[QUOTE="HDRKID, post: 98315, member: 43"] Most of us are told that religious fanatics are hopeless primitive savages. Also, we are told that they are poor ignorant peasants. In fact, all we need to do is educate these sad unfortunates and they will become productive members of our society, but what does the data tell us? TAKEN FROM [url="http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/19/opinion/bergen-terrorism-root-causes/index.html"]Nonsense about terrorism's 'root causes' - CNN.com[/url] [I]Similarly, in his important 2004 book "Understanding Terror Networks," psychiatrist Marc Sageman, a former CIA case officer, examined the backgrounds of 172 militants who were part of al Qaeda or a similar group. Just under half were professionals; two-thirds were either middle or upper class and had gone to college; indeed, several had doctorates. In a 2006 study, Swati Pandey and this author examined the educational background of 79 terrorists responsible for five of the worst anti-Western terrorist attacks of the modern era -- the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998, the 9/11 attacks, the Bali nightclub bombings in 2002, and the London bombings on July 7, 2005. We found that more than half of the terrorists had attended college, making them as well-educated as the average American. Two of our sample had doctoral degrees, and two others had begun working toward their doctorates. None of them had attended a madrassa. [/I] [/QUOTE]
