Which leads to a follow-up question. How culpable (assuming suicide bombers are wrong in their understanding of the Koran) are Islamic Religious leaders in not condemning these acts? To me they are perhaps more culpable in their acts of omission - they should know better what is in the heart of Allah, yet remain silent.

Probably as culpaple than any other religious authority which remained or remain silent when atrocities were made in their names, or condoned injustices, throughout history. Dont get me wrong, it still goes on.

I agree. I am mostly concerned here with the “… in their names…” part. (The “…condoning injustices…” seems a way bigger and more complex an issue, especially given the notion that who really knows who is “right“ anymore in most conflicts. Who ever really has all the true information nowadays?)
