They were before 9/11 and they still are. Womble get your facts right. If your are anti Muslim then say so, posting inaccurate information just makes you look ignorant.

You state 80% of the worlds suicide bombers are Tamil tigers while you have no knowledge of how many suicide bombers or would be suicide bomebrs reside within communities from other groups ? Or are you privvy to information no one else in the world has ? Seeing as by all accounts most Islamic radicals appear to keep their radical opinions hidden from their nearest and dearest this presents a considerable question over that statement, will give good cause for misconceptions amongst those not subscribing to the radical veiws and be a big part in those not subscribing to the radical views not even being able to guess just how big the danger from these radicals present, except to know that when they go off with success theres usually plenty of devastation and lost life, usually civilian.

ps. "your" should be spelt "you're"

It reads as a rhetorical* question (imho).

*A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for rhetorical effect rather than for the purpose of getting an answer. ("How many times do I have to tell you to stop walking into the house with mud on your shoes?"). When a speaker declaims, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?" or "Will our company grow or shrink?", no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something.

They are not a bomber until they have commited the act. He was just using stats from known cases, which by the way is all this teacher could have done as well unless he has information no one else has.

And do you have references for that statistic?

The LTTE has frequently used suicide bombers as a tactic. They pioneered the use of concealed suicide bomb vests, which are now used by many other organisations worldwide. The tactic of deploying suicide bombers was used to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi, who was killed in 1991 using a prototype suicide vest, and Ranasinghe Premadasa, assassinated in 1993.[42][43]
LTTE had carried out more suicide bombings than any other organization on the face of the earth.According to the experts at janes securities,between 1980 to 2000,LTTE had　carried out a total number of 168 suicide attacks on civilians and military targets.The number of suicide attacks easily exceeded the combine total of Hizbullah and Hamas suicide attacks carried out during the same period.

is all i could find

But since 2001 the number of Muslim suicide bombers has increased quite a bit.

Even at the height of the civil war in Sri Lanka they weren't getting multiple suicide bombers every day like there is in Iraq.

According to the above information there were 168 in 20 years from the LTTE.

From April to September 2005 there were 170 in Iraq.

That would mean for every 1 non-Muslim suicide bomber, there would have to be 999,999,999,999 Muslim suicide bombers.

So if the Tamil Tigers had 168 suicide bombers up until 2000, that would mean there would have to be approx 168,000,000,000,000 Muslim suicide bombers - or to put it another way, 28,000 times the present population of the Earth.

I wasn't responding to the initial post. I was responding to the post claiming there were far more Tamil suicide bombers than Muslim ones.

Thanks - sorry for misinterpreting.

I think there should have been a proper hearing, allowing evidence to be examined, before any disciplinary action took place.

However, I wonder how (if it did) the topic of "most suicide bombers being Muslim" came up in a Religious Education class?

Discussing the various religions thoughts on life after death and how Muslim martyrs are promised 70 virgins after death. (or Raisins depending on the translation you use)

Yes, I had read that before (v. amusing).

Makes you wonder about female suicide bombers, though - what's to look forward to with seventy virgin boys?

I take it maths wasn't your strong point at school....

[etccarmageddon]

I make it 1680,000,000,000 but am losing the will to live so accept numeric defeat if anyone proves me wrong!
