i acnt remember where i read the article or what it was even about but there was a mention of islamic extremists are mostly young males who are underemployed, underachieving, have a poor cultural background and who have a chip on their shoulder

basically the same type of people that become lone gunmen

this is wrong, they're not underachievers. Aum Shinrikyo was entirely peopled by high-achieving scientists, the kind of people who could make sarin gas but also the kind of people who would use it on a packed subway. Ayman al-Zawahiri was a respected medical doctor from a middle-class family. the lowest level of fighters in this latest jihadi campaign may be uneducated on the whole, but it is not ignorance that causes people to turn to terrorism and Islamic extremism

except aum shinrikyo was a cult and while im not an expert i dont think theyre very comprable to islamic militants??
