[quote="Azdgari"]The majority do not believe that. The average Palestinian is more concerned with providing for their family than killing Americans, the same way the average German was not a genocidal Jew-hater. That's what radicalism is: a minority. And when the everyman is dragged into it, it's rarely ideological. When your family is starving and your local Al Qaeda cell offers you some money to fire pot shots at an American base, is that radical idealism or people doing what they need to?
You do realize the separation between Al Qaeda and the Taliban and Palestinian/Afghani civilians, correct?[/quote]
Watch "The Wave", based on a real life experiment that worked. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1063669/
The majority in fact does believe that. It's not a coincidence that the muslim brotherhood is taking over Egypt and Libya now. People actually vote for this nonsense. Rich, poor, everyone. The taliban does not provide homes and neither does al-qaeda. This is radical idealism, and even the moderate version of this ideology is in a westen sense radical.
Watch that movie, read the study. The average German was in fact a radical jew-hater, Hitler turned them into jew haters, and this movie shows exactly how it works. It is a reconstruction of an experiment performed on a random group of people who were slowly being converted into nazi-like creatures without even realising it.
