Terrorism is all about family values

Two of the seven terrorism suspects that were apprehended yesterday, turn out to be brothers.
Yeah, I got a warm fuzzy feeling too.
What's more, they're not Moroccans. They're Dutch Americans, both from Amersfoort. Their father is an American soldier based in Europe. Their mother is Dutch. The oldest of the two is names Jason W. He is 19 years old and, according to some sources, converted to Islam five years ago. Another source states he converted at the age of 13, which at least isn't contradictory. At that time, he got a new name: Abu Mujahied Amrik, according to shock blog GeenStijl. Jason left a goodbye note for his parents in Dutch. It is mainly rethorical drivel, although one sentence intrigues me: he begs his mother not to erect another altar like the last time.
Jason was arrested in The Hague yesterday and got hurt. This probably means he's the guy that didn't follow police orders. Yesterday it was reported that one of the suspects was subsequently shot in his shoulder. GeenStijl has a really small picture of Jason here. His brother Jermaine is 17. He was arrested in Amersfoort.
Jason had finished VWO (the highest level of secondary school in the Netherlands) and had started his university studies. As with Mohammed B., who was also well educated, and as with many of the hijackers during the 9-11 attacks, this goes to show we are not dealing with mindless drones, but misguided ones.
It would be foolish to underestimate them.
