Finally a serious opinion.... This isn't Jihad this is Schitzophrenia

Psychologist Hubert Van Gijseghem — who it should be noted had never met nor treated Couture-Rouleau — told the Journal de Montréal that the kinds of changes that he had apparently undergone could fall within the “register” of  paranoid schizophrenia, which in males most often reveals itself in late teens to early 20s. Schizophrenia is a brain disease that affects an estimated 300,000 Canadians and its symptoms are often associated with religious fervour, with one study indicating that one-quarter of people hospitalized with the illness report religious delusions.

So was Couture-Rouleau “radicalized,” as the RCMP reported, or was he manifesting the signs of someone suffering from mental illness, one that would eventually lead to a psychotic break?
