The Basketball obsessed American who became a suicide bomber

[MadeFromDust]

What the heck does being obsessed with basketball have to do with being a suicide bomber? Is this code or something?

maybe he was a Cleveland fan

Hahahaaaaaa

I think it showed his tunnel vision to one purpose. Some might call it, "integrity". When he couldn't satisfy his basketball jones, he moved on to terrorism. It could've been college pursuing a 4.0 GPA. It could've been a job where he worked non-stop and never missed a day. It could've been a life of crime as a mob hit man where he racked kills more than most in MW2. No, he chose moslem terrorism as his fixation.

This is a website of basketball fans. It also seemed to be his most identifiable personality trait prior to becoming a suicide bomber.






Also I wanted to see if anyone remembered his ISH name.

Pointing out identifiable/relatable traits it's journalism tactic to try and make it feel like we have criminals and terrorists mingling among us all the time just waiting to snap. If it wasn't basketball or Florida it'd be something else. Like "father of two" or "brother of local businessman"... something that tries to bring the story closer to home.

If they are not among us, where do they come from? Are they beamed down from their spaceship?
