People need to think gang mentality and I don't mean just an ordinary group of people, think of it as an actualy gang like MS-13, Bloods, Crips, Folk Nation, whatever suits your fancy.
People join these gangs because they feel they need a place to belong and be around people like them for reasons such as socio economic factors, foreign land, or protection.
Lets look at the middle east. Generally poor countries where a majority of the people cannot read or write, let alone have jobs. They need to survive, provide for their families, and overall just find a reason to keep on living. Enter Islamic Extremism. They tell these ignorant (not in a bad way just not very knowledgable) easily influenced individuals that all of their problems are because of a different government or group of people that opress them and distort their way of life. When in actuality the extremists are opressing their own people beating, torturing, killing people that don't follow what they want in their beliefs. The promise the individual that if they rise up sacrafice themselves for the "cause" that they will be rewarded in the after life and their families will be compensated hansomely.
Well, his family needs to live and he can't provide for them, he's seen video of foreign military kill these so called "freedom fighters", so they must be evil. He sees on state controled tv, countries mocking his religion that he "now" believes so heavily in. He sees Imams preaching brimstone and fire and how all that do not support thier religion are infidels. Now he believes what he was told was true and off he goes to become patte.
A lot of extremism is because these people have nothing to do. No jobs, no money, no health care and they believe these morons that are so caught up their own agendas are correct.
If an infrastructure was built by these so called "goverments" that reduced poverty, increased economic wealth, equal rights, and provided people something else to do, then to shoot guns in the air, burn flags, and burn down buildings every other day, a lot of this crap would cease to exist.
