			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of you may have read by now, yet another mentally ill convert <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1021187/Muslim-convert-held-nail-bomb-blast-restaurant.html"><strong>set off a bomb</strong></a> in the UK. This is becoming a pattern that I have noticed for a few years now: &#8220;radicalized&#8221; converts to Islam often have some history of mental illness. Let&#8217;s review:<a href="http://tariqnelson.com/2006/09/03/another-mentally-ill-convert/"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://tariqnelson.com/2006/09/03/another-mentally-ill-convert/">Adam Gadahn</a> - the American lunatic that joined Al-Qaeda - and  <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1731568.stm"><strong>Richard Reid</strong></a> (the &#8220;shoe bomber&#8221;) were both alleged to have mental problems. Then there <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Henry_Hinrichs">this story</a> that largely went unnoticed in which a young man - who was said to possibly be a convert - accidentally blew himself up near a football stadium in Oklahoma. Whether or not he was Muslim is not known, but his roommates were said to be Muslim and they said that he was studying Islam. Whatever the case, he had been treated for clinical depression since the age of ten. Then last year a mentally ill convert was arrested in New York for allegedly <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/09/11/2007-09-11_mentally_unstable_muslim_convert_alleged.html"><strong>plotting to kill the mayor</strong></a>. And <strong><a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/regionstate/20011031machete1031p6.asp">this is an example</a></strong> of a mentally ill convert I met personally while I was living in Memphis.</p>
<p>Even those that are not converts are often mentally disturbed like<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/11/15/1132016796593.html?from=rss"><strong> this suspect</strong></a> as well as <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Melbourne-terror-suspect-seeks-bail/2006/04/13/1144521442105.html"><strong>this one</strong></a> both from Australia and alleged to be suffering from mental illnesses</p>
<p>This is why I have said for some time now that anti-Western rants must be banned in the mosques in a near dictatorial manner as these mentally disturbed individuals can and will take things and run with it.</p>
