I'm trying to empathise with them... I get why people become radicals of other kinds... but saying no music, no sex, live by the book, behead those who disagree... what part of that makes people think "I want to get into this, this sounds fun"?

The Arab world has valid grievances, which motivated 9-11 for example, but there's more to it than that.

    Like, if they were just doing terrorism in euro countries in payback for mega-terrorism and colonization, OK, kinda understandable.

    Nobody does this. Attacking your "oppressors" out of a desire for payback is an almost non-existent phenomenon. I know it makes sense to the people here but IRLs have different minds

    Almost every act of terroristic violence is powered by delusion, not some kind of rational revenge
