Most of the Muslims down here are quite religious.
That would be appear to be a reassuring sign rather than a worrying one. As the MI5 report says,
" ... there is little connection between religious piety and terrorism among Muslims A "restricted" report of hundreds of case studies by the domestic counter-intelligence agency MI5 found that
[f]ar from being religious zealots, a large number of those involved in terrorism do not practise their faith regularly. Many lack religious literacy and could actually be regarded as religious novices. Very few have been brought up in strongly religious households, and there is a higher than average proportion of converts. Some are involved in drug-taking, drinking alcohol and visiting prostitutes. MI5 says there is evidence that a well-established religious identity actually protects against violent radicalisation.[29]"

It's really funny because whenever terrorist are caught, they are often the pious type, at least in my region, it would be someone who prays 5 times a day, and refrain from alcohol and drugs, does not smoke etc, totally perfect and educated too, University educated. All the self-radicalized ones caught are often in this demographic, infact often is inaccurate. Let's put it this way, in my region, they are tapping onto self-radicalised individuals like crazy and making loads of arrests. Our laws can apprehend them without trial and put them in jail forever. And 100% of the time. These guys are web savvy and able to make contact with terrorists groups, hold high jobs and good education.
This is factually inaccurate; in other words you are lying.

quote:
"In general, suicide attackers are rarely socially isolated, clinically insane, or economically destitute individuals, but are most often educated, socially integrated, and highly capable people who could be expected to have a good future" (200). Pape discusses problems of data-gathering (201–02). He establishes 462 individuals in his "universe" of suicide terrorists available for analytical purposes (203). Hezbollah suicide bombers in the period 1982–1986 were 71% Communist/Socialist, 21% Islamist, 8% Christian (204–07). In general, suicide terrorists are in their early 20s (207–08). Females are fewer in Islamist groups: "Islamist fundamentalism may actually reduce the number of suicide terrorists by discouraging certain categories of individuals" (208–09). Female suicide terrorists tend to be older than male (209–10). There is no documented mental illness in any case of suicide terrorism, though there are 16 cases of personal trauma (e.g., the loss of a loved one) (210–11). Arab suicide terrorists are in general better educated than average and are from the working or middle classes (211–16). "[T]hey resemble the kind of politically conscious individuals who might join a grassroots movement more than they do wayward adolescents or religious fanatics" (216).
