Why other people who have been victims of atrocities have not become terrorists, and why the Internet’s version of Islam is so much more powerful than the supposedly benign version that we are told is taught in mosques in the West, remains unexplained. And no one, least of all the Daily Mail, will draw the most obvious conclusion from this: that it is unwise, and a national security threat, to admit Muslims into the military of non-Muslim states without very careful screening.

If the Daily Mail’s ridiculous scenario is to be believed, perhaps Muslim military officers should be barred from using the Internet, so that they don’t encounter material that will end up with their being “radicalized.” But even that would be “Islamophobic.”

“UK navy officer joins ISIS: Defence experts warn of terror attacks on ships as highly skilled sailor turns from playboy into jihadi after watching videos of Assad’s atrocities in Syria,” by Omar Wahid, Mark Nicol and Tahira Yaqoob, Mail On Sunday, May 8, 2016: 

" A navy officer who trained at one of Britain’s most prestigious maritime colleges has fled to Syria to join the Islamic State terror group. Defence experts warned last night that 28-year-old Ali Alosaimi’s high-level skills and exhaustive knowledge of the nation’s shipping fleet represented a terrifying security threat.

Having already targeted passenger jets, there has long been concern that militants will try to bring terror to the seas by attacking ships and ferries. ‘This suddenly raises the spectre of IS damaging shipping,’ said former Royal Navy chief Admiral Lord West. ‘Someone with his knowledge opens up a whole new area where terrorism can take place.’
