I never said that all suicide bombers are Muslim, any more than I would
say that all Muslims are suicide bombers. The absence of such an
absolute inclusion, however, does not entail that an extremist exegesis
of the religion of Islam is not deeply implicated in the Palestinian
suicide bomb culture and accepted by a significant percentage of
Palestinians; it most irrefutably is. As far as logic is concerned, I
statements (Some A is/are B) are just as Aristotelianly logical as A
statements (All A is/are B). BTEW, the other two varieties are E
statements (No A is/are B) and O statements (Some A is/are not B).
These complete the Aristotelian logical square.
