I'm not putting words in anyone's mouth, you made a statement which implied his family history needed to be taken into consideration when evaluating what led to his radicalisation, and I asked if that's what you meant.

Your second point contradicts everything else you say though, because if they aren't born here then they are (according to you at least) coming over here in mass droves? I do hope you're also aware it's perfectly possible for a Brit with native parents to become radicalised. There are many more influential factors in such a process than one's family history.

On the last point:

Born in 1994, the second youngest of four children, Abedi’s parents were Libyan refugees who fled to the UK to escape Gaddafi.
