I'm wondering if the numbers of those committed to suicide in the name of their Islamic Jihad is even a fraction of what the lying, cheating, quisling US Lamestream media would have us believe.

You have a point there, but I am still troubled by the Islamic community in this country that aren't quite vocal enough about the atrocities commited by their fellow believers.

From this Thread:

ALIQAN, Afghanistan, Nov. 12 — In this town just taken from the Taliban by Northern Alliance troops, the busiest spot was Amon's Barbershop, where men lined up to have their beards shaved off.

In the 12 hours since the Taliban soldiers left this town, a joyous mood has spread. The people of Taliqan, who lived for two years under the Taliban's oppressive Islamic rule, burst onto the streets to toss off the restrictions that had burrowed into the most intimate aspects of their lives.
Men tossed their turbans into the gutters. Families dug up their long-hidden television sets. Restaurants blared music.

In the most noticeable change of all, women, clad in their head-to-toe burkas, walked the streets alone, no longer required to have a male relative at their side. They walked by themselves and they walked with each other, their blue and white and red burkas blowing open in the afternoon breeze.

"The Taliban, they were cruel people, and the whole city clapped and cheered when they retreated," said Muhammad Humayun, a 23- year-old pharmacist. "The first thing I did was take my turban off and throw it away."

There was a film made...oh, about 20 years ago.
It was called something along the lines of, "The Last Days" *or*, "The Bunker"
~I just cannot recall the exact name, anymore...(was depressing maximus even for Hollywierd...)
In any event; this film was a dramatization chronicalling the last few days of Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun & the select people surrounding the Fueher as the Russians approached Berlin.
Ol' Adolf was as crazy as a Loon with every incoming shell striking near that concrete bunker; although, Hitler enforced his will to the very end which included his ban on cigarettes, cigars etc...

Anyway, at the very end, Hitler, Eva & Hitler's dog retreat into their room following the *wedding* whereby they were to do what had to be done...& as soon as the gunshot was heard?
Everyone (still surviving) filed up the long flight of stairs, & lite-up a smoke.

Now, there're some interesting behaviors open for discussion here between the microcosm of that bunker, & the macrocosm of Kabul.
