I was mercilessly bullied as a child. Theoretically, I should not be allowed near a knife. However I have gone a soild 32 years now without killing anyone, this is because I was discipline as a child also taught self-control and awareness of my emotions.

Bleeding heart liberals.

plus the run-of-the-mill suicide bomber, who hates himself having been a toy (as a young boy, dressed up as a girl) for a Muslim “man”, you know, the outgrowth of the “religion of peace”, validated by W.

I recall when Oliver Stone wrote his foam-flecked interpretation of 9/11 as a rebellion against Hollywood censorship, Mark Steyn’s response was, “Poor old Ollie, unable to make sense of the world except through the prism of his own narcissism.”

This is something like that.

It’s amazing that a person can devote careful analysis to these set of facts and conclude, “this is the result of bullying,” with all the implications of Columbine, etc, and not “we shouldn’t be letting terrorists go back into enemy territory.”

It’s even more amazing that they think that a jihadist kamikaze bomber has much in common with solipsistic depressive Western suicide and nothing at all in common with imams. As the article says, “the calculus is simple,” based on a few data points and a preformulated conclusion.

Balawi was like many Internet trolls, launching fierce attacks from the safety of his own computer, overcompensating for his weaknesses and anxieties in the real world.

Ha. Too easy. See you all next thread.

So if we don’t stop bullies, the terrorists win?

Even at his strongest, Balawi was like many Internet trolls, launching fierce attacks from the safety of his own computer, overcompensating for his weaknesses and anxieties in the real world. By the end, he was just a scared and broken man with a suicide vest—hobbling on a crutch, looking for a way out.

And remember, suicide bombing has absolutely NOTHING to do with Islam or jihad. Nothing at all.
