You have generations that have grown in a system of instability and violence. A system where dictators and radical clerics control the nation. Where people are bereft of many freedoms. On top of this, what is there to hope for in the future? How many people have lost relatives?

You can't ascribe these motivations to someone who was born and raised in the UK like this guy was. You just can't.
What's the common thread here? What did he have in common with a Somali man born in Toronto, raised in Calgary, who joined ISIS in Syria? With an Egyptian who was highly educated in architecture and flew a plane into the World Trade Center? With a Tunisian who drove a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin? Religion has EVERYTHING to do with this.
