They'll find a guy who was unemployed or underemployed, (working at a crap job,) had a criminal record, mostly for stupid crimes like vandalism or disorderly conduct or DUI's.

Became radicalized by watching those ISIS videos with their rich gurus blaming "the West" and/or Jews for anything and everything, and demanding that *THEIR* version of Islam be mandated by law.

My Muslim neighbor calls them "losers" and he's 100% correct.
