I only know of one religion whose followers behave like that.
I think I know a lot of the followers of said religion who
wouldn't do it either, but there's an overwhelmingly large number

Are you saying that an "overwhelmingly large number" of people
(presumably you mean Moslems) are prepared to blow themselves up?
If that is what you meant, would you like an opportunity to rethink
that statement? Because it is clearly nonsensical.
Just how is it nonsensical to say that a lot of Moslems have blown
themselves up on purpose?
You didn't say "a lot"; you said "an overwhelmingly large number".
Even "a lot" is arguable, given the number of Moslems in the world,
but "an overwhelmingly large number" is nonsensical. In fact, absurd.
I know what I said the first time.
I decided to say it a different way the second time since you apparently
didn't understand it the first time.
Seems you still don't. I said nothing about the number relative to how
many Moslems there are, either time.
But here's another way to look at "relative" numbers -- there are still
more people in the world who aren't Moslem than people who are, and yet
the suicide-bombers (i.e., people blowing themselves up on purpose in
order to kill other people in the process) are just about all of them
Moslem.
