I also think that you are mischaracterizing people's arguments when you write "saying poor people are easy to control"... That may be true, but terrorism would indicate that poor people are hard to control after a certain point is reached.
It sort of seems like you believe terrorists are just born assholes. I think there is more to it and poverty and repression (or some similar lack of opportunity) are exacerbating factors. I'd think conservatives would like this point of view since it would suggest that economic and political reform would provide a release to this pressure that currently vents through violence.

No they are taught to be assholes. Taught by their clerics, taught by their schools, taught by their asshohle parents, taught by their asshole governments, and printed in their asshole press. Its the
CULTURE that creates these violent assholes. Thats why this is so dangerous. This isn't the hungry fighting for bread and a fair deal in life, this is a culture who's ultimate world goal is a golbal islamic state. There is NO room for tolerance in their world view, and you accept your enemies only as long as you have to. It is a religion that has been spread by the sword in multiple invasions for the last 1500 years, and their mindset has not changed from that of 1500 years ago, if anything it has gotten far more hardlined.
