People want to appear intelligent by trying to read between the lines. The story above simply means that Nasir turned jihadi because of his own failure in life. He may support his decisions by saying he read it in islam, or was enraged by his father's capture, or a zillion other things. The simple fact is that people like Nasir have lost their mental bearings required to live in peace and harmony with their fellow human beings. Why else would he want to kill innocent people as a cure for his failure? So stop discussing religions and generalising or you all fall in the same simplistic traps that he fell into. What a pity!

Freedom with proper "Self" and universal responsibility and some common-sense in keeping one's focus into life affirmative values is enough religion for all. You will notice that only mediocre and confused people talk all the time about God. Which is basically an escapist idea and hiding their own incompetency. That is why you see all developed countries in the world are 'secular' to keep these people on the fringes and excel in life and professions.
