Suicide Bombing. Why? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by John R (United States), Jul 26, 2007 at 20:30

Dr. Pipes,

Why is suicide bombing so popular in the Muslim world? Where is it more popular?
What does it say to a religion or a culture in which suicide bombing is popular? Doesn't it say it is perverted?

Thanks,
John R
