I'm not excusing his actions at all, he was an idiot and he's paid the price.
Society does need to take responsibility too though. Western nations have bombed no less than 6 Muslim countries in the last 12 years. Islamophobia is rife, even on a modest & tolerant website like NSC there is constant denunciation of Muslims, and generally the youth of today are disenfranchised and see no meaningful future. It's no surprise to me how so many young Muslim men are so easily radicalised when their identity is despised and they can envision an opportunity to be a part of something significant, albeit evil, like this.
I think it's sad. Not for the bitter, angry man that he became - not even for his parents, who could have possibly done more - but for the innocent, vulnerable child that he was 10 years ago. There are children in schools today that will suffer the same fate if we continue this approach.

I think the more important issue is to try and work out why someone from the UK turns against the UK or the West so to speak.
There are some very bad individuals within the UK that are perhaps influencing the issue, should this be legal or should these types of organisations be prosecuted ?
