Recruits into the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group are better educated than their average countryman, contrary to popular belief, according to a new World Bank study.
Moreover, those offering to become suicide bombers ranked on average in the more educated group, said the newly released study titled “Economic and Social Inclusion to Prevent Violent Extremism”.
The study, which aimed to identify socio-economic traits that might explain why some are drawn to the Syria-based extremist group, made clear that poverty and deprivation were not at the root of support for the group.

Being nuckin futz is the only prerequisite.
Some of the 911 hijackers attended college in Germany and majored in Engineering.
The Left always tries to say that poverty is the cause of terrorism and crime.
Many of these nitwits come from middle-class backgrounds.
Clearly, there is something else going on here. Maybe someone should look at the courses these “educated” terrorists studied in college.
SJW nonsense, probably.
One man’s education is another man’s indoctrination.
Were they “educated” in a madrassa?
Islam is their reason.
Radiation is our answer to Islam.
Almost always in revolutions, ideology trumps income class. It’s the ideology folks, indoctrinated and indoctrinating ideologues. The leaders attempting to sway the more ignorant masses.

That is a testament to how far the education systems of the world are detached from Godly principle.
In more innocent days many of the upper education systems were subject to the Church’s guidance and were even founded by monastaries and parishes.
Today the education systems more and more pride themselves on an athiest, rejection of God’s guidance, much as Satan coaxed Eve in the garden of Eden to partake of the fruit
Genesis chapter 3: “[4] And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death. [5] For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.”
...rather than remaining obedient to God.
Today the education systems tend more than ever to be hotbeds of liberalism rather than traditionalism. Saint Paul the apostle wrote in chapter 1 of his Epistle to the Romans,
“[21] Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. [23] And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things. [24] Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
Thus it is not perplexing that warped minds are at home if not produced in many of the higher education systems.
(Just look at all the lawyers in “our” present administration, as another example.)
That one actually made me laugh. It’s like comparing a person with an IQ of 65 to one with an IQ of 50; OK, one can tie his shoes without instructions... Your point?
