where investigators often rely on outdated demographic profiles

If only 1% of the Muslims in Germany are converts, the "outdated demographic profiles" used for terrorism cases would be appear to have some life left in them.

Islam isn't a "religion."

It is a Pagan Death Cult.

I’ve had a few conversations with Muslim converts from western nations on the internet. This has led me to a hypothesis.

It would seem that violent prone mentally unstable people with anti social criminal tendencies prefer to think of themselves as pious and religious instead of dangerous and crazy.

Thus it is that violent prone mentally unstable people with anti social criminal tendencies prefer to convert to Islam rather than admit to themselves what they are really.

On the flip side, I wonder how many of these “converts” are actually Western intelligence agents? By having to rely on Westerners to carry out these attacks, these groups are opening themselves up to massive infiltration.

A lot of these westerners in name only were taught to hate Western civilization. They are violence-prone and good followers. Their great hope used to be communism. But Islamofascism is also an attractive way for such people to belong to a radical mass movement and channel their hate. You will notice that such converts do not become “moderate” Muslims, whatever that means. No, they convert one day and are building bombs the next, eager to prove that they are more pure and radical than OBL himself. Besides, Islamofascism promises them an eternity in Paradise raping children. What Marx and Lenin offer these savages pales in comparison, so we will see an explosion of Islamofascist converts (pun intended).

I have to wonder about the psychological make-up of these conversts.

I've long thought that even the muslim-born jihadists are sociopaths for whom the main attraction of Islam is that it gives them the opportunity to commit murder and mayhem while using religion as psychological cover for their insanity.

Well, that's what it did for Mohammed. It also permitted him to redefine his tribal (Arab) history of robbery and looting as a spiritual quest.

Makes me wonder why our government allows Saudi Arabia to send “missionaries” to our prisons.....

A crazy person will easily blend into the Muslim landscape.

The NAZIS, the KKK, etc, etc, etc.....

The history of humanity is peppered with groups that have been built on hatred and death. Islam is just another one. Islam should be treated like the other groups I mention above. Destroyed.

Very good point. Especially if the 'converts' claim they were previously members of some European terrorist organizations, like Red Army Faction, Baader Meinhoff Gang, or some others from the 70's and 80's, or were allied with them in some way.

There is no doubt that Islam attracts pathological personalities and those that despise Western culture; however, I suspect that the lack of any spiritual foundation for most of European society attracts a significant number of people to Islam. People need more than the hedonistic philosophy of European society. Many are looking for something to believe in.
