| #4 OK, the first factor they're not paying any attention to: * Suppose you are going to try to blow up the world trade center. Who do you recruit, a mechanical engineer, a lawyer, or a wymyn's studies major? |

| #3 IMO, technical training---let alone attempts to compete in engineering, let alone sciences---reinforces Muslims' inferiority complex. |

| #2 Actually, Snowy Mountain, the article may be on to something. I have noticed the connection between Muslim Engineers/Scientists/Doctors and Jihad. I attribute it to the tension these profession have between the Scientific Method and the Koran. A Muslim engineer spends all day acting like the Scientific Method is superior, and then goes home and acts like the Koran and Hadiths are infalible and literaly true. Since the Koran makes claims that are contradicted by science, and the Hadiths claims that the earth is flat, the guy has a problem. It's kind of like taking a tab of acid every single day. It's no wonder they want to kill some one. |

| #1 And the phenomenon is not limited to Islamists--strong links to science and engineering studies have been found among neo-Nazis, too, and engineers disproportionately supported Hitler and Mussolini during World War II. I suspect this article is mostly bullshit. I was going to go through why I think the engineer thing might work for the jihadis, but if the article starts out saying "...and most of them were nazis and fascists in ww2..." it's a worthless piece of fermented sewerage to begin with. |
