I've said it for quite a while, in the recent attacks, the Paris attackers also fit this profile (Syria), and so do the San Bernardino attackers (Saudi Arabia). No doubt others will, too.
I would be interested first in the ratio of people who make these trips to those who go on to commit atrocities. And then I'd like to see the ratio of people who make these trips AND commit atrocities to people who DON'T make these trips and commit atrocities.

My guess would be less than 1 in a million for the former, and 1:5 for the latter.

I'm guessing that you find it easy to remove the rights of a large group of people because it won't directly affect you.
