Might catch flack for this, but religious fanatics.

Most of them are poor, desperate, or mentally ill and they're being used by the people above them for money and power.

...obviously I don't mean the Boston Bomber, I mean the poor kids indoctrinated into places like the WBC or Scientology or radical Islam who haven't murdered a bunch of people

No, I know what you mean, and that's a good point. People don't always realize that there's people who've literally never heard of any other notions, or if they have, they've been told they're of the devil (or whatever else). While I don't think she was in a cult like the WBC, I had a friend whose dad called her and made her promise she wasn't out with a boy. She was twenty. It was totally normal to her. I can only imagine what it's like for people who are even more sheltered.

Granted, I wouldn't want that to be posed as a good thing, but.

I do think there's a fair amount of difference between posing it as a good thing and just showing these people as victims of manipulation.

ayrt

Yes, this. By redeeming I mean pointing out that their ignorance is due to that ignorance being enforced on them by other people. Not making them into heroes but making them into people who bully and hate but because they were also victimized. They're ignorant because they were kept ignorant by someone more powerful

AYRT - What I figured you meant. And yeah, I agree that even IRL this is probably often the case.
