Are all jihadists, such as Jihadi John, who beheaded U.S. journalist James Foley, clinically insane?
Is “mental illness” the new cover for jihadist attacks on the West?

The latest “mentally unstable” young man to launch a seemingly random attack on unarmed civilians was Zakaria Bulhan, a 19-year-old Somali Muslim who had been resettled in Norway at the age of 5. Bulhan singled out an American woman in London and stabbed her to death Wednesday on a busy square filled with tourists, then injured five others in a stabbing spree before being apprehended.
