Those places do have a history of being the initiating points for jihad.
The references are justified.

my point is they've described something that ordinary devout muslims do
they go on pilgrimage. Parents at my local school do this. I know this because we recently had an assembly and Muslim parents came in and talked about going to Mecca.
The FBI has decreed this suspicious. What's the contentious bit I'm saying here?

No, nothing i can see where you are coming from.
These things are written by people who have been involved in/seen some really bad stuff. What they are writing is correct and they are right that we should note the subtle things they listed. It's just when what they have written is read by those people outside of the 'really bad stuff' business it doesn't come across very well and can be interpreted as being vaguely racist or overtly fearful of specific groups.
The west is generally a very nice safe place, but there are some terrorists living there who need to be stopped.
