Zombie Army in Form of 'Nice Kids'

THEY appeared, by and large, to be normal kids - right up until the moment they plotted to blow thousands of people into oblivion.

"Outward impressions with certain people who have a disconnect, a fracture if you will, in their makeup don't necessarily mean a lot," said Dr. Allan Manevitz, a leading psychiatrist at Weill-Cornell Medical Center.

"There are serial killers with mothers who love them and who love their mothers."

The British terror suspects were soccer fans, and largely polite.

One of them was Brian Young, 28, who changed his name to Umar Islam after converting two to three years ago.

With human time bombs, it's us or them!

[vladimir998]

They're Muslims. Hello! They're M-U-S-L-I-M-S. Why is anyone surprised they wanted to murder innocent people?

Why do people act as if this is shocking? Didn't we learn this lesson the hard way years ago?

Sorry to say it, but young men who have recently converted to Islam would be on my watch list.

[JillValentine]

Time to destroy the zombie army!

[Not A Snowbird]

Snort!

Good one.

"Sorry to say it, but young men who have recently converted to Islam would be on my watch list."

Adam Gadahn (the American al Qaeda). John Reid (the Shoe Bomber). Joel Heinrichs (the Oklahoma football bomber). John Malvo (the Beltway Sniper). John Walker Lindh (the Marin jihadi).

And now this Brian Young person.

Gosh, I don't see any common thread, do you? It couldn't possibly be that they were all fairly recent converts to Islam. No, that's the Religion of Peace. Must be something else.

[Lancey Howard]

These "kids" had no genuine religious convictions - - they were in it for the thrill and for the celebrity. 'Natural Born Killers' meets reality.

Muslim converts, proportionally, seem to be more fanatical than Muslims by tradition. Though the same could be stated for Christian converts and those who are nominal Christians but are probably not Christian at all (lots in Europe and even the United States).

However, Christians aren't out to murder people.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

For the Christians in the comment, they are not fanatical, but devout. Devout could have been used in lieu of fanatical.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

On the contrary, they seem to be devout Muslims.

In Greece, back on the early 70's, it was the rich kids who were the communists. I always thought it was odd that they hated their wealth. Guess they didn't have anything to compare it to.

[RegulatorCountry]

Are you familiar with the phrase "with all the zeal of a convert?" They're young Turks, so to speak, out to prove themselves.

So what? So is this guy:

What kind of idiot supposes that because someone likes a particular sport that person therefore could not be a murderous scum?

Castro liked baseball. Bin Laden reportedly enjoyed cricket. The Nazis were certainly big on sports. No doubt there were sports that Stalin and Mao especially liked.

[Aussie Dasher]

Yep. Stalin and Mao particularly enjoyed killing people. To them, it was great sport!

[martin_fierro]

[Fred Nerks]

and in France they play muslim baseball...

[Lurker]

We are talking about a bizarre and inexplicable phenomena

Bizzare? Yes. Inexplicable? Not at all.

We are either going to have to rewrite the whole book on human behavior...

Apparently the author isn't very familiar with the history human behavior.

I don't know who this guy is, but he's not that bright. The nice thing about his writing is that he doesn't make the reader waste a lot of time figuring that out.

don't be sorry, bobber, they are being recruited in and from many of our prisons,... it gives them purpose, ya know to be a jihadist vs. a garden variety gang banger...:|

[nopardons]

LOL...well done.
