Having much experience with restless, rebellious teens (back when I had faith in humanity, I was a Utopian Anarchist) I can tell you that it is very, very hard to incite organized violence. The religious zealots will create movements, and there will be some followers, but history shows the common thread that violent groups are spawned by violent conditions. For a globe-spanning, resilient terrorist network to form, there must be an incredible number of people working actively (actually doing the work) or passively (providing monetary and other resources), and removing the violence that drives these people will, if not completely eliminate, then will at least take a huge bite out of the resources of these extremists. Look at the group we're dealing with in this thread, the Black Widows. Black <b><i><u>WIDOWS!!!!</b></i></u>. Victims of violence turning to violence.
