Default Re: Causes of Terrorism

[ QUOTE ]

"About 25 percent of all Muslims with higher-than-average incomes supported the Sept. 11 attacks -- slightly more than those who had below-average incomes or were poor. Among high school or college graduates, 44 percent held extremist views, compared with 38 percent of less-educated Muslims. And the unemployed were no more likely to back terrorism than those who worked full time, according to the poll of 8,000 Muslims in October."


[/ QUOTE ] But most of the people actually recruited to these terrorist 'training camps' are poor. The wealthier people might support it but they are far less likely to join these organizations because of opportunity cost: they actually have something to lose on earth.
