...Holtzbergs and their companions were slain because they were Jewish, and these terrorists hated Jews. Yet Jews were not the attacks’ only victim. These extremists also hated India—for its majority Hindu population, for its stance on Kashmir, and for the strength of democracy. These terrorists despised everything Western. That is why they killed the American tourist and his 13-year-old daughter who ate supper in a local café.
