The burden of proof doesn't lie on the voice of skepticism.
I think it's condescending to Islamic terrorists to pretend that their attacks are an illness rather than a calculated move to further the goals of their thoughtful interpretation of Islamic scripture: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-is...
It's also hurtful to the real mentally ill people, who overwhelmingly are a danger to themselves, to lump them in with murderers.
