They look forward to visiting the 'after death'.http://news.sky.com/story/aaron-driver-detonated-b...
Imagine the disappointment when all it turned out to be was the roof lining of a taxi.

Agree - there's no mention in that report of mental health issues, and I think using that, even though I know you're using it cynically, does no favours to mental health by associating the lack of the word terrorist [
I think it's fairly obvious this guy had issues.
Turning to Islamic terrorism was some kind of way out of the issues he had - his own father says he went down a dark path.
As with many of these kind of cases, if it wasn't an Islamic cause they claimed to support, it would be some other fringe group.

ISIS are just the latest group who will appeal to and prey on vulnerable cases like this.
It's just the group he fell into - it could easily have been a white supremacist group with a penchant for mass shootings. When you're dealing with someone who has obviously some mental instability, you cannot predict where they will turn - but it will usually be the first group to make them feel wanted.

Sure, but if he'd just taken up role playing games or sitting in his bedroom building a Minecraft empire - the more usual retorts of a shy, troubled teenager - it's very unlikely he'd have ending his days by detonating himself in the back of someone's cab.Turning to Islamic terrorism was some kind of way out of the issues he had - his own father says he went down a dark path.

As I posted - it could have been much worse if the white supremacists / Nazis had got to him first - we'd have been looking at a mass shooting rampage, as that's their preferred course over the suicide bomb.Trabi601 said:

Yes, because there haven't been many Islamic mass shootings recently have there.- bangs head against wall*
It doesn't matter who it was - someone was going to appeal to him and give him a way out.
Some posters are so blinkered by their anti Muslim bias they can't see the true picture.
I find myself agreeing with Trabi on this one and a lot of threads TBH. There are terrorists in the OBL/ISIS mold who have a clear political/religious reasoning behind their actions and there are "terrorists" who are the type who would be going postal in America , shooting Labour MP's for Britain First or shooting the president to get the attention of Jodi Foster if they didn't have access to the internet and the media's 24HR coverage of Islamic Terror and hung their hat on that instead.
Not that it matters which one kill you- you're just as dead, but in terms of where to focus attention and resources it's the well funded and organised element which presents the important risk to our society, not the lone nutter who we will never eliminate from society.

Take the Islam out of this.
Why? He did it in the name of Islam. As with all the recent similar episodes. It's very convenient for Muslim apologists to tell us to 'take Islam out of this', because Islam is the cause. Sorry.Take the Islam out of this.

This is a kid with mental health issues who turned to the first fringe group who'd make him feel welcome.

And surprise surprise, it just happened to be Islam, and not just any bit of Islam, but the bit that wants people to blow themselves up while mursering innocent civilians. If that's uncomfortable for anyone - tough.It doesn't matter who it was - someone was going to appeal to him and give him a way out.

I am far from anti-Muslim. But the 'true picture' is that it is Islam that is responsible for the bulk of this type of activity and it's been that way for a long time now. It is not anti-Muslim to say so, and it is not anti-Muslim to point out when it is the case. When Jews or Hindus start murdering civilians as prolifically, I'll have the same to say about that too.
