For starters I don't have a 'religion', I don't believe fully in any perception of why we are here and what the purpose was. I don't believe in a 'heaven' or 'hell' as it is preceived, but I do believe (as Rodney King said) we should try to all get a long, however.....what's up with this:

"Sixteen percent of respondents to the poll conducted for The Times newspaper and ITV News felt the July 7 bombers' cause -- although not their actions -- was just.

Thirteen percent said the bombers should be regarded as martyrs, and 7 percent felt suicide attacks on British civilians were justified in some circumstances."

Excuse me, a larger then tiny portion of the Muslim sect in the UK thinks it is fine to go around blowing up civilians if you're upset with the way things are going? 13% of these tools thought the bombers should be martyrs? Why, because they were cowards that hid among the masses to kill civilians, wow that is really hard to do.

I wonder if the immense poverty in most Muslim lands has something to do with this feeling that the only joy in life can come from a faith based death......
