Today’s new terrorists were radical before they were religious

SPC Andrew Griffin thanks for the post, a great point of interest! Very informative. Keep up the good posts.

As training for one of my military assignments I met with a panel of criminal profilers; and psychiatrists and psychologists who study criminal behavior. I then interviewed career criminals for over 40 hours. I was there to learn how "super predators" choose their targets and develop their strategies. The intent was for me to learn to think like "super predators" so that I assessed targets like they do. It was a chilling experience. To this day, almost thirty years later, I still assess my environment non-stop. To the best of my ability I've passed those skills on to my wife, daughter and Grandchildren.

There was a strong belief among the panel that there were commonalities in thought patterns, strategy development, and inability to empathize between "super predators". I believe that the people who are prone to radicalization and are capable of direct action or direct support share those commonalities.

They are as Islamic as the KKK is Christian or as they like to call themselves nowdays "Christian Identity Movement"
