Paris bomber Ibrahim Abdeslam smoked cannabis every day while he stayed at home listening to Arabic hip hop and claiming unemployment benefits, his former wife has said.

Ibrahim, 31, blew himself up outside the Comptoir Voltaire Café on Friday, injuring three people and killing himself.

His former wife, Niama, has revealed that during their two year marriage, from 2006 to 2008, her husband smoked three or four joints a day and stayed at home watching DVDs or listening to music, according to the MailOnline.

She also said he was not interested in current affairs and never watched the news because they did not have a TV, but she claims he “had no gripe with the West”.

So ... it was not personal. He was only fulfilling the tenants of his chosen religion. I understand.

Well obviously he didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

And if he did inadvertently kill someone its not Islam’s fault.

Yeah thats it.

Uh, huh. Anyone know the origins of the word “assassin”. That’s right. I know you could.

So is she blaming weed or Arabic hip hop (vile enough to commit suicide over I suppose) or both?

Real winner.

I'd guess it went something like: No direction in life. Gets bored. Decides he's a victim because his life has no meaning. Finds real Islam. Kills people.

but she claims he “had no gripe with the West”.

Until they cut off his unemployment benefits? Then he decided to kill us all. Typical leech.

And the Daily Mail stated that his ex-wife said he smoked HASHISH, NOT pot, every day.

Gee, only seven years between when they split up and when he became a terrorist. She should certainly know his state of mind at that point. /sarcasm
