombers among their ranks. On the other hand, one of their initial complaints was that the Sri Lankan government gave preference to Buddhists. -- Carl
