And when taught and convinced by articulate manipulators (like many religious leaders and politicians) that their way is rightious and the only way to be, fueled by their ignorance, fears, hatred and bigotry, you get terrorists or a people whose first thought and only solution is violence and revenge, even if misdirected..
