Yet another convert to Islam somehow gets the crazy idea that his new, peaceful religion requires him to do violence to non-Muslims. Authorities remain resolutely incurious about this recurring phenomenon.
“Coeur d’Alene man accused of following ISIS, planning suicide attack,” by Andru Zodrow, KHQ, April 8, 2024:
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – A Coeur d’Alene man was arrested on Saturday for allegedly supporting ISIS and planning a suicide attack on multiple churches.
According to the US Department of Justice, 18-year-old Alexander Scott Mercurio is allegedly a pledged supporter of ISIS and planned to commit a terrorist attack at Coeur d’Alene churches on Sunday.
Court documents submitted by federal prosecutors on Saturday alleged that Mercurio explained his plans via social media with other individuals involved in potential terrorist activity.
Law enforcement claims that he was going to attack local places of worship with knives, guns and flames….

Fortunately most of these people are incredibly stupid and share their plans online.

Yes, criminals are stupid (for 1,being criminals, 2 blabbing) and even when the LE refuse to see the islam behind the plans, inciting the destruction and death, the lack of brains on the perp’s part, helps them catch the culprits.
Now, what about those with whom he communicated his plans? If he/they took any action….buying the knives, guns, flames…it’s a conspiracy.
How many in this group? Where are they located? Are they under investigation?
Will we read in a few days about his ‘mental’ problems, or hear from his family? Are they converts or are they horrified?

somehistory,
To your point, the most dangerous people are high IQ psychopaths.
somehistory says
Yes, James, and the psychopaths, high IQ or not, never learn.\from their mistakes.
The LE will put someone in a cell with a psycho so they can learn details of the crimes and the psycho has to brag about how he did this and that and fooled the police.
