[QUOTE="Seymour Packages, post: 4369736, member: 79252"] A significant number of Christians support the US military abroad regardless of the atrocities it commits. That doesn't necessarily translate to direct action. In regards to those that join and support radical factions: Any people that feel they are oppressed will join a cause. Especially if they feel they can take out their frustration on those they feel are responsible. It's even worse if they are young and impressionable. Look at the surge in Christians that joined and supported radical, racist organizations just after Reconstruction in the South and during subsequent decades leading up to the 1960s. Dejected Confederate soldiers and enraged Southerners that saw their land pillaged and burned. The overwhelming majority of Southerners hated Reconstruction and the new order of things that they felt was forced on them after the Civil War. Poverty and desperation create the perfect breeding ground for radicalization. [/QUOTE]
