Study: Terrorists are motivated by Politics more than Religion

[abaris]

Other than religion or politics have you considered other motives. If you discount monetary and materialism, especially by those running the show, you may be fooling yourselves.

What about power? Having ultimate power over others is a very strong motivator for certain people. I'm not going to compare as others do, but Hitler was a millionaire. He got royalties from his books and from his picture on stamps and could have retired at any time. Saddam, also more than well off. Idi Amin, the Kims. The list could go on for several pages.

Money doesn't seem to be that much of an attraction to satisfy the real control freaks. And I certainly don't think, religion is either. It's just the tool being used. The ideology of choice, if you so wish. And every ideology is there for the grunts, not for the higher ups.
