Subject: devotion to islam linked to support of terrorism
I'm not thinking about much else but thesis for next several weeks but
this just struck me as amusing.  My (cynical) take is that a study linked
religiosity to terrorism and then they decided that wasn't so PC so they
found some obscure religiosity metric that they failed to correlate with
terrorism and used that as the headline to make it sound like they found
the opposite of what they really found.  Or more likely the whole study's
just BS.  Ok, I'm going back in my hole now.

Personal devotion to Islam is unrelated to support for suicide bombing
among Palestinian Muslims, according to a study at the Institute for
Social Research. But the more often Muslims attended mosques, the more
likely they were to support suicide terrorism. (Islamic text image, from
