The idea that many of these Muslim killers have no ties to militant Islamic groups is actually more worrisome than if they did have those ties. Because it means that the ideology itself is sufficient to cause violence. It isn’t because they fell in with the wrong people, who encourage them to violence and shore up their resolve to become martyrs—it’s because the ideology itself precipitates violent thought and action.

Bingo... the lapsed moose-limbs who have 'nothing to do with islam' actually present some of the biggest potential dangers. Most moose-limbs want to have nothing to do with their perverted 'religion' but it rears its ugly head later in life to make them suddenly realize that 'all their past sins can be forgiven' with one final jihadist act that takes them to glory. I highly suspect that the MO for the Munich killer is exactly the same as the Orlando killer. Pray that enough of them will find Christ to start a movement that steers them away from islam. It's the only hope.
