So no reply to why I'm up at 5am then.
Go figure!

To the victims, of course it does, but we are discussing the motivations that result in murder. Understanding them correctly will help generate a more targetted response.

A determination of insanity is a legal defence and not a clinical judgement. Clinicians determine mental illnesses and then attempt
to treat them. For an insanity defence to succeed, it must be proven in a Court that the accused was suffering such mental illness as to have lost their sense of reasoning.

It is absurd to suggest that I think that any Islamist who kills is insane. It's total nonsense. It's as ridiculous to say that every one is insane as that none are. Each case needs to be determined on its facts, and not by some hypothetical rule of thumb.

What is true is that not every Muslim is an Islamist terrorist. In fact very, very few are. That though doesn't stop you seeing Islam as the real issue and the "bigger problem".

Around 100 years ago, in another country not too far from ours, those who held a different faith were perceived as the root cause of all their problems. They found their own "final solution". I have to wonder what yours would be?

I have no sympathy for anyone who breaks any laws because of their religious beliefs, let alone commits murder. The west is fighting a battle with radical Islam, which there is no way we can, should, or ever could avoid. We must win the battle, and the only way to do it is to counter bad ideas with good ones.

That requires patience and education, alongside zero tolerance of any unlawfulness.

If he is ever fit for trial

I don't "like" Islam either. As an atheist I don't "like" any religion. I have no issues with anyone believing whatever they like, just so long as they don't seek to impose any aspect of it on me, or anyone else. By that I mean it must be kept private and not on display on the public square, with any kind of proselytism ruled out. JWs get short shrift with me.

Radical believers, who feel they can break the law because of their beliefs, need just to be treated as the criminals they are.

Whilst I make no excuses because of belief, I also don't condemn people because of one. I ignore it, and judge on actions alone. Break the law, be punished. Abide by the law, carry on. What's in your head is not my business.

You don’t have to like Islam.

Just don’t think all Muslims support terrorist extremists, as they don’t.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
