The 10 year old boy that was stabbed by a drunken British soldier however is the definition of an illegitimate target and you don't need to be a radicalized extremists to understand that.
You see it's the many injustices and double standards like this which fuels the hate towards the west, not to mention it's one of the best recruitment tools for the terrorists to radicalize normal decent Muslims!
Until we clean up our own act and stop having double standards horrific attacks like we saw the other day will sadly continue!
Violence begets violence
