I really don't see the value in defining is he crazy, is he not crazy. To say, 'such and such a people, civilians, are fair game for murder' will never be the words of a rational person and I don't care who's saying it.
I'm not sure if you were directing all of your comments at me, Jazz, but I've always stated pretty plainly how I feel about the actions of my government and I think most of the anger from around the globe that is directed at us is completely and verifiably justified. Nor do I think we are not personally responsible being that we have a government supposedly 'of the people.' But if you're implying that my comments are slanted because he is a Muslim, then I beg to differ and I can prove it by condemning any white bastard you'd like to trot out here who would say the same.
So, yes, my idea of rationality does not include the possibility of randomly killing people and that may differ from those of others including some Muslim extremists, Winston Churchill and lots of other powerful white people responsible for the deaths of millions of people throughout history. But there is a point where one's ability to perceive reality becomes so narrow that they are able to justify all manner of inappropriate actions and it becomes a clinical condition. It doesn't mean they are running around naked, howling at the moon.
