    Attempts to blame nebulous "foreign" influence for these attacks is a way to deny the peculiarly American pathologies that give rise to them

        Same was done after the Boston bombing; we later learned that Dzhokhar was the product of a quintessentially American experience.

        Even to the degree that belief in Islam motivated his actions -- American Islam can take on its own peculiarly American pathologies.

        None of this is to deny that foreign-originating influences might have impinged on him -- just that they fuse with American influences.

        Nor is it to deny that religious belief might've impelled him to do this. Anyone who'd flatly reject that prospect is a weird denialist.

        He reportedly made pilgrimage to Mecca and was described by a friend as "quite religious." Doesn't make him any less "American."

        Yeah, this analysis would not apply to someone like Atta.

        that is an idiotic argument; the foreign influence of islamist ideology is the chief cause of these attacks

        This is for Americans to say. Why I'm keeping rather mum on this today. That, & I prefer to tweet data, not poli.

        Not all..."quintessentially American" obviously means black tracksuits and portraits of Ruslan Baysarov.
