Ron didn't say they had "a good excuse". That's just putting words in his mouth.
He said that they had motives (as do most Murderers) which could be rationally examined (which is what Detectives do) -- they didn't just wake up one morning and decide to hijack some airliners 'cause their favorite nightclub closed early the night before.
63 Muslim countries (as defined by the CIA) from Afghanistan to Zanzibar, without a single 9/11 WTC (non-hijacker) fatality.
4 Muslim countries with 9/11 WTC fatalities:
Indonesia (92% Muslim) 1 dead
Lebanon (75% Muslim) 3 dead
Nigeria (75% Muslim) 1 dead
Usbekistan (88% Muslim) 1 dead
Giving a grand total of 6 fatalities from møøselimb countries.
Just for comparison: 140 Israelis died in the rubble of the WTC...
A reasonable person might conclude from this that a lot of møøselimbs had forewarning and did nothing to about the impending mass murder, except avoid the target areas.
YMMV
The more I understand islam,
the better I like my dog.
