Your lack of understanding of who your real enemies are is astounding.
Neither wealth nor education are a guarantee that a person will not get involved in international terrorism. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. The most dangerous international terrorists have a high education and are reasonably to extremely wealthy. Osama Bin Laden ring a bell? Also, many of the 9/11 perpetrators came from well-off families. The underwear bomber comes from a rich Nigerian family. How do you explain this, genius? According to your theory, these guys should be praising Allah for their many pecuniary blessings and never, ever have an evil thought cross their minds.
That remark was a tongue-in-cheek. I kinda dispelled, the myth of terrorism because of poverty a couple of pages ago *I believe it was on this thread*
Obviously, the West has evolved quite a bit and the Arabs were only recently dragged into the modern world and for the sake of the good Muslims, you might know, is that there is a reformation that leads to an evolution in Islam and the rise of moderates in the mainstream.
How likely is such an Islamic reformation?
