I agree too.
But if we don't understand why these things happen and don't even try to do anything to prevent these things from hapenning in the future, we really should be blamed for our own gross congenital stupidity.
After reading the book (thread title) I can see how Saudi Arabia reveals a pattern of behaviour that is consistent with the results that we see as 'terrorism' and which also has a lot in common with the 'social terrorism' that have begun appearing recently as school massacres in the US.
The basic fact is, in the present interpretation of the Koran, their 'god' had no intention whatsoever to label all men and mankind as vicious uncontrolled wild beasts (the rationale for the punishment of the female in the rape case), but the Saudi elites do.
In the same vein, it doesn't matter how much you trust in your own 'god', if you alienate, isolate, marginalise and disenfranchise your children in your education systems, you just get vicious sociopathic beasts and the same result.
One thing is for certain, continuing on the same road will hurt just as much internally as it will externally for all parties involved, if wild beasts are to continue the dialogue and not sentient humans.
Isn't it time we all took responsibility for our actions and stopped blaming animals?
