You get criminals and other shty people who "convert" to islam. Islam has encouraged this by targeting that demographic.
Islam is viewed as a violent rejection of the west more than anything else, and these people want to reject the west. They like Islam, because they see Islam as violent, and that's what they are. They will use something like "Syria" as a false justification for things they already wanted to do.
I suspect the guy with the knife is one of these. I don't think he gives a fk about Syria, he just needed an excuse.
I could be wrong.
I can't believe a real terrorist would be so dum,it honestly makes no sense,they usually go about very underground and silent about such things.
To post your intentions on social media in this day and age?:wtf:
People do that all the time, actually. Can't seem to help themselves. I'm sure there are psychologists who would say that deep down they wanted to get caught and be the centre of attention more than anything else.
Same thing happened with quite a few people who wanted to shoot up schools. They get hold of a gun and ammo. They build pipe bombs. They have ample opportunity to carry out an attack, but instead they continue to post online about what they are going to do. It gets investigated, and they get arrested.
Then again, sometimes they get away with posting online like that and they do manage to carry out attacks and those posts are discovered later. I guess it's just part of the "escalation" phase of some of these people.
