Yeah, the poor are always too busy trying to keep a roof over their head and food in their stomachs to care one whit about ideological BS. Ideological BS always comes from people who are well off enough to have time to spend on that kind of nonsense.

In reply to Badtux. The 'cannon fodder' is always poor, but the leaders are always well-off and well-educated. Young idealists can be conned into acts of 'martyrdom', but most do it to provide for their families.

Most Palestinian terrorists are poor. But that’s because their family gets a large bounty from the actual terrorists if the sad sack angry kid with no job and no hope dons a suicide vest and goes and blows himself up at some Israeli checkpoint. Now that I think about it, this also describes most of ISIS, most of ISIS is not true believers, most ISIS fighters are people who’ve been told that a) they get paid if they fight for ISIS, and b) if they don’t fight for ISIS, they and all their family will be killed. The “true believers” use their money to avoid having to get their own hands dirty.
