The document discusses the relationship between education, poverty, and terrorism. It questions the commonly held belief that lack of education and poverty directly cause terrorism. While poverty and lack of education may lead to some small crimes, there is no empirical data linking these factors to serious crimes like murder or terrorism. In fact, the data shows that terrorists tend to be highly educated and reasonably wealthy individuals who provide leadership for terrorist organizations. There are likely no direct causal links between education/poverty and terrorism. At most, widespread deprivation across large groups or entire nations may increase chances of participation in violence, but individual deprivation alone does not.
