When news comes of Muslims engaging in violence, politicians, law enforcement, and the media invariably presume that the perpetrator suffers from some mental or emotional incapacity. (For a quick listing of examples, see my collection at “Sudden Jihad or ‘Inordinate Stress’ at Ft. Hood?”)
Instead, they should begin with a presumption of jihadi intent. That is, the default expectation should be ideological passion, not insanity. Spreading Islam and applying Islamic law are the goals. Of course, some insane Muslims exist and they do engage in violence, but they constitute a microscopic percentage of the 15,247 Muslim terrorist incidents since 9/11, as counted here.
The failed effort to blow up an SUV in New York’s Times Square prompted speculation about the would-be bomber’s motives even before the identity of Faisal Shahzad, an immigrant from Pakistan, had been made public.

OR maybe they want to because it no longer is after Mr. Guiliani cleaned it up?
Because, it is HERE, and it is BIG!
The purpose is to maximize infidel casualties. You really don't have to look deeper than that.
For some liberals even that won't do it, hence the proliferation of the Troofers after 9/11. They'd rather cling to a narrative that makes them feel good than accept a distasteful fact that would save their lives.
I admit for a fleeting moment there I wondered...nah, it couldn't be!...a scam?
This video gives me chills.
