I can agree with this, however it doesn't change the core problem.
Throughout history, any rotten movement or ideology could probably have been linked to economics, poverty, defeat, nationalism, whatever.
We weren't fighting "Germany's national insecurities and growing anti-semitism" during WW II. We were fighting
fascism.
Economics, poverty, ignorance, education, corruption, authoritarianism, monarchism, etc. etc.
All of these things I'm willing to concede might play some kind of role in the overall problem. That doesn't however change the fact that many of these things have allowed for, or are otherwise the result of, radical Islamic inculcation.
