From the comments in a New York Times piece on why so many engineers in the Muslim world are terrorists:
In every field
and every endeavor
there are those who are just
as crazy as ever.
But even the crazy
see one thing clear:
If you want something done,
call an engineer.

One response to “Who Ya Gonna Call?”
I suppose it’s too banal to say that -given Middle East economies- Muslims who become trained engineers have very nearly zero opportunities to gain a livelihood. Hence they are driven to desperation.
A similar phenomenon was seen in the ranks of the Nazi party. There were more than a few college educated degree-holders in there; William Shirer called them “intellectual gangsters.”
