I never suggested there was any sort of 'excuse' for such vile, evil behavior.
I think HOZ might have been suggesting that "oppression" is not the real reason why these people turn to terrorism, since they were middle class. (Common belief among lefties is that terrorism is somehow our fault as we're the oppressors.)

EDIT: Sorry for the double post.
