I don't know how else to ask this question and it will be probably deleted based on the 20 year rule...but the problem is...that this has been going on since the beginning of recorded history. So since now, we are able to keep tap on the whole world basically within a second or two of events then I was wondering how is the frequency or "sudden rise" of current religious attacks in the middle east compares to the past? i.e the current suicide bombs in Baghdad etc. I mean something similar had to happen in the past but folks just didn't read about it. So does the human nature changes over the decades or does it stay stagnant in the past?
