If the supposed moderate majority of moslem vilified the radical elements they'd be as relevant as Fred Phelps. Instead we see suicide bombers hailed as heros -openly, publicly- throughout the middle-east.Near total silence and inaction of moderate Muslims? Where are you getting that from?

Best you two can do is mock a misspelling?
I see no such thing. And the State Dept link I gave contradicts that. And you are aware that the Muslim world is much larger than the Middle East? You seem to be using the terms interchangebly.Instead we see suicide bombers hailed as heros -openly, publicly- throughout the middle-east.
You see no such thing? Really? Don't know what to say to you if you're that disconnected.I see no such thing. And the State Dept link I gave contradicts that. And you are aware that the Muslim world is much larger than the Middle East? You seem to be using the terms interchangebly.
I'm open to your evidence that in all 50 Muslim majority countries (I'll accept even half) suicide bombers are generally hailed as heroes. We can even limit it to the Middle East if you want: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Please show that throughout these countries suicide bombers are publically thought of as heroes. That claim does not fit with the anti-terrorist actions of most of those countries.You see no such thing? Really? Don't know what to say to you if you're that disconnected.
The official policies of the governments of those nations do not reflect the sentiment of the populace.I'm open to your evidence that in all 50 Muslim majority countries (I'll accept even half) suicide bombers are generally hailed as heroes.

Not in the mood for a search right now, what say you do a search supporting your claim that suicide bombers are NOT heros to the general mideast population, and I'll gladly retract my earlier statement. Quite frankly, I'd like to be shown to be wrong, it would help me sleep better at night.They do to a degree. Even a dictatorship can't completely ignore the will of the people without being overthrown. And like I said, I'm open to any evidence that supports your claim that the general populace throughout the middle east (if not the whole Islamic world) hails suicide bombers as heroes. But I'm not going to hold my breath for that evidence.

Excuse me? We BOTH made an assertion. As such the responsibility lies with us both equally. He asked me to prove my assertion, I asked him to prove his. And I didn't ask him to prove my assertion, I asked him to prove his. Tis an impasse friend, but you show your bias by pretending to be unaware of that.Isn't the responsibility upon you to prove your own statement correct? It's not anyone else's job to back up what you've said.
OK fine, did a quick search (try your own) punched suicide bomber poll middle-east & support into google, here's one from the first of 962,000 pages

7 in 10 palestinians support suicide bombers. Are you going to insist I find out about Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia etc now? Or are you suggesting the Palestinians are the rabid wild dogs of the middle east surrounded by touchy-feely cuddly-bunny loving neighbors?
