I'm not entirely sure how I would define my guiding motivation in life, but I swear "do no harm" would be part of it.

I despair at those who believe otherwise.

I'm not sure if I could keep a motivation like that if, for example, my family was killed by a drone strike.

Point taken, though many of those who are inspired to take up arms against innocent people have no such legitimate grievance.

What if your ideology believes that you should treat those killed by drones as your own family because you share the same ideology?

Did the people who they bombed operate drones? AFAIK, france doesn't conduct drone warfare.

It could be, I suppose, that someone could simply hate western culture due to the acts of one nation, but that doesn't make it right. If you hate all Muslims because of the acts of few, you're most likely in the wrong. The same morality should apply to the people on the other side.
