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

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

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....
what excuses? I was talking about the 'lackeys they get to blow themselves up'. This is a discussion on Islamist terrorism, I thought, not 9/11.

I'm speaking in general terms, not about something of the massive scale of 9/11.

I never suggested there was any sort of 'excuse' for such vile, evil behavior.
