Terrorists 'Normal': Suicide bombers fit their culture, psychiatrist says
And I knew a psychologist who told me over 18 years ago that most Middle Eastern Muslim/Arab males would test out as being clinically insane. Yeah, so they're "normal" in their culture. Big deal. It's when they're trying to blow up other peoples' cultures that their normality become pathological. I mean, what pathogenic bacteria and intestinal parasites do is normal behavior for pathogenic bacteria and intestinal parasites--but that doesn't mean we have to accept it or try to understand it or otherwise put up with it. And the same goes for the suicide bombers and for the culture that helps shape them.

Normal means average. If an individual is compared to the norm in a dangerous deviant society, then only deviants are normal. That society needs to be incarcerated.
