Terrorists seem to be people that refuse to believe in any other culture or way of life based on information provided by one book and a mentor. Isn't that the similar to our own home grown conspiracy therorists (ct's) who claim the government sponsored the 911 events? Isn't a CT's evidence based on kooks and limited or fabricated information?
Of the information I've read or heard about regarding conspiracy, those hundreds of professors have to be the worse. They all say the same lame thing they same way. I wouldn't let them carry my groceries out!

No, they're not the same for one reason: our ct's don't kill people, the terrorists do. Now they are the same in that they both hate America and want harm to come to us, but ours are content to let someone else do it. So I guess that's another difference; the terrorists, wrong as they are (and may they all die) have enough courage or faith in their beliefs to do what they did, ours are invertebrates with a big mouth. Oh, and did I mention hypocrites, because they enjoy the benefits of living in America and at the same time attack them. Is that self destructive behavior or what? Anyway, I say they should all go live in Iran, but that's just me. I'll keep fighting terrorists so that these brainless mouths can keep their freedom of speech. Oh, but they'd better not come within arms reach of me, because that first amendment only protects them from the government, not me.

This just another of many signs that we are very near the end of times. See if these sound familiar...
When untrustworthy people will be regarded as trustworthy and the trustworthy will be regarded as untrustworthy.
When orators and lecturers lie openly.
When people dispute over petty issues.
When oppression, jealousy, and greed become the order of the day.
When people blatantly follow their passions and whims.
When lies prevail over the truth.
When violence, bloodshed and anarchy become common.
When immorality overtakes shamelessness and is perpetrated publicly.
There will be an abundance of critics, tale-carriers, back- biters and taunters in society.
Hypocrites will be in control of the affairs of the community and evil, immoral people will be at the helm of business establishments.
These are but a few of the many signs of the coming change.

Yes, both groups (terrorists and conspiracy believers) share common ways of thinking as you point out. A key part of the terrorist ethics is the idea that killing others to further the spread of your belief system is OK, or even morally required. Most conspiracy believers do not have this requirement as part of their ethical system, so they do not engage in violence against other people. (Or, if they do believe it is moral to kill others who do not believe as they do, they do not have the courage to follow their convictions.)
You are right in spotting the metaphysical connection between the 'professors' and the terrorists. Both groups share a metaphysical contempt for reality, and so think that the life and world provided to us by our senses are in essence unreal or fake, and so basically worthless. This is a basic precept of most religions: the world is not real, it is the afterlife that is real, and therfore death is to be looked forward to, not avoided.
If you think the world is unreal and worthless, and that your death is both inevitable and to be looked forward to, then the best, most moral thing you can do with your life is influence the time and manner of your death, i.e. to use your meagre powers as a living being to make a statement against the worthless, corrupt world. In destroying as much of the world as possible in your own death, you are committing the most moral act possible to you, according to your belief system. As Osama said, "Our young men love death more than you love life." It's the most powerful example yet of a true death cult.

You have a very interesting world view. Have you read Ted Kazinski's manifesto. You two are on the same track.
