The author starts by directing our attention to international terrorism and the global war on terrorism but fails to continue to keep this dicussion in the macroscopic perspective. Instead, he begins to very shortly (2 short statements) to discuss the "Capitalism" aspect of his article;which comes down to nothing more than a vague synopsis on the military endeavors of the US.
Capitalism is a topic of not religoius discussion but instead of an ideology based on financial goals:An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market. Islam is not a contender to this ideology but instead a propagater of free market competition through personal ownership and responsibility. The author doesn't even mention this aspect of the discussion.
The author writes "The problem is that socio-economic factors lead to political-religious manifestations" is invalid. Its the opposite actually. When one supresses socio-economic growth, the population grows to focus on religious growth. But the one suppressing hasn't realized that both are one.
