Ironic is that your own quoted post agrees with Sageman.

Research conducted by Professor Mia Bloom of the University of Cincinnati, found that female terrorists throughout the world have chosen to do so in order to atone for sins or wrongdoings by one of their families members.

Stage three. Do all or most females who must atone for sins go to stage four? No. Ironic is that UT wants to agrue with a post that agrees with his post.
UT, why do you want to argue? Are you moving to stage three? Many dangerous terrorists are home grown.
Meanwhile, what does it take to create a terrorist? Years of what eventually drives him to stage four. What does it take to stop terrorism once years of mistakes were made? All those problems that justify his anger must be removed.
What does not take to undo terrorism faster? Notice the awesome shock created by the Oslo Accords to undo years of terrorism. Notice what it took Sharon to restart terrorism. Sharon simply tapped into and encouraged the reasons (long nutured biases) that pushed potential recruits into stage four.
Those who think terrorism will be stopped by violence are fooling only themselves. Terrorism is terminated by addressing the reasons for stages one through three. To stop terrorism means going after problems that justify suicidial bombings. Well proven is how wars are avoided. Great leaders ask and get answered an important question. "But what does he see? What is he being told? Why does he believe what he does?"
Only a fool believes shooting a terrorist will stop others from being terrorists. More often, its the other way around. That violence may only encourage others to also move to stage four. Stopping terrorism means going after the reasons why a potential recruit moves to stage three and stage four.
