#3 "a nice house keeps you from blowing people up. "

well it doesnt if you live in Saudi and are exposed to the most intense terror incitement in the world, and it doesnt if you live in Europe and feel humiliated by the weakness of the muslim world. This doesnt rule out that in some specific locales poverty, unemployment and living conditions play a role. Evidently the Moroccans think it does play a role there. They are not relying ONLY on that however, but seem to be vigourously arresting people. Lets hope the 35 mentioned above arent going to be released anytime soon, and WILL be pressed for all possible intell.
