Actually I would think the opposite. It's about the end being justified by any and all means.

I think we're agreeing on that point - the end may be acceptable, but the means are unacceptable - yes? I'm glad you think that about the IRA too, because now I don't have to disagree with you

well no, I'm not sure anyone has a really good idea of what's going on... I certainly don't claim to. We know it's widespread (Saudi, Afghanistan, Pakistan) it's linked with a peverted form of Islam (because Islam forbids murder, if taught correctly), it's anti-western and specifially anti-American (America supporting Israel no matter what they do doesn't really help here) and some of the terrorists seemed to be perfectly normal people before they got indoctrinated. That's pretty much all I'm sure of.
selling guns and bombs isn't as bad as murdering innocent civilians, however it's not as good as helping old ladies across the road
