Obama and Hillary have duped the American people long enough with their myths and blatant lies about Islam and jihadi groups. A vast proportion of ISIS recruits are “far from being uneducated or illiterate,” the World Bank has found in a study of why people join terrorist groups. The report says some of the recruits tend to be even better educated than their average countrymen.
It is not surprising. The Caliph himself has a PhD in Islamic theology.

Herein lies further proof that the lie that Islamic apologists and Muslim supremacists advance is propaganda. Here again, reality flies in the face of the bogus narrative of Islamic supremacists and the leftist lapdogs on their payroll, that jihad is caused by illiteracy and poverty. We are clubbed to death with the lie (literally). But it is often just the opposite. Well-educated and affluent, the jihadis shows that the catalyst for jihad is a move towards the faith of Islam. Religiosity is the catalyst.

There’s more, much more, but you get the picture.
It has been shown time and time again — whether it was the Muslim doctors who tried to blow up the Glasgow airport; or the wealthy, educated diplomat’s son who attempted to bomb a plane right out of the sky over Detroit on Christmas day; or the group of 45 Muslim doctors who plotted Islamic terror raids in the US; or the rich, well-educated Osama bin Laden; or the 19 9/11 hijackers. Jihad has nothing to do with wealth or education. It is a religion, a totalitarian and supremacist belief system.
One Muslima who joined the jihad, Aqsa Mahmood, grew up in an affluent neighborhood and attended a prestigious private school. The Time Square bomber was the son of an affluent banker and diplomat.
The jihadist who led the mass beheading of Christians on a beach in Libya was an American Muslim. Thousands of Muslims from Europe, North America, Australia, etc. are flocking to the Middle East to wage jihad. They grew up in the West. They went to good schools and came from affluent homes. Some stay in their own countries and aid and abet the jihad — like the business executive in India who also happened to run the most influential Twitter account followed by the Islamic State. Foreign jihadis, beheaders, rapists and slaughterers in the cause of Islam.
At the risk of repeating myself for the past ten years, this war is ideological. It’s religious and political, because Islam is political. Nationality, race, sex, ethnicity, borders, hair color, shoe size, and shirt color are irrelevant. The common thread is Islam — pure Islam.
“ISIS recruits ‘significantly more educated’ than average countrymen – World Bank study,” RT, 6 Oct, 2016:
A vast proportion of ISIS recruits are “far from being uneducated or illiterate,” the World Bank has found in a study of why people join terrorist groups. The report says some of the recruits tend to be even better educated than their average countrymen.
The World Bank-sponsored report titled ‘Economic and Social Inclusion to Prevent Violent Extremism’ states that, “sixty-nine percent of [Islamic State] recruits report at least a secondary education. Only fifteen percent left school before high school and less than two percent are illiterate,” debunking a common myth about the jihadists.

© Reuters ‘Koran for Dummies’: Most ISIS recruits ignorant about Islam, AP survey showsThe study, aimed at determining the social and economic reasons behind people’s decisions to join Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), was based on data on 3,803 foreign recruits. The records came from a “leaked cache of the organization’s [IS] personnel records,” as well as nationally representative opinion surveys, such as Gallup World Poll and World Values Survey. These provided information on the recruits’ country of residence, citizenship, age, education status, previous jihadist experience and religious knowledge.
Not only did the study debunk a popular myth that most members of the extremist group lack education, it also said that IS recruits who come from specific parts of the world tend to be better educated than their average countrymen.
“An important finding is that these individuals are far from being uneducated or illiterate. Most claim to have attended secondary school and a large fraction have gone on to study at university,” the report states.
“Notably, Daesh recruits from Africa, South and East Asia and the Middle East are significantly more educated than individuals from their cohort in their region of origin,” researchers write in the report, using an Arabic pejorative for IS.
When enlisting, around 30 percent of the recruits whose data was used in the report told IS what positions they preferred in the organization. The results showed that those who applied for a position of suicide fighter or an administrator on average turned out from the more educated group.
“The proportions of administrators but also of suicide fighters increase with education,” the study says.
The researchers, however, urged others to take caution when interpreting the results since recruits might have been “overestimating” their education.
The majority of recruits also reported having a job prior to joining the extremist group. However, those who chose to become suicide bombers either lacked a job in their country or had served in the military.
“The proportions of administrators but also of suicide fighters increase with education. Recruits who reported not working or being in the military before joining Daesh are the most prone to choosing ‘suicide fighter’ as their preferred option,” the report said.
The study also stated which countries “supplied” the most IS recruits. Among the top five nations researchers named Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey and Egypt. Examining the countries’ economic situations on the whole, researchers found that “wealthier countries as measured by their per capita GDP, are more likely to be supplying foreign recruits for the terrorist group.”
While researchers remain certain that “poverty is not a driver of radicalization into violent extremism,” a “lack of economic and social inclusion” is most likely to have played a role in people’s decision to join IS.
“We find that Daesh did not recruit its foreign workforce among the poor and less educated, but rather the opposite,” they write. “While terrorism is not associated with poverty and low levels of education, the lack of inclusion seems to be a risk factor of radicalization into violent extremism. Moreover, unemployment certainly has explanatory power.”
Policies that promote job creation and better “inclusion” might be able to prevent the spread of extremism, researchers said.
“Looking at a dataset on foreign recruits joining Daesh, we find that the factors most strongly associated with foreign individuals’ joining Daesh have to do with a lack of economic and social inclusion in their country of residence. Promoting greater inclusion, therefore, could not only bring down the level of violent extremism, but it could improve economic performance in the MENA [Middle East and North Africa] region,” the researchers conclude in the report.

