Terrorism in the Middle East includes Jews from Europe wanting a land of their own. Palestinians wanting their land back. And a lot of people not having anything to lose they tried or are trying to over throw the regime in power.
It's got little to do with women and their role in society.

You said it yourself. The root of terrorism comes in frustration with the system. There are many reasons people become frustrated with the system. Many terrorists are simply undereducated very poor people who are frustrated with the system, are poverty stricken and then one day are taken in by a group that helps them. They give them money and a help them find a purpose. They also teach them a hatred for the US (or whoever they are going to strike out against). They teach them that this enemy is the cause of their poverty and frustration with the system and these people, living in a society with a controlled media, have no way of knowing anything else.
I'm not saying the sole reason for terrorism is the role of women in the middle eastern society, I'm simply saying it is one of many the contributing factors. Imagine when you were a young man starting to date. What if you were not allowed to even speak to a woman and you never saw any woman's face other than those you were related to? Would that not frustrate you? Could that not become a contributing factor in your frustration for society?
