Study: Terrorists are motivated by Politics more than Religion

[abaris]

I'm old enough to have witnessed Palestinian terror switch from leftist/nationalist to radical religious. It started to happen in 1987 with the first Intifada. Of course, it has some kind of political motivations. The only question that noone asks is, what are the superiors thinking? Are they using Djihad and religion merely as a tool or are they believing what their propaganda is about.

There's that old saying of Know thy enemy. You can shorten it to brains before brawns. This is what's sorely missing when combatting terrorism.
