According to his ex-wife, Paris bomber Ibrahim Abdeslam who blew himself up:

1. Smoked too much pot (3 - 4 joints) every day.
2. Stayed home, listened to Arabic hip hop and watched DVDs every day
3. Despite being an electrician, didn't have a job - collected unemployment
4. Was not interested in current affairs and they didn't have a TV
5. Favorite activities were smoking weed and sleeping.
6. Never went to the mosque or prayed, only went during Ramadan because his family made him go
7. Was lazy.
8. Went to prison twice for theft when he was younger.
9. Never violent - he was “chilled out” and “of good character”.
10. Had no gripe with the West.

So, there you go. International law enforcement needs to change its method of profiling terrorists. The religion and violence thing is obviously a ruse. They should be profiling lazy, unemployed, hip-hopping, lapsed Muslim potheads with Netflix accounts.

With the exception of #8 he could be an American male aged 18-29. Edit #2 to whatever music young folk listen to now.

Open your eyes!

Purchasing illegal drugs is giving financial support to terrorists and gangs.

terrorists are very weak minded. it's not the pot, it's their weak mind and ability to be brainwashed very, very easily.

Even more of a reason to decriminalize pot.

People haven't stopped buying it in almost 80 years since it was banned, how about letting the US earn some of that money, while simultaneously cutting off funds to these terrorists and gangs.

We should have a whole new profiling regimen.

The first words in any interrogation should be - "Do you want a hit?" while passing a joint. If they say yes they are a terrorist.

And if the O.P. is correct in that assessment, then instead of being so worried about keeping illegals out of the the U.S., instead government should raid every home and deport the millions of those lazy pot smoking Americans now here that could pose a threat.
