I am not convinced that your (possible) answer is compatible with "We are at war and I am a soldier - now you too will taste the reality of this situation." - Mohammad Sidique Khan (7/7 Bomber)?
Apparently he was "a quiet, studious boy who was never in trouble but was sometimes bullied. Friends from his teenage years recall a highly Westernised young man who insisted on being called "Sid". After school, he worked in low-level government clerical jobs before leaving to study for a degree in business studies at Leeds Metropolitan University. "
Sadly your and my 'fix' is unlikely to be a fix for everybody. The 'fix solution' makes a very large assumption about shared values across the world.
- brador 10y agoEvery group has crazies and outliers, we can minimze their damage but they will always exist. Just because he made a statement doesn't mean it applies to anyone more than him. From his description it is likely he was suffering from depression. He found a hook and tried to get out of the spiral by joining something he felt gave his life meaning and friendship. Just like someone joining AA, just like someone joining a local church or synagogue group. Sometimes people are desperate to just be with and around other people and they'll take what they can get. With better mental health resources he would hopefully have been helped before he got to that state. Remember, no monsters, just people.
