Personal devotion to Islam is unrelated to support for suicide bombing among Palestinian Muslims, according to the study presented May 27 at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society in Los Angeles. But the more often Muslims attended mosques, the more likely they were to support suicide terrorism.

Note to researcher; If the bomber is at the mosque a lot, first he is a muslim then he is a terrorist. We need another study on the rate of incidence of chickens coming to life after an egg is laid.

Have they done a study on the number of suicide bombers who are Muslims, vs. the number who are not?

[Alouette]

Religion is not the only factor encouraging Palestinian rebellion against Israeli occupation or support for suicide terrorism.

The main factor is Jew-hate.

What a bunch of crap! Islam, it's not just breakfast for terrorists anymore, it's their blueprint for world domination!

At least 70 percent of more than 300 suicide attacks that occurred between 2000 and 2003 were carried out by religiously motivated organizations, recent research by Ginges’ colleague Scott Atran has shown.

And the remaining 30 percent were carried out by whom?

“In contrast, communal religious devotion, measured by the frequency of Mosque attendance, was a good predictor of support for suicide terrorism, even after controlling for a wide variety of factors, including frequency of prayer, age, economic situation, gender, refugee status, and attitudes about the peace process and the formation of a Palestinian state based on Muslim law, the Shari’a.”

Ah, what's this? Maybe the article should be re-titled. So much for TROP.

The isn't that all the muslims are terrorists but that all the terrorists are muslims

[tkathy]

Most terrorists are muslim. No muslims have done anything about this, just denial and whining and blaming others.

Just what we need: another study by a psychologist who wants to tell us what we should think and how we should feel.

"Personal devotion to Islam is unrelated to support for suicide bombing among Palestinian Muslims, according to the study presented May 27 at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society in Los Angeles. But the more often Muslims attended mosques, the more likely they were to support suicide terrorism." (emphasis mine)

I don't think it's very surprising that people who are simply looking for a closer relationship with God would be less supportive of this insanity than those who are being fed "Kill the Jews" propaganda from their clerics on a regular basis.

This study is fantasy.

It must have been sponsored by comedy central.

The religion of mohamed is founded on the concept of convert or die.

Islam the religion of peace my @$$ !! What a bunch of crap !!! It's in the acronym I. S. L. A. M. ( Islam's Spititual Leaders Advocate Murder ) And if they don't where have they been ? Do you hear of ANY Islamic leaders denouncing their terrorist activities ??? Where is the outrage with these so called peace loving Mullas ??? there is none because they support the violance plain and simple . We are at war with radical islam , and moderates don't seem to want to support the US position of human rights . So U-M , study that !!!

[Celtic Conservative]

U-M study shows devotion to Islam is not linked to terror

Celtic Conservative study shows attendance at U-M not linked to education.
