#1 I wonder how many of these just "drank the kool-ade" of post-modern culture and figured that turning muzzie boomer was the practical way to achieve their goal of ending Western Civ.

#2 Age, sex, ethnicity, education and economic status have become more and more irrelevant.

They left out "religion". I wonder why.

#3 Converts, while the among the most stupidly enthusiastic, are both few and far between and have a habit of becoming known to the local authorities before they can do much mischief.

In fact this is why they have such a high profile. Not because they can slip past security, but because they are taken up long before they actually do anything.

The most effective terrorists are the ones that look like everybody else.

#5 It is even narrower: the worse are the "liberated" muslims who suddenly have a return to faith. They feel they have sinned in their years of "infidelhood" and fear going to hell. That is when they remind that Islam has an infallible way to go to paradise whatever your sinns or crimes

#6 Maybe the Dutch police could start looking at airline passengers who have missing fingers or burns (bomb makers), pay cash for an airline ticket at the last minute rather than buy a promotion, are lovey/dovey outside but do not know one another at the ticket counter, do not have family meet them at the gate, or see them off on the trip, don't check in any luggage, or don't pick up any luggage, and do some honest police work.
