I don't get it.

I've probably mentioned this before, but here's a puzzler:

It's a cardinal sin in the progressive weltanschauung to deny someone the validity of their own narrative.

Unless their narrative is "I'm doing this for Islam and the caliph!"

You are what you identify as, unless what you identify as is a jihadi, in which case you are troubled and misled and it's probably backlash and Western imperialist society's fault somehow.
