Radicalized Muslims do rant against Western values and one of the biggest marketers of these is our movies and books. They like to target symbols of our culture/society like the Twin Towers, Pentagon, White House, Liberty Bell, etc.

I am far less fearful in the Villages than in Orlando, Tampa Bay, etc. I also believe that the terrorists go against targets which make them look good to the people in ISIS and Al Qaeda. A bunch of seniors in a retirement community would not seem to be a high priority to ISIS leaders.

Some mentally deranged person might be more of a threat but these kind of attacks are very hard to predict as there is often little logic to them.

Perhaps you are giving terrorists too much credit. They don't need a reason to justify anything. Evil is evil.
