If poverty and illiteracy are not the main cause than what is the factor that induce the young people to die while committing suicide bombing? If we rationally think people do some thing for getting reward.Either here or hereafter.
On the other hand yes i do agree the brain washing has nothing to do with literacy or illiteracy but it is related to level of maturity of a particular issue.As we are not enough mature on the religious issues due to lot of reasons, so any one of us could be come the victim of evil forces irrespective of education.
