A lot more Muslims who commit terrorist acts pretend to be mentally ill, thinking that in the western nations, the mentally ill evade justice.
The trouble to that scheme is that the US had a big run of criminals trying that same gambit in the 1960s and 1970s, so by the 1980s, it became exceedingly hard to get declared not guilty by reason of insanity. The US even created the “guilty but insane” plea, recognizing that even mentally ill people might willingly and knowingly break the law.
So, at least here, one of the *worst* things that can happen to a terrorist is to be declared insane. This means they can be put in an asylum and drugged for 23 hours a day, being awake just long enough to eat, poop and shower.
And here I was thinking that mental instability is their default state! LOL

Yes, but Islam also CAUSES mental illness, so...
