Yeah. I think that whilst people might be fussy on the details they know ISIS and others want complete destruction. They hate and destroy everything, little girls going to concerns anger them, satire angers them even works of Islamic architecture and art seems to anger them. They destroy historic moments in Syria. It's a complete black hole.
Very few people are actually thinking 'well, well are they bombing things!' but rather asking why do they want such destruction? As Osem says we have theories there too.
The answers though are harder.

Again to be fair the NYT are lower on the list of whose leaked the most on this issue. NBC have leaked details of the investigation, links to Libya and how they identified the bomber. CBS leaked the name. The U.S Government is leaking like crazy.

Yeah but it's one guy and I'm not totally sure he isn't talking more in depth. I.E What motivates him to follow such a destructive cause? He does later in the speech cite the other attacks in Europe for example so it's clear he knows what 'cause' that he drew from but is wondering why someone would follow it.
