Answer 1

'Anno' above described it so eloquently that things are now set in right perspective. I am sorry for the long posting here since the topic is also very complicated to state within one or two paragraphs without doing some justice to the facts behind growth of desperation that make people to blow themselves up.

I think it is such that the religion Islam came into prominence in the fighting in Middle East when the Afghanistan's Arab veteran of war against Soviet Union's occupation of that country ended. These mostly Arab mercenaries merged with PLO and such organizations that were already fighting a long and dreadful guerilla warfare against the Israelis from 1970s when the PLO was formed. I got the following events from Wikipedia those would give some idea as to why do Muslims in Africa and Middle Eastern countries have so many 'terrorists' or in other words 'freedom fighters' turned 'terrorists.

War of attrition: Between 1969 to September 1970 the PLO, with passive support from Jordan, fought a war of attrition with Israel. During this time, the PLO launched artillery attacks on the moshavim and kibbutzim of Bet Shean Valley Regional Council, while fedayeen launched numerous attacks on Israeli civilians. Israel raided the PLO camps in Jordan, withdrawing only under Jordanian military pressure. This conflict culminated in Jordan's expulsion of the PLO in September 1970.

Black September in Jordan: The PLO suffered a major reversal with the Jordanian assault on its armed groups in the events known as Black September in 1970. The Palestinian groups were expelled from Jordan, and during the 1970s the PLO was effectively an umbrella group of eight organizations headquartered in Damascus and Beirut, all devoted to what they called armed resistance to either Zionism or Israeli occupation, using methods which included attacks on civilians and guerrilla warfare against Israel. After Black September, the Cairo Agreement led the PLO to establish itself in Lebanon.

First Intifada: In 1987 the First Intifada broke out in the Occupied Territories. The Intifada caught the PLO by surprise, and the leadership abroad could only indirectly influence the events while a new local leadership, the Unified Intifada Leadership comprised of many leading Palestinian factions, emerged. After King Hussein of Jordan proclaimed the administrative and legal separation of the West Bank from Jordan in 1988, the Palestine National Council adopted the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in Algiers proclaiming an independent State of Palestine. The declaration made reference to UN resolutions without explicitly mentioning Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. A month later, Arafat declared in Geneva that the PLO would support a solution of the conflict based on these Resolutions. Effectively the PLO recognized Israel's right to exist within pre-1967 borders, with the understanding that the Palestinians would be allowed to set up their own state in the West Bank and Gaza. The United States accepted this clarification by Arafat and began to allow diplomatic contacts with PLO officials. The Proclamation of Independence did not lead to a Palestinian State, although over 100 states recognized the "State of Palestine".

The Second or Al-Aqsa Intifada started concurrent with the breakdown of talks at Camp David with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. The Intifada never ended officially, but violence hit relatively low levels during 2005. The death toll both military and civilians of the entire conflict in 2000-2004 is estimated to be 3,223 Palestinians and 950 Israelis, although this number is criticized for not differentiating between combatants and civilians.

Gulf War: In 1990, the PLO under Yasser Arafat openly supported Saddam Hussein in his regime's invasion of Kuwait, leading to a later rupture in Palestinian-Kuwaiti ties and the expulsion of many Palestinians from Kuwait.

Second Gulf War: The Iraq War (March 20, 2003 to present), is an ongoing war that resumed with the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The coalition overthrew Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and occupied Iraq in an attempt to establish a new governmental regime. However, the coalition was unsuccessful at restoring order to the entire country, leading to asymmetric warfare with the Iraqi insurgency, civil warfare between Sunni and Shia Iraqis, and al Qaeda terror operations in Iraq. Despite this failure to restore order, a growing number of coalition nations have decided to withdraw troops from Iraq. The causes and consequences of the war remain controversial.

So you may see that the Middle East had been on the anvil of confrontation since the inception of Israel in 1948. Therefore, the origin of hatred and subsequent guerilla warfare and now 'terrorist' attacks all over the world is the culmination of these series of events of our modern history. Hope this gives you enough food-for-thought on the question asked.

None of them have 'so many' terrorists except for places where war is particularly situated(like iraq, afghanistan, etc.).

Terrorists are a minority in the middle east, africa just as they are a minority elsewhere.

those have connection with the west may become terrorists, because they are discriminated by the west and some feel it is unjustice to be controlled be western powerful nations. but they are too weak to fight in conventional way, so they become terrorists.
