The Obama administration thinks he just needed better job opportunities.

I hope Lucas gets his azz capped soon. I wish the same for all terrorists.

Yeah, it's a friggin mystery. Another mystery is why Mommy Dearest isn't worried her son might butcher innocent people.

They have some kind of issues with rational thought processes, that’s for sure.

Christian renegades were an important element in the constant wars between the Cross and crescent in the Mediterranean. Many possessed needed technical skills which aided the Moorish sea rovers in improving ship construction and cannon casting. This phenomenon seems to be returning.

We have never had a more confused generation than this one and how can we blame them?

Schools can’t decide how to label bathrooms and kids are told it’s okay to dress as the other gender. “We” have told them there are no moral absolutes. The church appears lost, parents often impart little discipline, and most are consumed with selfishness and consumerism. Everyone get’s a trophy for participating and we coddled them to death. They are subjected to thousands of hours of propoganda by the time they reach 20. Up is down and down is up.

Little doubt as to why they are so confused. Many kids are going to rebel in some way and look for another path as far from their elders as they can get. His dear mum is shocked, but I am not. I am surprised more kids are not going off the deep end. You can’t get much deeper than Jihad, but he won’t be the last.

Where was she and what was she doing when he was growing up? With a fulltime job, I was far from the best mother, but my sons joined the American military and, thank God, came home safe and sound. I can’t imagine the level of neglect and irresponsibility that would cause any mother’s son to join al queda.

Well, by definition they weren't Christians. You don't even need to go into the 'you will know them by their fruits' path. I suspect in these cases, as in the 'Director's son', they were brought up in a 'cultural Christian' environment - that is, celebrating Christmas and Easter, and attending church the perfunctory twice a year - but they never really believed.

Just like Great Britain might call itself a Christian nation - but that is just from its cultural heritage (Queen Victoria: 'Great Britain is great because of the Bible') but I suspect that the Christians in that land are probably in the sub-5%, or less range. Just living off the successes of a former people who really did believe and fear God. And 'Christian America' isn't much better. We're probably in the 20% range.

I'd just call them 'renegades' - or renegades and traitors to their Nations.

I agree with that.

IMO, being sexually rejected/neglected as a male leads to alienation from society and the illusion that he cannot assert himself due to an instinctual inability to pass his genes. Combine this with an inbred hatred of the footloose society that “even HE can’t get lucky in (despite its freedom)”, an undisciplined longing for the bliss religion usually attributes to chastity, and an obsession about the archetype of the martyr or the soldier, which can give an unfruitful or virgin life meaning beyond the selfish and even earthly life.

Combine this longing with religious fervor, inextricably mix them, and forget the unconscious reason for resorting to extremism. That’s how I tie that theory together. IMO We need to address this possible causality as a society; I believe it is more potent than many give it credit for, much more than unemployment or a loss of national identity.

This is a site many young people go on to post stuff (in the top 500 most visited sites in the country). Just go on this site and click “Catalog”, look around for a bit... this alone will help show how confused millenials are and why.

His father Patrick, son of a United Nations diplomat, started his movie career as an assistant director on the film 1984, and progressed through one of the Rambo films, Out Of Africa and Cry Freedom to working alongside Spielberg on Empire Of The Sun and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.

In addition to working on numerous other films and ITV police drama series The Bill, he was second assistant director on Braveheart and Chaplin.

She added that while Kinney was in Vienna with his father, she and her husband moved to Islamabad, Pakistan, leaving her two youngest in UK boarding schools, for her second husband's job with BA – but again were rocked by terror just after arriving.

His father said, 'His religion is very important to him'. He had a beard and the robes, it was quite obvious. After a while he moved out to live with friends. We didn't even really discuss it.'

If only the Brits had had mid night basketball none of this would have happened.

Obama is a lying bastard islamist.

POVERTY is not the cause of Islamonazism. Osama Bin Laden and Yassir Arafathead were both billionaires at the time of their deaths.
