Religion has always appealed to those whose lives seem fruitless and without hope or meaning. As governments continue to fail to create systems where people can obtain decent educations, attain employment, meaningfully advance in their careers, obtain professional fulfillment, provide comfortable homes for their families, etc. there will be ranks of dissatisfied, demoralized, angry individuals eager to latch onto something that makes them feel good about themselves and that their lives have (or could have) some purpose.

The greatest enemies of religious zealotry are rationality (historically deriving from education, questionably so today) and prosperity (deriving from education, opportunity for upward mobility, etc.)

It is interesting to note that the "equal poverty for all" model of socialism / statism will only serve to swell the ranks of the dissatisfied and therefore the ranks of those willing to throw their lots in with Islam / jihad.
