Terry, you are right. 13% is too high a number. I won't point out what already has been about the why's and wherefores but I must take you up on the point about it not being about religion.

I don't think anyone would deny that there is a seeming abundance of Moslem bombers - But only 15 years ago the ones being reported on, around here anyway, were all Christian. From both sides of the divide in Northern Ireland. This spate of bombings is about as religious as those were. I don't think the 'troops' know better. I believe it is the leaders, on both sides of this war, that are using religion to wind up the perpetrators and invoke righteous indignation in the west.

I would agree that to say it is nothing to do with religion was probably a bit of an exaguration but it is certainly more to do with who holds power that who's prophet is right!

Cheers