No matter how much “education” a muslim is exposed to, it remains an criminally insane violent ignorant subhuman creature.

The more a muslim studies the killing manual the more violent they are and it is the educated ones that can read. The koran is a brainwashing tool created by satan and his minion mohammad.

That is a fact. The qur’an rationalizes every form of violent sexual perversion and brutal ignorant cult murder that there is. If the general public was conscious of the disgusting practices that are considered “islamic” it would drive islam out of society with the same brutal ignorance islam uses to enforce its criminal insanity.

islamic education is the “waterboarding” of the intellect. It is tortured and abused tot he point where it accepts islam to prevent further painful punishment. It is difficult to “deprogram” muslims as they are genetically inferior through inbreeding to begin with, plus mentally and physically abused, still, like hostages with “stockholm syndrome” muslims develop “mecca syndrome”, which is lethal to those exposed to carriers thereof.

Like you’ve mentioned Dunning Kruger is a big problem. I think there is some correlation with education and being able to think more productively but in islam the degree of brainwashing tends to override individual thought submitted to the whole that is even more – much more in my opinion -dumbed down to the leaders. Islamic culture in many ways it’s like a barbarian stuck in medieval times that is all of a sudden handed a computer stuffed with the 21st century knowledge – and unfortunately facebook. Those islamic leaders who do have some smarts seem to be much more tyrannical and violent and certainly not bent on assimilating with the West.

islamic education is a series of questions and answers pre approved to assure the question is aways worded to show islam as fair, honest and reasonable. There is no such thing as challenging a question or answer. Any deviation from rote lessons is responded to with physical violence to assure the lesson is learned, the qua’a is not to be questioned or counted on, only agreed with and followed.
Those with functioning brains and actual intelligence plus a greedy desire to control people, soon discover that they can manipulate islam, like any other “for profit” organization. As islam uses brute force and ignorant violence to maintain itself, dictators can use the qur’an to enforce their will, all in the name of mutgonad police beat upon him.

Whether it’s American, Muslim, Christian or any nationality, the masses are generally taken advantage of by those with more information and power. The outcomes are debatable. I think it’s a bit of a stretch also to say education equals being smart. Plenty other words come to mind that often define our current crop of world leaders like shrewd, cunning, and arrogant. IQ does not correlate reliably with wisdom. I remember some articles that discussed how the so-called inteligencia in the islamic theocracy especially the imams does not compare to the amount of educational preparation in western cultures.

The “masses” in the USA are only taken advantage of because they are too lazy to see truth. Frankly, so many could care less about truth as long as they get free stuff. If one avails him/herself of what knowledge is out there you can’t be taken advantage of to point where you kill someone because some dumb Muslim tells you it’s right. Those educated idiots believe the sun circles the earth.

Education does not mean being smart, it is the means to acquire “smartness”. However sly, vindictive, manipulating greedy criminal insanity are all possible within the “educational process”. I.q is not a particularly good way to measure intelligence, it is possibly useful to determine how good a persons memory is, problem solving i.q tests are rare and hard to evaluate. In islam, intelligence is not desirable, islam means “submission” it does not mean think, tolerate or adapt, it means submit to the world of some self anointed imam, in many cases with access to a goon squad to enforce his interpretation of the qur’an.

You can lead a muslim to decent behaviour, but you can’t make them think. there is no cure for islam, other then its destruction.

Note that the vast majority were “educated” and funded by the taxpayers of the countries that they then attacked and whose citizens – even co-citizens, for many were born there – they decided to kill. That’s gratitude for you.
The solution is, of course, to stop any more of these potential maniacs coming in to our civilised democracies, and to crack down HARD on any already here who we can’t deport. The Russians and Chinese take no nonsense from any troublemaking “minorities”. Time we woke up and followed suit.

It is conspiratorial after all what they are throwing up in our faces. It’s like looking at phoney comey plead ignorance for the former secretary of state relling us its not intent to put a computer with national security information in her basement and thinking is he for real. If we believe that our politicians are clearly that stupid instead of manipulative then we had better just resign ourselves to a very bad fate. The key now is to go after them and take our government back.

True. The fact that they do it is bad, but the fact that they get away with it is even worse. People are stupid and are more interested in that Kartrashian nonsense than matters of importance. After all, these idiots elected Obama twice. Even now, Obama’s approval is over 50%. I just can’t understand that.

No surprise. There are many Islamists here who have infiltrated the medical and law and teaching professions. They blog anonymously their hate of everything Israeli, Zionist and Western while claiming to support the constitution. Many are taken in by this ruse. Sooner or later their true colours shine through. Others manage to hide for years behind a public respectable persona.
