A great deal of contemporary terrorism, perhaps most of it, is motivated, justified, and inspired by fundamentalist religious doctrine. The perception of being morally wronged, sometimes passes on as mythology from generation to generation, is compounded by the fact that many terrorist are aggressive, lonely, frustrated, and dogmatic individuals. Terrorism for such individuals ,who tend to oversimplify issues, is the ultimate expression of carrying a chip on the shoulder. Whatever the primary motivation, as sense of self-righteousness can be a powerful catalyst for a violent option. Members of a terrorist group have common political, social, ethnic, or religious ideologies.
Terrorists are extremely dedicated to their cause.
Many believe they will be remembered as a martyr for their actions. They act in such a violent manner to restore their dignity. It makes them feel more powerful and noble. They genuinely feel like they are justified for their atrocities. Even though it is easy to sympathize with a terrorists living conditions, there is not valid excuse for their actions.
