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?
