Okay, good to know. It just wasn't clear who you meant by "the attackers" in your post, and some might take it to mean "the Middle East" in general (which would be incorrect), and others might see it as Al Qaeda criminals specifically. Just wanted to clarify.
I would say that you know a little more about "Middle-Eastern culture" (if such a thing can be labeled under one term) than most, and that's a good thing. I knew very little back then myself, and am still learning a ton from being married to ktsp. Of course, he's not really Muslim, so I understand more about Lebanese culture/politics in general than Islam in particular... but that's another story.
