Good post Calgary4Life.

Sometimes you don't even have to be disenfranchised. In the US, there was a publication called "Soldier of Fortune". It sometimes published classified ads suggesting that for money, the person who posted the advertisement will kill someone for you, a person of your choice.

Of course the magazine was sued when it actually could be proved the killings came from the ads in the magazine, and some lawsuits against them for that succeeded. The magazine no longer exists. People were killed as a result of these for-profit ads.

North America does not have the automatic moral high ground regardless of the predominate religions that exist here.

It doesn't necessarily have to be religion or even a destabilized area of the world, to commit senseless killings. It happens in North America every day as well.

But still, the religious angle probably propels some people further and creates this us-against-them mentality on both sides, so in that respect the Captain has a point. I do think there are larger interests at stake and those interests use their influence to achieve goals which include conflict.
