#2 And in Denmark 70% of the rapes are by Muslims (4%). At least in the year 700 they had enough courtesy to haul the Spanish women to North Africa before raping them.

#3 Menad had quit his job by then and was dismissed from a string of others. In 1995, he left for Syria to study Arabic and the Koran. He spent several months in Sudan, where the Al Qaeda network was coalescing. He returned to Venissieux in 1996 a bearded fundamentalist.

Hi, I'm Sally Struthers. Are you a loser? Total incompetent? Well, "The Imam Jihadi Syrian-Sudan Institute for Holy Men and Window Washing" might be the chance to break out of your rut and help you break into the growing field of Islamic scholar. Have the respect of your peers! Meet chicks! Kill the infidel! Drive a Corvette!

#4 On his fifth trip there, Croatian soldiers seized him and two other men from Venissieux and held them in brutal conditions for five months. He returned with even stronger religious convictions and began preaching in the ground-floor activity room of his apartment block, which became known as the Abu Bakr mosque. His sermons took on an increasingly radical tone.

It would come as no surprise if someone, somewhere, was the catalyst that hastened this guy on his path towards extremism via words put into his head.

#5 And just remember, kids...wait for it...

The family that slays together, stays together.

I'm so sorry. I couldn't resist.
