Terrorists prefer educated and wealthy recruits
« on: May 24, 2013, 12:36:05 pm »
So if you typed in google "terrorism poor uneducated" you get some results bashing liberals about how they are wrong in their assumptions that the poor and uneducated are likely to be duped into performing acts of terrorism.

Thankfully I found this fairly neutral source about the subject
http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2012/Threads-Within/homegrown-terrorism-socio-economics/EN/index.htm

So has this been discussed on the board before?

Interesting, but from that, would conservatives do a reversal and say poor yet educated people do terrorism or something? Maybe they'll say colleges are fostering future terrorists.

What this says to me? Liberals and conservatives alike are classist.

Terrorists prefer recruits who have the skills and resources to engage in acts of terrorism. Really, that's what it is.
