I agree with much of what the above post has said. Poverty and powerlessness has little to do with it. SE Asians (except the mohammedian Filipinos, Malays and Indonesians) are hit with horrible poverty and do not blow themselves up or kill innocent civilians, cut off heads in videos, throw acid on women because they cannot afford a pepsi.
The issue with the ME is a cultural issue, which religion is a major factor but not the sole factor.
