Terrorism is really about people who are brainwashed, has nothing to do with poverty and illiteracy. We dont find poor illiterate people becoming terrorists necessarily, do we? On the contrary, most of the activities have been funded by the well-to-do.

Of course they are all brain washed. Generally it is seen, people who do the "real action" in any terrorist organizations are the ones who are very poor, and not educated. The leadership of these organizations is usually in the hands of well to do people.

All the 9/11 culprits were educated and came from affluent Saudi families.

This proves their is no relationship with poverty and terrorism.

Terrorism is result of failure of muslim countries to achieve Utopia they think Islam should bring them..for that failure they are blaming west and other non-muslim countries. They think by bringing them down they will go up and achieve Islamic Utopia

Most the 9/11 attackers were from the Saudi but at least two of them were non-Saudis. Mohmd Atta the ring leader was from Egypt and there was one guy last name 'jara' or something was from Lebanon. All of these attackers were fairly well to do. The Lebanese guy was very well off - i saw in a tele documentary he was given a Marcedeze by his father on his birthday. They were very observing muslims - praying five times a day and all that stuff and utterly devout. Poverty or frustration had no role to play in probably the biggest terror attack ever. They were anti-West specially ani American and wanted to teach America a lesson. I guess we will never understand their psyche.
