I'm not doubting it was a good book. But the topic in which he chose to write about seems loose. The equivalent of the book that you are describing would be something like "Earthquakes: Why I Can't Stop Them". Why publish/read a book containing nothing more than a "why we should be punished" theme. But that's another topic.

Anyone can right a book about why they think these people hate us. The real answer lies, obviously, in their beliefs. I believe, for instance, that a variant of the religion, combined with their economic state and a hint of pure hatred caused the September attack. The most important part, of course, is the hatred. I give no merit to any person, group or Religion that agrees killing humans is acceptable.

So, when you think about it, we don't need other reason in your book or otherwise. Ignore everything about the religion, the country, the economic stand point, everything. Just focus in on that one person. If a person, for whatever reason, justifies killing, they are wrong.

I agree on this being burnt out. People, in my eyes, try to delve into the minds of these people too much. You can't diagnose hatred.
