Yes they want to keep foreigners out of Liberty, but taking the fight to the enemy is a valid tactic. It's not like we've never heard of terrorist organisations launching attacks against Countries (so houses or factions in disco), who's presence they want out of their homeland, on said countries home soil....
It's like a US militia group, fighitng for the purity of the US, going and bombing France to stop French wine from coming into the United States. It's like the KKK attacking the Vatican because they don't like Catholics in the US. The Xeno's have a much bigger beef with the government of Liberty. It's like the FA going into Liberty to hunt down Synth transports. It just doesnt make sense with the long standing RP of the faction. An argument can be made for any faction to go anywhere in Disco, but those days are long over. Lets not go back to them.
Yet different from Al-Qaeda (and many other extremist groups) bombing the US and UK to name a few, for wanting them to withdraw their presence in the territories they operate?
It is the difference between nationalist terrorism and and what might be called religious or ideological terrorism. Al-Queda or Hezbollah don't have a single country they are affileated with or are protecting. Look more along the model or nationalist terror groups and you will find the roots of the Xenos. The KKK in the US, the Basque movement in Southern France and Northern Spain, The Tamel Tigers of Sri Lanka, The Irgun and Lehi in British Mandatory Palistine, and the IRA in Ireland.
These groups are and were nationalist terrorist orginizations and they were and are focused on liberating or causing specific conditions in a specific area. These group are much more consistant with the Xenos than Al-Queda groups would be. These groups wouldnt go looking for a fight that does not have to do with it's goals and is not in it's area. British companies go into Southern France and Northern Spain all the time, but that doesnt mean the Basque would target them all in England and certainly not all over the world.
Looking at the Xenos as some kinda Al QUeda terror group is totally misunderstanding the Xenos.
