Our Zack Roth just put together this profile of accused would-be bomber Faisal Shahzad. And like so many Islamic terrorists living in the West, what is most striking about Shahzad are the ways in which he was simultaneously alien to and also deeply embedded within Western culture. In one example, Shahzad’s descent into extremist violence seems to have coincided with getting in over his head on a home mortgage he couldn’t afford. The house eventually went into foreclosure.
