Cara Rain says her common-law husband Sayfildin Tahir Sharif "is not a terrorist. He is a kind, generous man, a hard-working man, a loving and kind and affectionate father."
And that is enough to not be a terrorist? I guess no one is a terrorist/murderer/criminal then, because we ALL have something nice and kind in us, and don't forget that the worst people are the best actors.
I remember watching a documentary by a speaker at TED, on the Taliban and how they recruit people into their organizations. Seeing videos of kids knowing that these 12 and 14 year olds smiling and sitting on top of a bike would be shortly killing themselves and taking dozens with them was absolutely chilling. Knowing that they got there so that they could escape a life of poverty made it even worse.
A terrorist is not someone who secretly needs to kill or who is deranged all the time. He is a person who believes that he is in the right, and since what he is doing is morally acceptable he will likely be able to be peaceful otherwise, even if it is just an act or just his cover. As Brenda said, sometimes the worst people who intend to do the worst things have the best skills at hiding that side of themselves, because they have the incentive to do so.
It is sincerely disturbing to see how easily something as simple as human decency can be twisted around and used as a weapon to beat others down.
While I do not mean to draw an equivalency, even if a cop ends up shooting someone who is dangerous, he otherwise may be unable to bring himself to even talk sternly to his dog. People are capable of many things if their moral code opens themselves to do it, good and bad.
