#5 Now how the hell are they gonna memorize the Koran???

It should be plain by now that Islamic cultures, atop their ::cough:: technological pinnacles ::cough::, do not rely heavily upon literacy. Probably 99% of the Koran is taught through oral tradition and rote memorization.

It takes no great leap of imagination to consider how a young boy who has, for all his short young life, been obliged to parrot back the words of his imam might also take that role model's word about strapping on a Semtex vest.

Lowest literacy ... highest violence. Who'da thunk it.
