Why would Al Qaeda target the most Islamist-sympathetic city in all of America?

with all these terror alerts, I keep thinking about one of my favorite stories as a kid: The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

"Why would Al Qaeda target the most Islamist-sympathetic city in all of America?" My guess is because they are easily penetrated and by nature of their politics, like Boston, they are less able to sense clear and present danger such as the Marathon Bombers.

Blue states have a global reputation for weakness. Thus, AQ views them as easy targets. Notice how AQ attacks cities mainly in blue states, most notably during 9/11 and the Boston bombings.

Dhimmis are expendable in the cause of jihad, don'tchaknow. They're also soft targets.

Because Moslems absolutely hate homos.

Of course, hatred is pretty much their game all around.

If they have to pick, why not a place famous for one of Islam’s most despised sins?

There’s plenty of cities vying for that position. Like New York City.
