Places where most of the population are well-educated (in a relatively good system) and exposed to foreign cultures as well as their own don't tend to have problems with terrorism.

Islam was on its way to evolution, but again, the Wahhabis killed that chance and it's their fault that things are the way they are. There were armies of progressive, educated people raised to fight against the fundamentalists who now control the religion from Saudi Arabia. Too bad the fundies won out.

The 9/11 terrorists were better educated and had better career paths (if they so chose) than 90% people on CP pecking at their computers.

Terrorists tend to be extremely well educated, well above average intelligence, extremely bigoted, and well supported by governments. The lackeys they get to blow themselves up tend to be poor and poorly educated. Usually.

Reading into the mind of a terrorist

Jerrold Post, a professor of psychology at George Washington University, has not analyzed the doomsday text. But he has delved into the mind-set of suicide terrorists by interviewing dozens of their handlers - those who selected and prepared Palestinian suicide terrorists.
His research has led him to draw a sharp distinction between Palestinian suicide bombers and the 9/11 hijackers, whose psychology "shatters the profile," he says in a phone interview.
The Palestinian bombers are usually young men and women, carefully picked, brainwashed by handlers, and then watched each step of the way until they carry out their mission.
But the 9/11 hijackers were "fully formed, well-educated adults, [and] true believers," Dr. Post says. This enabled them to live among Americans for years without straying from their original convictions and determination.


What are these guys' excuse?
North Carolina Terrorist cell

Reporting from Washington - Federal authorities in North Carolina on Monday arrested seven men who they said had trained with high-powered weapons as part of a terrorist conspiracy to wage an Islamic holy war overseas.

The men -- including a father who, authorities said, trained in jihad camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and his two sons -- sought to provide material support to terrorists and to murder, kidnap, maim and injure people overseas, according to a seven-count federal indictment. The indictment did not allege that the group was plotting attacks on U.S. soil.

The Associated Press reported that Boyd, a drywall installer in Willow Spring, N.C., and his brother had been convicted of bank robbery in Pakistan in 1991 and of carrying identification showing they belonged to the radical Afghan guerrilla group Hezb-i-Islami.

Yes we should live and cringe in fear of Christian Fundamentalists.

One such person was Timothy McVeigh.McVeigh, angered by the Waco tragedy, decided to enact retribution to those he felt responsible -- the federal government, especially the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). In downtown Oklahoma City, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building held numerous federal agency offices, including those of the ATF.

McVeigh's actions were not driven by his Christian beliefs though he is continuously pointed out by cultural-relativists to show how "Christianity is no better" etc....
