   The Self Taught Man Black Hole

   Originally posted by Bradley How come none of the Muslims I know are religious extremists? do you think they're lying to me or just not very extreme? I know 6 Muslims, 0 of which are doing cool shit, joined ISIS, are part of a sleeper cell, or really anything like I'd expect.

   
   Most people are too laid back and lazy to be extremists about anything.
   
   The really scary people are the ones with loads of mental energy.

   Unknown number of Canadian ISIS fighters
   
   Last February, Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Michael Coulombe testified before the Senate national security and defence committee hearing that an estimated 130 Canadians had joined terror groups in Syria, Yemen, Somalia and north Africa. Coulombe estimated that 30 of them had left to join groups like ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Many experts estimate that number is now much higher.
   
   In an editorial published recently in the Globe and Mail, Coulombe said that there is "very real prospect" that Canadians who have joined ISIS and other terror organizations overseas could attempt violent acts in Canada.
   
   A psychologist who conducts workshops for Muslim youth in Calgary says if the Gordon brothers are Canadians, "we have to own it."
