| | Ludwig von Mises points out in Human Action and in Epistemological Problems that we do not really know and actually do not care what the motive of the actor is
This seems to be a very anti-conceptual attitude (no surprise coming from libertarians) to ignore the motive behind an action is to sabatouge any long term rational effort you may have at A) preventing further attacks or B) erradicating the desire to commit terrorist attacks in a common meme group in the first place.
If you ignore the larger conceptual picture, that yes, while individual islamo-fascists committ terrorist attacks, it is the group idealogy as a whole that tends to support and promulgate the idea of attacking innocent people to further political goals, political goals, which I must remind you, are to create a global fundamentalist islamic dictatorship. This idealogy is primarily supported by a handful of majority arab / islamic states, most of which are brutal theocratic hell holes or dictatorships. Fighting terrorism must necessarily include fighting cultures that are the source of that terrorism. Getting rid of shitty murderous dictators which react to free speech by cutting out tongues is a good place to start.

To label people as death-deserving enemies because of disagreements about real world politics is bad enough. To do the same for disagreements about a delusional world inhabited by archangels, demons and imaginary friends is ludicrously tragic.
