The role that ideology plays in a terrorist or would-be terrorist's decision-making depends on the individual. It is inaccurate to say, as a blanket statement, that "ideology plays a 'huge' part in it." For a terrorist who was raised in an extremist ideology that preaches violence, then yes, ideology would probably play a large role in their behavior. However, for a terrorist was raised in a normal environment and that is just pissed at the world and needs a justification for his violence, ideology probably plays a much smaller role.ideology certainly plays a huge part in it, along with the overwhelming urge to correct a wrong, either actual or perceived with as many wrongs as it takes.
