plus another thing, sam harris in right in my opinion when he negates the conclusion of the guy with white beard that soccer n male friendship are more relevant to suicide bombings. i live in this part of the world and the way most religious clergy promote jihad n extremism among masses is a definite factor in suicide bombings. it wouldnt be totally wrong to say that its the main factor

@writersblock26

well i live in pakistan, a country ravaged by suicide bombings. although i do not live in the epicenter of of those suicide attacks bt still i have witnessed a few myself. that is the most horrible thing in the world. and i hope no one gets to see them. well about me being muslim, all i can say is that i was born in a muslim family. there are elements in religion that can be used to manipulate people into doing such things as suicide bombings.
