Latest non-jihad Leftist victimization explanation for Times Square
jihad: Shahzad was "the runt of the litter; the child who couldn't
meet his parents' expectations"

Nerd jihad! Shades of Adam Gadahn, the Al-Qaeda traitor and self-
described "revolting geek of mass proportions"!

"Who is Faisal Shahzad?: 'Unremarkable': American dream faded quickly
for accused terrorist," by Michael P. Mayko for the Connecticut Post,
May 5 (thanks to Tom):

Faisal Shahzad was never one to draw attention to himself.

An average student in college, an average employee in the workplace,
an average neighbor in suburbia.

Shahzad parlayed this into jobs crunching data for corporate America's
elite like Elizabeth Arden, which enabled him to buy a single-family
home for his wife and children in Shelton.

But quicker than the rise came the fall. Last June, Shahzad stopped
making payments on his $218,400 mortgage, quit his job at Affinion
Group in Norwalk and moved his family back to Pakistan.

Then it happened -- on May Day, a national workers' holiday in
Pakistan and often a celebration for socialism, communism and anarchy
elsewhere.

On this May 1, the Pakistani-born Shahzad, who only returned to the
U.S. in February, allegedly loaded his recently purchased Nissan
Pathfinder with explosives and drove it to the meeting place of the
world -- New York's Times Square.

From that moment on, Shahzad, left the world of anonymity and stepped
into one of worldwide attention.

What caused him to change?

There are many possibilities for such a dramatic change, said James
Monahan, a clinical psychologist and associate professor of criminal
justice at the University of New Haven.

"Maybe he was the runt of the litter; the child who couldn't meet his
parents' expectations," said Monahan.

His father, Bahar ul-Haq, is a retired Pakistani Air Force official.
He was able to provide an upper middle-class lifestyle for his family,
sending his boys to school in the U.S....

But...but...I thought poverty caused terrorism!

By June, Shahzad stopped paying the mortgage and other bills. He began
selling off the furnishings. He packed his family and left behind a
second floor filled with toys, clothing and DVDs.

"Maybe he was starting to see the hopes of living the good life in
America die and he began feeling like a failure," said Monahan. "Maybe
he wanted the satisfaction of going out with a bang."...

Maybe he was on his way to Paradise and the houris.

"They need to be grilling him in an attempt to determine his
connections and his associations to radical groups," Monahan said.
"His wife is someone who they should want to talk to."

One would think, but you never know: to do so might be "Islamophobic."

Despite his eight months away, once again Shahzad was allowed entry
into the U.S.

Correction: "Despite his apparent presence at a jihad training camp in
Pakistan, Shahzad was allowed entry into the U.S."

We're getting closer.

How many more attacks, attempted or successful ones, will there be
before the realization that an imposter and his cadre of incompetents
have put the U.S. on a course with disaster?

How many other Shahzads are out there? Under the current U.S. regime,
nothing will be done to find them, stop them, or deport them.

November 2010 is the next best hope for America to elect patriots who
will end the insanity that Obama has allowed to progress at an
exponential rate.

Faisal Shahzad, Subprime Terrorist? One way of falling behind with
