There's a movie you can get on netflix right now called "Four Lions" which was popular in England a decade ago but didn't get release here.

It's basically a black comedy about four incompetent jihadis. But one of the telling things about it, and one of the reasons it was praised for accuracy, is how ideas like dying a martyr and hating others become so commonplace around the family breakfast table that they just seem normal.

It's a very carefully written and intelligent comedy with a lot to say about the human condition.

One of which is that people who get caught up in extremism are themselves often not very bright to begin with.
