Poverty does not make people terrorists, but terrorists can exploit the frustration it creates and use it as a breeding-ground for violent ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poverty does not cause violence and terrorism. Lack of education does not cause terrorism.
There are no automatic links between poverty and terrorism. Among millions of poor people in the world, only a few turn to terrorism.
It is development, not poverty, that causes upheaval and terrorism.
The diagnosis that poverty, lack of education, or lack of opportunities have much to do with terrorism requires a fundamentally optimistic view of human nature. This diagnosis leads to the prognosis that all we need to do to solve the terrorism problem is to create societies that are less poor, better educated and have more opportunities.
Poverty doesn't imply necessarily violence.
What causes terrorism is disrespect, a lack of justice, and poverty.
I think food and education will help stem the poverty of the young people who are being drawn into terrorism every day.
I think that a lot of terrorists have been middle class and, more surprisingly, many of them have been people who were not directly affected by the things they're angry about.
Most terrorists are people deeply concerned by what they see as social, political, or religious injustice and hypocrisy, and the immediate grounds for their terrorism is often retaliation for an action of the United States.
Some people are more terrorist than others.
