Explain some of the motivations of terrorists

What will be an ideal response?


While not all terrorists suffer from psychological deficits, enough do so that the typical terrorist can be described as an emotionally disturbed individual who acts out his or her psychoses within the confines of violent groups. Another view is that because they are out of the political and social mainstream, young men and women are motivated to join terror groups because they suffer alienation and lack the tools to compete in a post technological society. Another view is that terrorists hold extreme religious and/or ideological beliefs that prompt their behavior.
