The vast majority of us are pretty smart. We own houses, have jobs, raise families, and do well. But there is another section of society that barely functions.
For example, I have a friend of mine who has been in disability for the past twenty-five years. He functions as a normal adult, drives, cuts his own grass, but otherwise is mentally retarded and operates a sixteen year old kid. If you talk to him for ten minutes he seems fine. But if you talk to him for more than ten minutes you discover everything between 1989 and last year is a complete void - for example, he'll remember 9/11 was horrible and might remember planes were involved, but he couldn't name the city or the buildings involved.
These are the people that get suckered into this shit. Eventually they find a cause, and put a lot of effort into it. My friend is now a Knights of Columbus member and spends most of his time doing that. But sometimes people like him discover other religions, such as Islam, and some are taught to believe we are killing them for no reason.
