Those who have a means and a strong belief will find a way to exploit those without means. Much as it is in this country. You notice it isn't the rich that become bomb fodder, in the mideast or here. Poverty leads to desperation, desperation can be exploited, particulary by religions.

They are motivated by hate inducing propaganda. Note last year, a Saudi government run newspaper featured a story that reported that during Passover jews eat gentiles. Bake em up and serve at the dinner table...that's what Saudis were told, the paper even quoted a university professor.. Were German's starving when they marched all over Europe in WWII? Germans were induced to be murderous wretches because of propaganda. Many Germans believed jews were trying to destory germany and that the country was surrounded by enemies, hence the march into Poland, checkoslovakia, France, etc. The solution is an honest and free press that gives both sides of a story, not a government controlled press that tries to shape the minds of its people into believing in nonexistant threats.
