Apparently engineers gravitate towards terrorism...

I can see engineering leading to conservatism. All the really great contracts come in the form of defense spending. The Cold War was awesome for engineers.

The religious thing I don't completely buy, though.

that "engineers have a 'mindset' that makes them a particularly good match for Islamism," which becomes explosive when fused by the repression and vigorous radicalization triggered by the social conditions they endured in Islamic countries.

PS, the engineering society frowns upon the use of word engineer by anyone else.
 
Or maybe people who want to be, or already are, terrorists, gravitate to the engineering diciplines knowing that it will help them blow sh*t up.

Or maybe that it's the fact they weren't smart enough to grasp the technical aspects of engineering.
