Would you say the people who are engaging in deep thought and reflection are blowing up buses and machine-gunning innocent folks? I certainly wouldn't but they would consider it so, for sure. My point was that people who don't take their religion particularly seriously won't blow themselves and others up for it.

Understood, although not necessarily agreed totally with.
There has been some discussion over the past several years that disconnects alQaeda from islam and into a truly different sort of organization along the lines of the Aum movement in Japan. They were the folks who did some pretty nasty things, including the release of Sarin in the Tokyo subway. They were quite successful in recruiting highly educated, affluent, members of the military and police. Some 28,000K + members.
