I haven't looked into the details of any of them, and doubt you are familiar with many. I do know that many of the terrorists involved in past attacks overseas grew up in a position of relative privilege and with a good education. It is Islam that causes them to become terrorists, not poverty.
I'd suggest wealth has little to do with it, both FD and G. I'd suggest it is feelings of alienation. Young people, feeling rejected by their families and the wider, non-Muslim community, fitting into neither. Their families feel they are not Muslim enough, the wider community too Muslim. Radical Islam offers them shelter, certainty and a feeling of belonging and community, just as any youth gang does. We've seen similar patterns in other immigrant communities when their kids have been drawn to youth gangs. The major difference is that whereas non-Muslim youth gangs offer vicarious excitement through minor crime and perhaps drug dealing, radical Islam offers them excitement through the possibility of Martyrdom.
FD you and your ilk are part of the problem, not the solution. You help and reject and alienate Muslims because of your prejudice and persecution. You help drive them into the arms of the radicals.
this is unmitigated crap.
they are too muslim for the wider Australian community - so they become even more muslim, even more f*ked in the head. And we drive them to it because we would like them, instead, to assimilate to us. So now they are TOO muslim even for their own families. But Islam has nothing to do with it, it’s my fault for saying they should turn their backs on Islam completely. THAT makes them want to kill and die for Islam. I reject a creed that turns people into suicidal and homicidal bastards but that’s worse in Brain’s eyes than actually being those murdering bastards.
You are completely unmoored, Brain.
