If It's Terrorism, This Must Be Islam.
Why do I bomb thee? Let me count the ways:
I'm poor, I'm well-off, I'm uneducated, I have post-graduate degrees, I'm bored, I'm just playing a joke, I live in an impoverished back-water, I live in one of the richest countries of the West, they won't let me assimilate, they're trying to force me to give up my religion, I'm Shia and the Sunnis are pushing me around, I'm Sunni and the Shias are pushing me around, etc, etc.
Choose one or more, as required.
