Reply #280: The people who fund terrorists are not poor.

[Andromeda]

Many Muslims are poor but that in itself is not at the root of the problem.

The Madrases funded by Saudi Arabia indoctrinates the children, teaching them to hate the West, i.e. Americans and Israel. The manifestation of this hate takes the form of terrorism and many Mosques also funded by the Saudi's are recruiting sites for terrorists.

Radical Christian fundies are trying to force their agenda onto the schools and the government but they don't resort to the same kind physical violence the radical Islamics do. The jihadists kidnap people and cut off their heads, fly airplanes into buildings, blow up embassies and strap plastic explosives around their waists and blow up buses full of school children.

The Christian fundies, as horrendously annoying as they are, aren't violent, with the exception of a few violent individuals who have blown up Planned Parenthood clinics. These individuals are in the minority and have a lot of opposition from mainstream Americans.
