Most Muslims are not Arab, or living in caves. There are certainly millions of Muslim computer users, by now. In fact, I'd bet there are more than a million Muslim computer users in the US alone. Most Muslims, thank God, are not murderous fanatics or computer abusers. But it would be quite foolish to underestimate the capability of any large group, sufficiently motivated, to inflict massive damage. On Tue, Nov 19, 2002 at 07:40:14PM -0600, Stephen Sprunk wrote:
I'm not skeptical that millions of starving Arabs living in caves or being slaughtered by their dictators are going to find computers, connect to the Net (outlawed by their leaders), and attack us.
