What prospects do terrorists deserve?

#3 They are poorer peoples on earth who have never resorted to killing themselves. If you commit suicide and look to take people down with you, that's about you, not society. The drugs guy is on to something...

#4 but the causes lie in the lack of prospects

There is truth to that. When you examine all of your options and you believe you have none, it must be a scary place to be. Militant Islam is recruiting the hopless and providing them only with death as a means to live. We should, at the very least, provide the Palestinians the same comfort that we allow for our own down and out who have lost hope for tomorrow: mind altering drugs and alcohol.

#6 I sure hope this terrorist factory gets killed before she produces any more.

I dunno about the drugs guy; Islam is the PCP of the masses.

#8 "It's true we have here a reservoir of terrorists, but the causes lie in the lack of prospects, the idleness that is killing these young people," he said.

So now the "root cause" of terrorism is poverty, eh? So perhaps if the Saudis would spread their oil wealth to the Arabic masses, terrorism would cease to exist... oh, wait, the wealthy Saudi sheiks and bin Laden types are the ones bankrolling terrorism.

Never mind.

#9 but the causes lie in the lack of prospects

More "root cause" bullshit on a stick. Careful profiling of many bomb vest murderers reveals that they come from the middle class, if not well-to-do families. Look at al Qaeda's leadership. Engineers, doctors and the like.

We should, at the very least, provide the Palestinians the same comfort that we allow for our own down and out who have lost hope for tomorrow: mind altering drugs and alcohol.

Ain't gonna work, AT1904. Drugs and alcohol are prohibited by the Koran. Any mind altering is done by Islam's programmers, the imams. Start killing them if you want things to improve. Notice how you NEVER hear about the children of an imam strapping on bomb vests? Notice how you NEVER read about an imam who martyrs himself? Islam is a form of murderous eliteism that ensconces a select group of thugs while thousands of others are made to believe it is Allah's will that they should live in abject poverty. Islam's religious leaders actually fear material success. They view the comforts of financial security as mitigating any sense of struggle and thereby diverting Muslim attention from jihad.

Moreover, Islam proscribes the collection of interest on loans as usury. This stifles any local or foreign investment and crushes enterprenural ventures before they start. If you want to blame terrorism on "lack of prospects", be sure to understand why Islam assures there will be none. Colonial Spain's rigid Catholic doctrine likewise prohibited interest on loans and look what sort of a European economic powerhouse it is today.

If you want to trace any role that poverty plays as a "root cause" of terrorism, be sure to track its bloody paw prints all the way back to the real source: Namely, the local mosque.

The ROOT CAUSE of Muslim terrorism is ISLAM. Period. End of story. Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves or trying to mislead others. The Koran specifically exhorts its followers to commit terrorist acts against Infidels. What more needs to be said?
