#1 Theories of radicalization have come and gone. Experts have variously blamed poverty, Arab nationalism, the Internet, geopolitics, alienation, charismatic sheiks, dictatorial regimes and youthful anomie.

If only there were a common thread - a common ideological motivation linking jihadis together - then we might stumble upon the answer. Nationalism? The internet? Fatty foods? We may never know.

#3 We need a rocket scientist here to figure that one out.

#4 It couldn't be Islam could it?

#6 #4 - Islam is "THE" religion of peace. By your mere suggestion, Jack, you have probably caused 10,000 beheadings!

I am quite certain it is either UFOs, or socio-political deprivation of human rights and dignities engineered by evil American capitalists.

#7 gawk. This article is proof that they can no longer afford editors at the NYT. Jeesh.

Of course you can't see the cause. Andrea! You buried the very simple answer so deep inside a 7 gazillion word piece so full of unnecessary adjectives that it should be patented and sold as a sleep aid.

But don't feel bad that after all of that effort you were apparently the only one in the world unable to see the thick Sharpie line connecting the dots because no one is going to read all the way through that unedited trash anyway.

#8 on second thought, maybe I was too harsh on ol' Andrea. Maybe the only way she can present the connected dots of radical Islam is to hide them in plain sight.

#9 "Jihad"

What an odd word. I wonder which language it is derived from.
