Educated Muslims found to have supported September 11 attacks By Khalid Hasan www.dailytimes.com.pk/def...5C05%5C12% 5Cstory_12-5-2006_pg7_6WASHINGTON:

A Gallop poll survey of eight Muslim countries has shown that those who applauded the 9/11 attacks tended to be better educated and more affluent. They were not necessarily more religious that other Muslims. The poll found that those who regularly attended the mosque were no more likely to back terrorism than those who did not. This also held true of Muslims who believed religion to be important in daily life. According to a Washington Post report, about 25 percent of all Muslims with a higher-than-average income supported the 9/11 attacks, more than the less affluent and the poor Muslims did. Among high school or college graduates, 44 percent held extremist views, compared with 38 percent of less educated Muslims. The unemployed were no more likely to back terrorism than those who worked full time. Extremists were only half as likely as moderates to believe that the US would allow people in the Middle East to fashion their own political future..

illiterate muslims will do Jehad with knives and swords

literate muslims will do jehad with guns

Tech Savvy muslims will use Technology and Internet as a tool to spread Jehadi ideology and recruit new jehadis.

educated Muslims will do more sophisticated jehad. Recent examples of Indian Muslim doctors and engineers caught in UK in jehadi terror attacks.

More educated muslim = more fanatic he is = more dangerous.
