#1 Ibernian notes links a column in which they think 7 dopes splodied. They can ID 4, but not the other 3.

Some are getting it, from an article John posted:

..."Reality also frequently dismantles the image of the Islamic terrorist as a hopeless pariah. Just look at the list of suspects from 3/11: the boss of the group, the sadly notorious Tunisian, had been at the university, like another of those the police are looking for; one of those in jail has a degree in chemistry; another is the owner of a phone shop; "El Chino" and his family had a clothing wholesale business, as did other suspects now in jail. This profile does not correspond to that of unfortunate individuals, just the opposite of the many thousands of immigrants, whether Muslims or not, who have to make their own way every day working at the hardest and worst-paid jobs without for one moment thinking of violence.

If we're looking for the causes, we should look at what causes the fanaticism which moves all terrorists and, in particular, the Islamist ones. Probably sectarian indoctrination is a lot more important than the intervention in Iraq. When we look for the roots of this situation, we should pay attention to Professor Fernando Reinares, an expert in the study of violence: "It's important not to confuse causes with pretexts." For now we know a lot about the pretexts but very little about the causes."

#2 pay me $3 million dollars and I'll tell you what causes it. It's spoiled children who believe they are entitled to privilige, but either can't make it or don't feel they should have to work within the existing system to achieve the position in life they feel they deserve. So rather than attempt and fail, they create their own little world in which they are "the man".

Usually they only command a little band of followers, but every now and then, the stars align and you get a bin Laden.

#3 If you want to look at causes, look to mainly Saudi money. They are the ones that financed Binny, the madrassas, the Charities from Hellâ¢, the enablers of aimless youth in a corrupt society.

I hope that the Spanish finally get a clue. It seems that once the terrorists get on step, they don't stop. Appeasement will not work.

Until we dry up the Saudi money stream, we are treating the symptoms and not the disease.
