The left's concern about the sensitivity of terrorists

Red States:
No, Terror Sympathizers, Restricting Refugees Does Not Help ISIS

...
Of course, the underlying fallacy is that ISIS and its supporters are motivated by actions of the West. Not a single scholarly examination of radical Islamic terrorism, particularly of ISIS has shown this to be the case. The grievances against the West used by al Qaeda are historical and have nothing to do with assimilation of the Muslim diaspora in Europe, but their motivation is the establishment of a space where a pure Islam can be practiced.

This entire argument is dishonest. If accommodating Muslims in Europe had any impact whatsoever on ISIS, there wouldn’t be an ISIS. This is simply an ad hominem that seeks to equate caution about accepting tens of thousands of people from an area infested with terrorism with bigotry. It should be dismissed as such and anyone making the argument labels themselves as egregious douche.
I would add the left's argument against Gitmo to this narrative.  The terrorist reasons for wanting to commit mass murder is wrapped in their religious bigotry and their anger and resentment directed toward those who reject their weird beliefs.
