You must have heard by now that several of the people identified as the likely London bombers were typical disaffected youth.

They apparently took up islam fervently in mid-late teenagehood, and fell off the deep end. It makes me wonder: what is it about islam that is so suitable for taking unhappy young people and turning them into monsters? Is it the same thing that formed the Hitlerjugend? Mao’s “Red Guards”? Criminal gangs?

Chrenkoff has something similar to say.
