True. An educated person is simply a more efficient corporate slave.

Lots of "educated", "intellectual" and "sophisticated" people simply repeat what they hear in media and/or school (which is propaganda in some cases) and blindly follow it, without any critical thinking.

Exactly, they are like talking parrots, repeating what they've heard without the ability to critique what they are saying.

Because we need to ask the question "There has to be some factors" as to what gets people radicalized.
1. The Person itself who might be gullible or vulnerable
2. The Quran (and the things inside the book) Which there are some really truly awful and disturbing things written into it, then again so does the Bible but arguably not as bad as the Quran

Our education system , in the West, is obsolete. It was modeled after a Hegelian Prussian automaton lemming or sheeple model where all people are indoctrinated to believe the samethings on the important topics or issues du jour or at any given epoch which sets the tone for the zeitgeist. It is made to create lemmings or sheep and it worked well up until the Industrial revolution but it is now obsolete.
For instance, I know , in America most people don't reach the syntopical reading stage until graduate school but most people don't go to graduate school and have a standard Bachelors' degree. They simply don't teach this in school rather they force facts down your throat as if handed down from god :
We must be more than a nation of functional literates. We must become a nation of truly competent readers, recognizing all that the word competent implies. Nothing less will satisfy the needs of the world that is coming. --Mortimer J. Alder and Charles Von Doren in "How to Read a Book"
There are five basic ways to sort truth from falsehood:
*Check the reliability of the authors you read: A theologian is a less- reliable source of information than a scientist.
*Compare different sources of information on the same topic (books, magazines, webpages, etc), and note the areas of disagreement or omissions. Omissions often indicate bias, while points of disagreement should be investigated to see, if possible, who is really telling the truth. Sources with obvious bias need to be studied, since these will usually have the most telling criticisms of the other side.
*Observe who is willing to debate, and who is not: The former are most likely to be telling the truth, while the latter are probably trying to keep their lies from being exposed.
*Observe whether the arguments are clear or obscure: the latter are a good indication of muddled thinking, and a likely marker of error.
*If you yourself have a bias, be sure to study the accounts of those biased against your view: Your enemies will tell you things your friends would never think of -- or never dare to mention if they did.
"Free Thought and Official Propaganda" is a speech (and subsequent publication) delivered in 1922 by Bertrand Russell on the importance of unrestricted freedom of expression in society, and the problem of the state and political class interfering in this through control of education, fines, economic leverage, and distortion of evidence.
...
*Education — Instead of public education being used to teach children healthy learning attitudes, they are used for the opposite, to indoctrinate children with dogma, often patently false, even known to be false by the officials imposing the education.[4]
*Propaganda — After being taught to read but not weigh evidence and form original opinions, children become adults who are then subjected to dubious or obviously false claims for the rest of their lives.
*Economic pressure — The State and political class will use its control of finances and economy to impose its ideas, by restricting the choices of those who disagree.
Also, why is college obsolete ? Education and information is now FREE ! Check out Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseware or just be smart about the ebooks etc.. you read it is that simple basically. I was kicked out of college twice and I technically don't have a college degree but what I just said above ^ is higher IQ, more discerning, insightful (inciteful), and educated than 99.9% of people with their brainwashed sheeple accredited 'degrees'. 'MUH' degree and shiznit niggaz !

Because being educated is not the same thing as being progressive or open-minded. Most engineers are not innovators, they are simply cogs in a machine that follow a precise list of rules that apply to their design projects. Post-secondary education, until the graduate level, is merely a preparation for the workforce. It does not produce critical thinkers, it produces corporate slaves.

They are not "radicalized". They apply their religion.
Educated Muslims still look for their revenge against Occident and for conquest. Education is their weapon, Islamization is still their goal.
No wonder so many "educated" people are liberals.

Wouldn't expect such a level of scepticism regarding the scientific community from guys who reference at least one academic study in every other post as the absolute truth. Or better yet, some map from google images.

'Atheists' don't hold any beliefs as a group besides not being convinced that there's a god. Everything else attributed to them is just an attempt to make poking holes in their position easier.
