I guess I should have realized by the "don't @ me" that it was a meme. LOL.
I suppose you are right about terrorists in some ways. However, I think that the majority of terrorist groups really just operate on political desires. They want political gain and will recruit people who barely fit into their ideology. This is especially prevalent in Afghanistan, where external pressure from a resurgent Taliban can affect new recruits to the US backed PMCs by targeting their families causing them to back out of training, keeping our number low while also doubling down on recruiting others.
The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point does an excellent job at detailing some of the ways that the Taliban tried to recruit others:
https://ctc.usma.edu/increase-in-taliban-efforts-to-recruit-from-afghan-government-and-security-forces/The Pew Research Center shows that the majority of Muslims tend to not support ISIS. This makes me think that other factors, such as threats or funding, play a role in recruitment:
I think it isn't too controversial to suggest that terrorism should be frowned upon, but I think that key leaders that want to selfishly hog political power, land, money etc. are the real problems. They tear apart entire countries to recruit severely misguided youth and force them to fight. Brainwashing is disgusting, and by manipulating someone's faith or forcing their hand by offering money these leaders get what they want.
Thankfully, in the US, the actual threat of dying via terrorist groups, Muslim or Far Right, is far lower than one would expect. The article makes a distinction between Muslim and Far Right Terrorism, but both tend to be foiled at a rate higher than one would imagine. I am not going to argue for/against that distinction, it just happens to be the evidence I have.

N64 was a great system, but I remember playing the Sega Genesis more than I played any 64 bit console (we were not that wealthy at the time, so we went for a cheaper console.) I do not have a PS4, but I really want to buy one for Persona 5 alone.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did not mean to come off as a jerk.
