According to Jill Filipovic, such speculation is just heartless:
This is so dumb. If we want to fight terrorism, not helpful to assume all terrorists are inhuman & emotionless. https://t.co/qAuzVNFFD3

Short version:
People who commit bloody massacres have feelings, toohttps://t.co/qklZFatpi0

Terrorists have feelings too!!! —@JillFilipovic, saying you can't call someone that slaughters 14 people "inhuman" https://t.co/MncDnAyrSP

No, no @RobProvince. Terrorists are mad because we're mean @JillFilipovic. Jazz hands everybody!

They chose a murder spree over their own 6 mo. old child. You don't think that's a little inhuman & emotionless? https://t.co/07YOE1Wcgy

It’s not an assumption. It’s a conclusion. https://t.co/LNfIKzbEum

Also not helpful to assume all people should have access to Twitter. Jesus, what a lunatic. https://t.co/tnJeVLBBOP

OK Toots, why don't you fly to Raqqa, get to know them & report back as soon as you can. I https://t.co/2oboqFpCq1

Yes, I'm sure a blogger that is often wrong knows more than a former FBI profiler https://t.co/fgIsixqFV3

Conversely, has anyone ever heard of a "humane and emotional" terrorist? https://t.co/1PO4mm05K4

No pro-lifer would have this reaction to reading about people who abandoned their baby to commit a suicidal attack. https://t.co/87MuvEaqZu

Filipovic tried to explain further:
Guys. Not saying terrorists aren't evil. I am saying it's valuable to understand their motives instead of painting them as cartoon villains.
— Jill Filipovic (@JillFilipovic) December 4, 2015
Unfortunately the “cartoon” is playing out in real life:
Terrorists aren't "cartoon villains." They are actual villains. https://t.co/7QlxmJD9Cg

I might buy into this, except for the MSM's near-total refusal to look at the Islamic elephant in the living room. https://t.co/ROrDZfRmyu

Attempting to extinguish terrorism by bashing the NRA and fighting “climate change.” What could go wrong?
