John F. Burns is one of the top reporters at the New York Times, so we can trust this report of his about the Glasgow bombers: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/16/world/europe/17britain.html
This report is evidence in favor of my two-bit theory -- which heretofore I did not much believe in myself -- that lack of religion leads to crime. Scan the whole report asking yourself, "What religion did these men follow?" Your question will remain unanswered. There is no statement identifying their religion at all. This tragedy might have been averted if these faithless perpetrators had instead been devotees of a religion with time-consuming rituals that would not allow them the leisure to commit their crimes. -- Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Persons posting messages to not_honyaku assume all responsibility for their messages.
