‘Recent convert to Islam’ is arrested after bomb explosion in restaurant
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A Muslim convert with a history of mental illness who was preyed upon and radicalised injured himself yesterday after a device he was carrying exploded in a busy shopping centre in Exeter.
Nicky Reilly, 22, received serious facial injuries after the device went off at lunchtime in a family restaurant at the new £230 million Princesshay shopping centre. Another device was defused by bomb disposal teams.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mr Reillys neighbours described him as naive and easily lead.
Daniel Turner, 20, said: He is mentally ill and he probably has the mental age of a ten-year-old.
He changed his name to Mohammed Rasheed about a year ago at a registry office. He was brainwashed into becoming a Muslim by local men. He cant think for himself.”
Department of Redundancy ping.
OPINION: Yes, “mental illness” by mentally ill “looks like jihad to me* types seems to be the in thing these days.
Correction: *looks like jihad to me*
LOL!
It's now officially in the DSM IV.
