>What the EFF, and many others, get wrong is that this is terrorism aimed at the West because of 'our freedoms',

I'm not sure why that's relevant, I don't see anything like that in this article. I don't see any usage of words like 'freedom', 'islam', 'extremist', etc., either. As far as I can tell this article is neutral or just nonpresenting with regards to what you've mentioned.
