Sorry, I just thought this was really interesting on the BBC website.
The age of 'celebrity terrorism'
*SPOILER*
The final part is killer, I fucking love the phrase "D-List malcontents".
"These individuals indulge in terrorism simply because they can, while their audience concocts a rationale on their behalf.
Welcome to the age of celebrity terrorism.
The invitation to the world's D-list malcontents reads as follows: No matter how corrupt your moral sense, how contorted your view of the world, how vapid and inarticulate your ideas, how talentless you are and how exaggerated your grievance, an obsessive audience will watch your every move and turn you into what you most want to be, just before your death. "

this seems different to people like mark chapman or the columbine killers, i thought these terrorists were fundamentalist muslims trying to stir up trouble between india and pakistan?
