Radical Islamists hate everybody, not just America

At least 49 people are dead, and scores injured, from a terrorist attack in New Delhi, India. The "coordinated explosions" interrupted city-wide preparations for a major Hindu festival, and it also seems to coincide with a possible thaw in relations between India's long-time enemy, Pakistan. Powerline has an insightful point about terrorism:

Liberals often argue that the Islamists' hatred of Christians is explained by policies of the American government, and, likewise, their hatred of Jews has its origins in Israel's purported misdeeds. It is always worth remembering that they hate Hindus, too. The fact is, they hate pretty much everyone. It has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with them.

As I've said before, when the left pulls the "they have grievances" card in defense of the terrorists, it's important to note that Saudi Arabia's strict and unorthodox brand of Islam contributes far more to Muslim sympathy of terror than any policies of the West. And their ideology of hatred extends past the Judeo-Christian West to Hindus and anyone else who doesn't accept their radicalism.

Three teenage Christian girls were beheaded and a fourth was seriously wounded in a savage attack on Saturday by unidentified assailants in the Indonesian province of Central Sulawesi.

The girls were among a group of students from a private Christian high school who were ambushed while walking through a cocoa plantation in Poso Kota subdistrict on their way to class, police Major Riky Naldo said.
