I don’t think this is going to encourage anyone to carry out acts of violence.

- zozbot234 6y agoIf you listen to what these militant Islamists say in Arabic (as translated by reliable third-parties such as MEMRI) you get a very different picture. The asserted motivations are entirely or almost-entirely religious and linked to militant Islam itself; there is no reference to reciprocity of any kind with the Western world.
