<p>"Yeah this brave man [mumbles random name] was definitely one of ours!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As ISIS continually have their arse handed to them out in the desert, they'll latch onto anything. What's odd is they usually wait for some form of allegiance call from the perp to come out before doing this e.g. the 911 call to police before the Orlando attack, or some facebook post etc. Haven't seen anything like that announced?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, the other story coming out today is that he sent some money - $150K - to his family before the attack:</p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p>Overnight Bouhlel’s family revealed he had sent $150,000 just days before the atrocity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Mohamed sent the family 240,000 Tunisian Dinars ($150,000) in the last few days,†his brother Jaber Bouhlel told the Daily Mail.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“He used to send us small sums of money regularly like most Tunisians working abroad. But then he sent us all that money, it was fortune.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“He sent the money illegally. He gave cash to people he knew who were returning to our village and asked them to give it to the family.â€</p>

<p> </p>
<p>And he also wasn't the most popular chap in the family:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p>A cousin of Bouhlel’s wife described him as a “nasty piece of work†who beat his wife and was not a Muslim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was a dual Tunisian-French national who lived in Nice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Bouhlel was not religious. He did not go to the mosque, he did not pray, he did not observe Ramadan,†Walid Hamou, a cousin of Bouhlel’s wife Hajer Khalfallah, told MailOnline.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“He drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs. This is all forbidden under Islam. He was not a Muslim, he was a s***. He beat his wife, my cousin, he was a nasty piece of work.â€</p>

<p>These stories always come out with people claiming he is not a Muslim. We can agree he was a s*** though. He drove a bus through a crowd, ISIS have claimed it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Until it is proved otherwise, he worked for ISIS and therefore Islamic supremacists. Everything else is fluff, much like the stories that turned out to be myth about the Orlando bomber being gay.</p> -

<p>Its a good place to start if you want to plant an idea like "hey how about you murder the fuck out of all these innocents in the name of God?"</p>

Must be a shitload more Muslims suffering from mental illness then Nick.

My original point, before the joke point, was that if he was mentally ill, depressed etc, it's much easier to plant a bit of religious fervour.<br><br>
But religious people are fucked in general. Someone tells you a book written centuries ago is how you live now, that is not something a stable, functioning, free-thinking human takes on. -
<p>Was this guy mentally ill?<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/82178297/pakistani-social-media-star-strangled-in-apparent-honour-killing'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/82178297/pakistani-social-media-star-strangled-in-apparent-honour-killing</a></p>

<p>Yes, but funnily enough combining Islam with a mentally ill person has much more serious effects that combining any other religion with a mentally person.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Islam is a hateful ideology.</p> -

<p>I agree, but, the "mentally ill" thing gets thrown about a lot with stuff like this, but how do you actually define it? We really don't understand it well enough to say with any degree of certainty that a mental illness is the cause of someone committing mass murder. E.G. "oh he was depressed, that's why he went and shot up a bunch of people". But then how do you explain the millions of people that have lived with depression that have never even entertained the thought of doing something like that?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mental illness may play a part, but it's not the root cause of these types of events. Like anything with humans, nothing is black and white.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Koran is pretty specific though. Kill all infidels, gays etc. Seems like an obvious place to look when figuring out what motivates people like this... :)</p> -

<p>Clearly had a lot to do with it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The speed at which he was radicalised indicates he's fairly receptive. His family is reporting he wasn't a religious guy, and the authorities are saying his phone has contacts on it for local Islamic people. But that he only started going to mosques the last few months according to all sources.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I look at people who are in Scientology exhibiting the same lead-in behaviours: looking for meaning, told they could be more worthy, suddenly they're in a cult. Without all the bombing and death of course.</p> -
<p>Not so many people have changed colours of their FB profile pics this time. I've always thought that was a futile waste of fucken time given, as antipodeans link shows, people die of terror attacks on a regular basis. Over the last year I've had Jerry Collins, Christopher Lee, Jonah and Prince as famous people who's lives meant something to me but the whole "change your pic for Paris/Nice/Orlando" or whatever just reeks of self importance in my opinion.</p>

<p>exactly the same way you explain the millions of muslims who have never entertained the thought of doing something like that, i'd imagine.</p> -
