I find its not really zealotry that causes these types of conflict,

I call bullshit. Osama bin Laden is a multi-millionaire from a wealthy
family in Saudi Arabia.  Aywan al Zawahiri is a physician from Egypt.
Studies have shown that *many* of the jihadis are from the upper middle
class and wealthy parts of societies (like Saudi Arabia) that promote
Wahabbism, the most virulent form of radical Islam

Is Osama throwing away his life? Did he fly a plane into the WTC or is
he just using the poor and unhappy as his fodder?

Would Hitler have been able to rally the Germans if they weren't in
dire economic straits?

I call bullshit on your bullshit ;-)
