Conference Discusses Sociologist's Conclusion that Religiosity, Not Education or Poverty, Causes Suicide Terrorism

In a new study, sociologist Scott Atran has objectively examined the claims that the chief causes of suicide bombings in the Middle East are purely secular and mundane, namely, lack of education, and lack of economic opportunity [1]. His results are somewhat surprising.

Starting as far back as the early 80s, Atran has tracked available intelligence dossiers on the perpetrators of suicide bombings, specifically on known biographical information of those individuals. We who have been bombarded by this idea from the religiously moderate, cultural relativist American government, now have empirical data to the contrary. George W. Bush, a confessed and in fact rapturous puppet of theism, got up on his stage the day after 9/11 and made it very clear that he was apologizing sincerely for the masterwork of militant Islam. Poverty and lack of opportunity, not God, are the culprits.

I will keep you in suspense no longer. Without further ado, here are the results of Atran's study.

Only 29% of suicide bombers in the last 25 years qualified as "poor," even by the generous standards of Western demographics. A whopping 57% were college-educated, compared to the abysmal 15% rate of college education as a median of the demographic data of the populations from which nearly all suicide bombers came.

Atran cites certain, notable examples such as the September 11th bombers who, for all of the blindly populist, cultural relativist lies of our dangerously theist president, were not dredged up from the bottom of Iraqi society: none were from Iraq, none had known any level of political oppression in their lives, and most surprisingly, all were college-educated. Bin Laden himself, for example, is a member of one of the wealthiest families in Central Asia, and is college educated.
