The fallacy of accounting for violent behavior due to social conditions is demonstrated in the ghetto, because many who are there do not engage in predatory behavior. Similarly, those who are poor, oppressed, and religious do not usually become terrorists, and many terrorists are not particularly poor or oppressed. Terrorism is a species of sociopathic behavior, ordinarily. It is as if we take predatory teenagers from the ghetto and enlist them as "freedom fighters". Instead of killing other kids for sneakers, they are blowing up school buses. That is why there is a limit to how much our behavior enhances recruitment, because only a rather low percentage of persons have the psychological makeup to become terrorists.
