Statistically I'm pretty sure he's right, as for his reasons, I'm not sure I agree. I think it has a lot more to do with the influence of religion and the fundamentalist clerics who propogate that. There have been Christians* who've done the same things, but what one fundamentalist church here teaches, it's so much more prevalent there. Combine that with socioeconomic oppression and you've got people who will die, not because they aren't going to have wives (polygyny isn't that common) but because their family gets $$ and their family already has an heir.

I highly doubt many suicide bombers blow themselves up just because they can't get any in this life.

*Christianity does say martyrs go to heaven, it's all in the interpretation of that. Just because it doesn't involve virgins or white raisins or whatever doesn't mean that people won't die for their faith, even if it's a twisted version of the faith.
