With all due respect, but this is overly simplistic thinking. You're implying that people in that region are somehow more predisposed to "terrorism" compared to people in other regions, and that due to instability, they will somehow turn to "terrorism" as the defacto way to support their families, putting aside their morals and ethics that prevent them from engaging in those actions to begin with. We've already seen what happened in the US at the slightest hint of instability (all the looting that took place in the past weeks, and in a bizarre manner, some by seemingly well off people as well).

Secondly, it's known that funding also comes from non-Arab countries, who have vested interest to see that region continue to be unstable, to further their own benefits.
