The Logic and Strategy of Suicide Terrorism

[Hax]

but I would argue the vast majority in the Middle East and Indonesia (and possibly even Europe) have views, supported by both the Koran and the religious establishment, about how society should function that are contrary to 21st century norms and that do contribute to the incitement to radicalization in a small minority.

The Middle East? Where?

Saudi Arabia? Yes.
Syria? No.
Lebanon? No.
Jordan? No.
Egypt? Perhaps.
Iran? Not anymore.
Iraq? Perhaps.

In all these countries, especially in the cities (as Rhyfelwyr) pointed out, Muslims are way more secularised than we (like to) think.

Half true, half false hax... Muslims are now partly secularized, but due to their lack of central authority, any kind of movement that hope to gain an authority will always get huge response... no matter how wrong... because all the muslims have irrational fear of hell

Hah, that's exactly what [famous muslim] once said back in the [x]'th century.

Oh is it now, Sasaki?

I've been reading the koran, and verse 25-12 in wahabist interpretation clearly proves you wrong.

Unlike Christians, Jews and Buddhists.

Tahir al-Sulami, late 11th century. He was largely ignored when he tried to convince the Muslims to wage war against the Christians in the Holy Land, however.

From suicide terrorism we have drifted into a discussion of Islam. As there appears to be another thread actually titled along those lines, this one may now take a nap.
