America’s home grown terrorist have access to good education. So I don’t buy that one and I don’t really buy the economic link.
I believe terrorism has its roots in fundamentalist religion. Any fundamentalist religion.
Currently most of us are thinking terrorist in connection with the middle east but lets be honest most terrorist attacks do not cross borders. Think of Oklahoma city and the columbine shootings and the Michigan militia. Look at what the people of Ireland have been doing to each other over generations. [/QUOTE]Ill agree that terrorism is NOT an issue of education, its an issue of religion. Its been said that more education is the key...well just what kind of education are we talking about here? And whos going to teach it? If your thinking that your going to teach a middle eastern country (ya Im gonna stick with those guys just for examples sake)that peace is a better way...good luck. Consider just for a second who we are talking about..a people who have had thier religions for longer than christianity has existed. Countries with history that goes back thousands of years. There is nothing that you can say that they want to listen to. These folks have never experienced peace,(well ok sporadically) or luxury or any sort of democratic society. Their entire society and lives revolve around religion and have for longer than North America has been populated by white folks. THEY DO NOT KNOW ANY DIFFERANT! Its hard to get someone exited about something they cant even visualize. Great Im ranting here. As for Columbine and Oklahoma City I wouldnt call that terrorism just some Screwed up ppl. Yes they were violent rampages but they had there own reasoning behind them they werent doing it "to clense the world of infidels"
