and this demonstrates to me a lack of understanding about suicide terrorism. "mr" harris conveniently forgets, or never knew the number one suicide terrorists in the world are secular marxists (tamil tigers , sri lanka - who invented the suicide vest). or the reasons behind 9-11. he's imposing his views of religion and their motivation. are you saying that he thinks the religious belief in the afterlife is justification to "pre-kill" them?
"bible's imperative to kill your child " once again there is a self-evident distortion bias- the 'bible' doesn't have an 'imperative'.
