    from what I've learned from COINTEL operations studies is that there is a threat profile ranking system that rates threat targets by what drives them. I can't remember the acronym that was used but it rated threats in sequence from lesser to greater threat: monetary, voluntary, political, religious, and ideological.

      There's variants but that's the one I'm familiar with. Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego

        The one I learned years back was during an educational seminar on the psychology of terrorism and how to combat it. I wish I still had the notes from it since it was a neat analysis into the varying root causes of it and the nuanced examination into the psychology of the varying kinds of terrorists.
