I highly recommend Amir Taheri’s article (linked above).
Not mentioned often is enough is the terrorist’s desire for revenge.
The terrorist kills because he cannot compete with his adversaries…With the advent of globalisation, Islamist terrorism is now able to strike beyond the frontiers of the Muslim world…The terrorist knows that he is incapable of building an alternative civilisation capable of competing with the one he despises. So he tries to destroy what becomes the cause of his humiliation.
