They seem mainly motivated by money though . Of course it's definitely true that they employ terrorist methods much more frequently than other OC groups , but I'm not aware of any Mexican drug cartel committing violence in the name of ideology . I know that the Knights Templar cartel is described as being quasi religious , yet I'm not aware of them committing any terrorist acts because of their ideology .
