“Boston Bombers’ Motivations No Mystery”

SNIPPET: “As investigators continue to search for possible accomplices in the Boston Marathon bombings, and clues as to how Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were radicalized enough to commit violence, two writers say one mystery is obvious.
The embrace of a radical Islamist ideology was central to the attack, which mirrored plans spelled out in al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula’s Inspire magazine, academic Jeffrey M. Bale and Muslim physician Qanta Ahmed write in separate columns.
“[T]hey had embraced a radical Islamist ideology that enjoined them to wage armed jihad against the ‘infidel’ enemies of Islam,” writes Bale, director of the Monterey Terrorism Research and Education Program, in a column for the U.S. Naval Institute. “It hardly matters why the Tsarnaev brothers became disgruntled or angry—people can become disgruntled and angry for a vast array of both legitimate and delusional reasons. What matters is that this underlying emotional attitude made them receptive to and ultimately caused them to embrace Islamist doctrines, which offered them an explicit, coherent, and theologically sanctioned justification for perpetrating violence.”
Ahmed, writing in the New York Post, agrees.”
