If there is any obvious link or discriminator but this link tying the bad guys together is based on race (other than white), religion (Other than Christian), national origin (Other than American) you may NOT connect the dots because that's unethical and unamerican.
If you go to W. Texas you'll find many small towns that are dirt poor. Yet you don't lock homes or trucks and people “do” have guns on racks in their vehicles. Poor equals crime? There are people who are POW, they are starving and they don't steal food from their comrades........etc.
It's pure rationalization to associate crime with poverty.
What I was saying was that poverty is NOT the reason they flew those planes into the Twin Towers, Pentagon or Somerset Co., PA. This doofus that tried to bring down NW 253 on Christmas Day was from a wealthy family, just like Obama ooops I mean Osama bin Laden. We haven’t heard from the Chechens here yet; they’re Caucasian from the Caucasus and fanatic moslems. The common thread is islam, not poverty.
