The development of a jihadist's mind

And interesting article from the Jerusalem Post written by a Muslim who asks "How did I - once an innocent child who grew up in a liberal, moderate and educated household - find myself a member of a radical Islamic group?" and proceeds to answer. He asks: "What occupies the mind of a jihad-driven Muslim? How is such fervor planted in young and impressionable believers? Where does it originate? How did I - once an innocent child who grew up in a liberal, moderate and educated household - find myself a member of a radical Islamic group? These questions go to the root of Islamic violence and must be addressed if free societies are to combat radical Islam."

Worth a good read.
