This. How many mentally ill killers have we had in the West who believed the Christian God was talking to them and telling them to hurt someone? For a Muslim who's mentally ill, it will just be Allah instead. It's so common that the DSM lists it specifically as one of the criteria for psychotic delusions.
It's one thing when there's a cell of terrorists striking out in some kind of political way -- and such sects exist for both Christianity and Islam as well as many other things, in the developed world.
It is completely another when someone who is almost certainly insane commits a random deranged act with seemingly no purpose.
The cell is called the Ummah.
