I'd say the average suicide attacker
is fairly unintelligent, or at best deluded. But they're part of a complex political machine, and at the top are very intelligent, very savvy people who stand to gain a lot of power if they can fracture the west along religious lines. The Charlie Hebdo attackers may well have not understood the impact of their actions, but there's no reason why they couldn't have been acting on the orders of someone who does, or fulfilling the obligations that person convinced them they have.
They're terrorists. They perpetrate acts of terror. "Freak people out and incite conflict" is pretty much their job description. Not explaining the Evil Master Plan to every goon working under you is just Villainy 101.

It’s because the western world cares more about the deaths of white people on their doorstep at the hands of terrorists than black people who live thousands of miles away.

And minus the racial subtext, I'd say that's pretty much fine. I doubt anyone in Nigeria cares about a shooting in France, either.

Listen, I know you think that, and I know Nepsotic is not racist, yet somehow he is getting all the bashing instead of you folks (well, technically not anymore) doing the same thing in opposite direction.

Sorry, I'll start complaining about people being too unracist from now on.
