Causes of terrorism

main causes of terrorism:
separatism
nationalism
religion
ethnicity
moral disagreements
resistance against an oppressor


separatism:
a self-righteous group separating themselves from all forms of government or dictation

nationalism:
the devotion to your nation or leaders , the desire to destroy all who don't agree with or follow through with the way they are being governed

religion:
believing so strongly that there is only one set of rules to live by and who ever does not abide does not deserve to live

ethnicity:
basically extreme racism, hate for any culture that isnt your own


moral disagreements:
believing that not agreeing with the way something is done is extremely offensive

resistance against an oppressor:
if there is any type of oppression, there will always be a group to disagree and do anything in their power to get the point across that they will not be oppressed without retaliation or a fight.

The basic fuel for the fire in all of these causes are the mentality that if you don't think the same as these people, you don't deserve to live.

Nice list. Did you brain storm this yourself or did you find it on the web somewhere? If it is from a site you should include the URL and add a link to it. That's like citing your sources.
