Frustration of a Different Nature

Glenn Reynolds:

WHY THEY HATE US: In my seminar the other day, one of my students remarked that terrorism is probably based on sexual frustration.

I strongly disagree. It might be a part of what motivates some terrorists (instant 72 virgins!) but it's not based on sexual frustration.

For if it were, the West wouldn't have to worry about Muslims in the West. Think about the following luminaries: Mohammad Atta and his eighteen buddies, the perpetrators of the Bali bombing, the British-born Muslims who carried out attacks in London, and the Canadian bunch who had a fertilizer fetish.

Did these cockroaches cause, or wanted to inflict, untold misery and suffering because they couldn't get laid?

Or maybe perhaps possibly they all have something else in common?
