Just stop for a minute and think about what you're suggesting here. Do you really think this makes sense? The other people that have been oppressed by colonialism would be doing precisely the same things to their colonial oppressors as jihadists supposedly are, if only oil existed where they are? That's what best explains the difference in behaviour?
