So what makes engineers more likely to become terrorists?

This poorly researched article assumes cause and effect---that Muslim males become engineers before they become radical jihadists. Wouldn't it be just as likely that Muslim males become radical jihadist before choosing a career as engineers? Because the technical background is useful to their cause?

Regardless, this is another piece of the pattern we ought to be profiling. - Young single Muslim men, not born in America, who have technical or medical backgrounds and who select window seats above the fuel tanks of airplanes.

"this poorly researched article?"

I provided a link to the journal paper this article is about . . . in order for the article itself to be "poorly researched," you'd have to demonstrate that it misrepresents the journal paper.

If you want to demonstrate that the journal paper is "poorly researched," you probably should take more than 20 minutes to read it before you compose your reply.
