Terrorism not caused by lack of education and poverty

[conus]

Krueget and Maleckova seem to catagorize all violence not perpetrated by the state to be "terrorist," which is kind of like wondering why serial killers and shoplifters commit these crimes. If, for example, they had looked only at crimes with racial or religious motivations, I have a feeling that education would have played a larger role. They make mention of this regarding the Ku Klux Klan, but don't give much information. They said that, according to Swathmore economists, "the higher the education level in the county, the greater the likelihood of a hate group." But they didn't mention educational levels among Klan members. I just have this feeling that among the ranks of Klan members and abortion clinic bombers you won't find many astro-physicists.
