Rusotto....go lower...far.lower.
Socioeconomic differences. You don't see many extremists in irst world counties, wonder why...

Extremism requires certain conditions, such as poverty and much of the povery in the middle east could have bene avoided if the US wasen't so interesting in playing games to its advangeage. As for afgansitan, leaving a country awash with arms after youv'e won another point on the ideological scoreboard probably didn't help.

Islamic extremism is the rallying point for this anti-first world anger. Thsoe reasons you listed down the bottom further my point, the real anger isin't about anyhting that petty, its about being made powerless fools by the first world. People don't liek when thier nation has its strings pulled.
