Well there is the part where people in charge of government bodies specifically dealing with terrorism didn't bother to check for this correlation before:
> I thought these cases challenged conventional wisdom about terrorism, which holds that it is all about ideology. (...) When I raised this with the authorities, however, I encountered scepticism and disbelief.
I think that's quite a significant oversight, and given the effort it took to convince them to correct that oversight a dismissive reply suggesting this is obvious seems inappropriate in context.
The point is that violence against women is often ignored, and the flippant replies here are yet another confirmation of that.
- Zababa 5y agoConsidering the number of terrorists, and the number of domestic violence case, this won't really help with finding them.
- yodelshady 5y agoIt's probably quite a good correlation. Freakonomics covered the idea "why suicide bombers should buy life insurance" - because, well, most don't and a decent profiling tool will notice that. Emotionally-driven behaviour is typically harder to conceal.
