Yes. The US gave all these terrorists weapons. There's your external factor.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Poverty and war definitely contribute to people becoming caught up in any ideology which offers reward for their suffering and justification for their hatred of whoever is seemingly responsible for their struggle. That ideology is not limited to Islam, but radical Islam being inherently violent and it's followers uneducated and often illiterate makes it that much more compelling.

There's one. Former DIA. It's all in declassified documents. The US armed certain groups to push the odd in the direction they wanted, knowing that there could be consequences, such as ISIS.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Terrorists are more likely to be well-educated and middle-class or wealthy; there's no link between poverty and education and terrorism.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I'd say yes, but those factors don't play in nearly as much as people think they do.

This topic has been researched quite thoroughly, and many scholars fall on the same conclusions.

http://econ.ucsd.edu/~elib/rex.pdf

http://www.radicalisationresearch.org/guides/francis-2012-causes-2/

These are just two sources, but if you read through them and check their sources, you can find even more background.

External factors play a role in everything- nobody disputes that much.

The question is which factors and what roles.
Exactly. No one is born a religious extremist. Family upbringing is probably a factor. The media and Internet allow for more exposure to varying degrees of individual religions.
