The uneducated turning to extremism makes sense. But how do you figure they talked the Mohammed Attas into self destruction. Those folks from 9-11 were rich & well educated. : (
Few if any Moslems in the US are pro US , educated or not ...
They were also brain washed. By education I mean a Western style education with something else offered than the Koran. Bin Laden is well educated he is also a religious nut. We have our own home grown varieties of that here. One can have an education and still be involved in a cult. One does not exclude the other. The ones who are used the most by the educated fundamentalists are those educated in madrassas (sp?) with no exposure to anything out their narrow world. I also think they intentionally keep these people poor because they can feed on there resentment. Witness the adoration of Arafat by the poor people there. They are willing to over look the fact he ripped them off. It's all his wife's fault in their minds. That fits perfectly with the Muslim fundamentalist belief that all women are evil. They can't see out side their narrow view because they do not even know another view exists. Anything not taught by their leaders is automatically evil.
