New OKC was done by a home-grown terrorist
and was never considered a "target" by the local population for anything. I mean, other than the federal building there, what can you strike at that will draw the attention of the country? The state capital while in session? Anything else? I can't think of any other choices. The locals probably didn't think "I'm safe because they cannot reach me" but more along the lines of "I'm safe because there's nothing here to target".

Whereas NYC stands as Exhibit A for everything that "The Great Satan" represents to the Islamic world - capitalism, arrogance, self-promotion, a regular Sodom and Gamorrah, etc. etc. etc.

New And a large and powerful Jewish community.
To quote an Egyptian school girl on 9/11, "I hope there were a lot of jews in those buildings".

Of course one victim of the attack was a vault full of priceless antique Islamic prayer rugs, but those who don't value human life can't be expected to value art.

New Still, they value the relics of their religion
I mean, when we bomb a mosque, the hew and cry is that we're "defiling the institutions of Islam" or some such tommyrot.

Hypocrites are hypocrites, no matter what their "religious affiliation"
