| 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. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: U-M News Service Subject: Michigan Today NewsE - June 2005 UofM News If you have trouble reading this email please visit: http://www.umich.edu/NewsE/ June 2005 ... 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 U-M Museum of Art.)
