#1 "you can kill someone with a credit card"

My, now, ex-wife taught me this about 30 yrs ago.

This does, indeed, ring true as a classic case. The cultists have long preyed upon this sort of person and the story adds yet another case confirming a pet theory that Islam is the classic bottom-feeder - and succeeds often by simply giving acceptance and direction to the lost and disillusioned.

The equation is deceptively simple: those societies which are not inclusive, which do not actively promote assimilation as opposed to the cancerous policies of multiculturalism, are the most fertile grounds for creating such potential recruits. In the case of Izzoids who peddle hatred of Amerika and Jooos, these societies are, effectively, our enemies.

That "Ahmed" didn't find fulfillment is the surprise here - indicating he didn't belong on the bottom with the losers. With different social policies, those that promote assimilation, "Ahmed" would never have been in the position to become fodder.

France put him there, yet he initially bought into the hate the US / Joos BS... The need for approval, acceptance, and belonging overwhelmed his intellectual ability to discriminate between the rational and irrational. That it appears to have been a temporary insanity is the exception and notable aspect of this story.

#3 I read the original, but I don't get the context of the story. Has Ahmed renounced terrorism? Is he helping authorities point out the baddies? CBS leaves us in limbo, which is why I just now change the channel when one of the big networks (plus BBC) start giving us stories that portray the "root causes" line. I remember the great ones like Cronkite, Huntley/Brinkley, HK Smith.

Today's Arab press, which is cited so often by the US media as a reliable gauge of the level of Anti-US feeling out there, would have no problem editorializing to its viewership if an Arab version of Roth were to follow around some luny American Nazi nut-case. Contemplation of one's navel can only get one so far.
