    Well, they are certainly misguided and misinformed, and I suspect there is a fair amount of psychopathy present in various individual terrorists.

    If you mean sick as in crazy and obsessed, I would have to say yes to both.

    They are criminals whether they need therapy or not.

    Let's try to remember that "terrorist" always used to refer to the way governments treated their citizens. Amateur soldiers are called "guerrillas".

    Are you ok? It's one thing to babble in text, but you have to be pretty far gone when you start babbling in images. You have a picture of President Trump, no known relation to terrorists, and a picture of an orangutan, no relation to a monkey, and your entire response has no relation to the topic.

    Get help, ok?

    Causing terror.  No good is gonna come out of that idea.

    NONE.   Even as a reaction to having terror thrust upon you.

    Don't do it back or it gets really terrifying.

    In some cases possibly both. It seems plausible that having a mild mental illness or personality disorder may make someone more vulnerable to radicalisation if their condition is undiagnosed or if they lack social support networks. A sense of alienation, loneliness and being despised by society may make extreme and violent ideologies more attractive. 

    But this doesn't mean they are not responsible for their behaviour. The time for "therapy" is before they have committed an outrage, not after.
