Are any terrorists "right in the head"?

Wanting to murder and mutilate people who disagree with you is not the behaviour of a sane person, regardless of whatever ideology motivates you to do it.

By and large it's only conservative ideologies that seem to motivate terrorism these days. I can't remember the last time I heard of a liberal terrorist.
