The whole of the Arab world, minus the oil, is economically less significant to the rest of the world than one Finnish telephone company.

This is one of the best articles I have ever read on the causes of terrorism. Thank you very much.
What does go through the mind of a homicide bomber? I mean, besides his jawbone...
Sounds like the Borg..............
For a thorough read on the ideas expressed, take a look at this book:
From Publishers Weekly
"Following the end of colonial rule in the Middle East, the newly independent Arab nations did not become progressive and free: they are despotic; most persecute religious or ethnic minorities; all oppress women; none has participatory institutions. In a scathing and provocative critique, Pryce-Jones ( Paris in the Third Reich ; Cyril Connolly ) blames these dismal conditions on what he sees as a Muslim reversion to tribal and kinship structures as well as slavish obedience to complex codes of honor and shame that prevent concepts such as open debate, democracy and accountability from taking root. With Islamocentric shortsightedness, Arabs understood Nazism in terms of German revenge for humiliation suffered in World War I. Arab leaders admired both Hitler and Lenin as careerist conspirators who made good. Pryce-Jones sees the same tribal, king-of-the-hill mentality at work today in the Palestine Liberation Organization, a careerist group built around a few audacious personalities who arrogated the right to speak for a whole people."
I've have formed my own opinion on homicide bombers...they're gullible losers who've lost the capacity for critical thinking and have thus fallen prey to the powers of group-think.
Most interesting read.
Must read article ping!
Thanks for the ping. Interesting read. Imagine these pigs when they go to jannah and see the devils cauldron instead of the 72 houiris...
"Some of the Palestinian suicide bombers wrap their penises into fire-proof aluminum foil to save them for the pleasures to come."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
...reading file.
stop it you are killing me...ROTFL...ha ha ha..
There you have it. Suicide bombers are sexually frustrated young men. Living in a sexually repressed society, they have no outlet for their urges. When some cleric promises them 72 virgins in paradise, it must seem like a great deal compared to their miserable surroundings on one hand and their own hand (on the other hand).
Hee hee!
But wait! Logically: wouldn't you stop to think that you may need to cover the rest of your body a bit...or does he think only his penis will go to heaven? Whats it suppose to be atttachted to once you get there?
If you wrap your big toe in aluminum foil will that go to heaven unscathed?
I just don't get it. Then again they never bother to tell their recruiters "you first".
To beat jihad, send over an army of women willing to do what it takes.
Screw them silly.
Listen, Abu, one bad girl on this ole earth is worth more than your effing virgins upstairs.
Nervous? Yes, have some viagra.
Interesting article.
That's a unique strategy for winning the WOT. I wonder where we'd find the volunteers. On second thought, we could press all those chicks making Internet porn into service.
