Ok, maybe I should have said it differently. Try to keep my posts short and succinct. Maybe a better way to say is this is, "What factors contributed to him reaching the tipping point". What led him to actually act on these terrible desires/thoughts and not just sit and stew about it? I have no insider knowledge but it would seem as if he would have been on some sort of watchlist of the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, etc.
Ok, I understand what you are asking. That's a good question. Were there outside directives, influences, coordination? Does he frequent a particular mosque? I get the feeling that this brand of terrorist does not use the internet to plan and coordinate attacks. I tend to think these cells are put together through groups that frequent particular mosques. Sort of like:
Terrorist Recruiter: "Hello friend, what did you think of Imam's khutba? I felt powerful anger at American infidels, their debauchery boils my blood!"
Abdul "Salam my Brother, yes I was powerfully inspired"
Terrorist Recruiter: "I have not seen you at Muslim ChillOut, why not friend?"
Abdul "I am not familiar - Imam hasn't mentioned it and never saw it online"
Terrorist Recruiter: "We keep a low profile. We are having a Muslim ChillOut event tomorrow evening, I invite you to come - here is my card with the address. Show this to no one, you understand. Present this card to Jamalia who will be at the door and follow his directions. I think you will find it enlightening and inspirational"
Abdul "Is this your way of introducing me to a female family member?"
Terrorist Recruiter: "No females will be there, Abdul. Just men. Serious men. Are you a serious man? Good! We will talk more then"
