Ignorant Terrorists?

I've always wondered why some people feel a need to defend the actions of terrorists. The reasons that I usually see thrown about including oppression, diversity, understanding, empathy for their situation or some new age psychobabble like that. How do they reconcile that belief with the truth on the ground: the terrorists are ignorant.

Just look at the understanding of others exhibited by the bombers in Morocco.

They attacked a Jewish community center - on Friday. On Saturday the center would have been packed. The residents of the city knew this. Anyone with any knowledge of the Jewish faith could have figured it out. But the terrorists didn’t. Why not? A little effort would have gone a long way to making a successful terrorist attack.

Of course, the guy going after the Jewish cemetery wasn't much better. It doesn't take too much going on upstairs to be able to tell where a cemetery is. But this genius got within 150 feet - and then picked a fountain outside the cemetery. Then he blew himself up, killing only one person - himself. He didn't even cause any damage to the cemetery. He managed to miss one of the easiest targets to identify.

Did these guys care about cultural diversity? Did they care to learn about the ways of the people they were about to kill? Or were they just blinded by their hatred and contempt for the Jews?

The terrorists had no desire to learn anything about those that they were about to kill. They didn't feel that the Jews were worthy of their time. They had no concern for the feelings of those they wanted to blow up. Infidels are to be killed, not to be concerned for. They didn't want to live in peace with their neighbors. They didn't value diversity of culture. Instead of people, they saw targets.

The terrorists are beyond indefensible. Everything about them is anathema to cause of the diversity crowd. The terrorists are the anti-diversity crowd.

Which still leaves my question: how can people justify defending them?

Because the multiculturalists love to hate their own culture, and will lionize even the most despicable groups simply because they hate our culture as well. It's too bad these fools don't realize they are just as much in the crosshairs as the rest of us boorish warmongers.

Take a look at where Islam and Christianity are the most successful and that will tell you a lot about motivation. Islam also has a pretty wrathful God overall. No, the terrorists aren't real educated if you mean college degrees - a lot have roughly a 3-4-5 grade education, and a lot of psychological manipulation of their views. They hate us for being successful and having lots of things and freedoms. They study the target, not the culture. The suicide bomber is a dumb, cheap, smart bomb: point it at the target and let go... but don't expect it to figure out when Jews go to temple, or that the Jewish cemetary would have the Star of David on the tombstones... (that guy picked a "monument to Jews" and blew it up - or detonated himself too early).

The diversity crowd believes if we just gave in and became just like them, they would stop. Never noticing that crowd would be the first killed... wasn't that part of the Communist plan once they got the U.S. - purge everyone in the American Communist Party to stop their noise and complete the takeover?
