Today, let us start the day with a great quote, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” – these words by Aristotle rings hauntingly true today. His visionary understanding of true education encompassed both intellectual and moral development.
Yet, despite this ancient wisdom, we are today facing a disturbing reality: highly educated individuals who still lack basic human compassion and common sense.
The December 21, 2024 attack in Magdeburg, Germany stands as stark evidence. A 50-year-old Saudi-born doctor, Taleb A., who deliberately rammed his car into a Christmas market, killed two and injuring 200+ innocent civilians.
His so-called education didn’t prevent him from embracing extremist ideologies. This isn’t an isolated incident. Germany has documented 30 jihad-related incidents since 2016 – from mob knife attacks to plots against embassies and police.
These acts of violence, often perpetrated by educated individuals, completely shatter the myth that education alone prevents radicalization. Actually, these individuals are also excelled in education from a book that came from sky.
The resurgence of radical jihadists in Europe marks what many call the continent’s darkest period. This wave of chaos, unleashed by individuals who often hold advanced degrees, definitively debunks the long-held belief that education is an antidote to terrorism.
In this video, we will burn and roast the fact that ‘if Islamists were educated, they wouldn’t have turned extremist’
Over the last span of years, countless big terrorists have came across the world platform and if you check their background it makes you worried more.
Among them is 50-year-old Saudi-born psychiatrist Taleb A., who deliberately drove into a Christmas market, killing two and injuring over 200 civilians. Currently in custody, he is reportedly a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
German media linked him to an X account titled “Saudi Military Opposition,” criticizing Germany’s treatment of Saudi asylum seekers. Ironically, despite claiming to be Islam’s harshest critic. But, his actions mirror those he condemns.
And viewers this is just tip of the iceberg. These are some renowned names, their most qualified degree and the heinous crime they commited.
Mohammed Emwazi, an Electrical Engineer in UK known as “Jihadi John,” was a Kuwait-born terrorist featured in several ISIS videos showing the execution of hostages between 2014-2015. He was part of the four-person terrorist cell called ‘The Beatles.’
Here we have another guy of same background, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, another Electrical Engineer. He was one of the main perpetrators and masterminds behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Philippine Airlines Flight 434 bombing. He was also a co-conspirator in the Bojinka plot.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was also a Mechanical Engineer from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. As an operational planner for Al-Qaeda, he masterminded some of the organization’s highest-profile terror attacks, most notably the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Abubakr Al-Baghdadi held a PhD in Islamic Studies (with BA and MA) and became ISIS chief. In 2014, he gained global notoriety after ISIS seized large parts of Syria and Iraq.
Osama bin Laden, a Civil Engineer from King Abdul Aziz University, founded Al-Qaeda. He was the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.
Ayman Al-Zawahiri was a surgeon (MBBS from Cairo), became Al-Qaeda’s leader after bin Laden’s death. He was also involved in orchestrating the 9/11 attacks on America.
Whereas, Faisal Shahzad, Computer Engineer (Diploma in Computer Applications from Ajloun University), was convicted of the failed Times Square bombing attempt in May 2010. He received a life sentence in Manhattan court.
Naeem Noor Khan, IT Specialist (Al-Qaeda), arrested in Pakistan on July 13, 2004. His laptop contained detailed plans for terrorist attacks on American buildings and locations, including several airports.
Ahlam Tamimi, Journalist (Birzeit University), a Jordanian resident who orchestrated the 2001 Jerusalem bombing that killed 16 and injured 145 people.
These profiles paint a disturbing picture: a PhD holder, a civil engineer, and a medical doctor – all highly educated individuals who became notorious terrorist leaders. Each received education from prestigious institutions, yet chose to lead organizations responsible for mass casualties and global terror.
These examples of highly educated terrorists further reinforce the point that education alone doesn’t prevent radicalization. Each of these individuals held advanced engineering degrees from respected institutions, yet chose paths of extreme violence and terror.
So, please dear West, wake up from the slumber…. We are not against muslims. We are against the mindset that preaches to eradicate the ‘non believers’. Let’s join hands and fight back this century old taboo that continues to cause chaos across the world.
