I put quotes around understand because I don't think anyone can truly understand the warped ideas of these terrorists. The best you can do is guess their motives, based on your *own* experience. And I can only assume that your experience does not include a blind adherance to an extremist religion.
I'd say normal people cannot understand anyone willing to kill hundreds of innocent people just to draw attention. No sane person can understand someone that wants to kill people they never met for "insulting" their religion (or even because a religious leader *said* they insulted their religion).
I understand that Muslim extremists want us to stop supporting Israel (so they can kill the Jews), and leave the middle-east (so they can take over).
Then they'll demand control of Spain and the balkans. And then, because there are Muslims all over the world, they'll want to control all of it; after all, it's all part of the Muslim nation.
Do you understand why I think we'll lose everything if we are "understanding and less confrontational"?
