Hmm, I don't know a moody teen who has not been radicalised but claims to follow a religion should count. If religion isn't their main motive...

Maybe we should just ban religion, its the only way to be safe!

That would be a great way to magnify extremism hugely.

Probably most murders are carried out by atheists, or at least people without strong beliefs. Ban that too.

I would define "radicalised" as someone who has been led to believe something and provided with the necessary weapons to carry out a killing and to justify it with no logical reason.


So, "it's their fault for not allowing guns in their church" is not a reason to kill people in a church. Neither is the reason "because of their skin colour or religion".


Maybe the simpler list would be "mass shootings carried out by right wing nut jobs" where the definition of a "right wing nut job" is someone who believes killing is the only solution and that there is no tolerance for people who are different to you or who oppose violence.


That then covers ISIL, IRA, Anders Breivik, Adam Lanza, Dylann Roof, Eric Harris, etc.

If you provide them a logical reason I think it's still radicalisation, otherwise this seems a decent definition. Some lone nutter who goes on a rampage is just a nutter.
