I don't think this is a slam at Catholics. I think it's meant to point out that this guy isn't an Arab and he isn't a lifelong Moslem, he's a [somewhat] normal American who chose to become an Islamic terrorist.

Understand, if you're a big tough gang-banger, Islam must hold a tremendous appeal, because Islam is the biggest and toughest gang of them all, and better yet it gives you a free pass to rob and kill all those infidels out in Dar al-Harb.

I respectfully put forth that Islam is not nearly the toughest gang of them all. The USA is a much tougher gang. For that matter, the British, French, Germans, Russians and Chinese are each probably tougher.

I think that's the key to the success of Islam. Muslims are free to wage war against "infidels" whenever the Islamic world is "attacked." And Muslims must submit (Islam means submission) to the religious/civil authorities. It's an ideal religion for aspiring dictators, as can be seen by the number of dictatorships throughout the Muslim world.
