re: #337 kirkspencer

I am not just talking about suicide bombers. Which community do you think is going to be more vulnerable to the preaching of extremists?

1) a stable community where people have access to decent housing, quality food, clean water, proper healthcare and education, along with a sense of feeling life has some promise

or

2)grinding poverty, no shot at a stable future, being lucky if you are educated enough to be literate and living in a place that is torn apart repeatedly by war where you know there is really no hope of anything getting better.

I get that there will be middle class and rich kids who end up being leaders or followers of terrorist groups, but education is a key to reducing the numbers of people who will fall into the more extreme groups to be part of something, anything that’s better than what is before them.
