• Does terrorism breed in an environment of dire
  poverty as is now quite prevalent in Pakistan? Or is it more likely
  to take hold in an environment of dashed expectations and limited
  opportunity of economic success for not only the common man, but
  the educated as well—an environment that is also felt by
  many Pakistanis. Or is terrorism simply a reflection of militant
  Islam stemming from the rapid expansion of the madrassahs or religious
  schools? (
• As for the underlying causes of terrorism, initial post-9/11
  speculation focused on poverty and low educational attainment
  as critical elements. With time and more rigorous research a different
  picture has emerged.
• Instead of viewing terrorism as a direct response to low market
  opportunities or ignorance, they suggest terrorism is a response
  to political conditions and long-standing feelings (either perceived
  or real) of indignity and frustration.
