    If by "contributing factor" you mean "inversely correlated," you're making sense.https://twitter.com/RyanPhillips_3/status/749997246767304704 …

    poverty is not the only driver. But it certainly can be a contributing factor.

        A simple question: what have the most terrorists today in common? Race, education, wealth, country, language? Or religion?

        I'd say literacy also inverse factor.more likely a muslim reads the quran or hadith,greater the likelihood of terrorist belief

        Most terrorists across a wide range of groups are neither poor, drug addicts nor do they suffer from mental disease or defect.

        I half agree. I would have to say that if anything IS mental illness, it’s killing people in the name of religion.

        if the creator of the universe wants you to kill or burn in hell, not doing it is a mental illness.

        I mean many terrorists are poor, and extreme poverty (joined with many other factors) can lead to extremism.

        @RyanPhillips_3 I see it as an existential angst crisis as traditional/religious cultures collide with secular modern ones.

        this is a good point. Ontological uncertainty could be an issue with extremists.

        I even have a pet hypothesis that conservative Muslims feel less alienated in religious USA vs. secular Europe

        "contributing factor" is key here. Notice I didn't say poverty causes terrorism.

        while I think it may sometimes be a contributing factor, I don't think it's always a factor that's prevalent.
