Netherlands: Terrorist or schizophrenic

There's a lot of discussion now about Bilal B. and his mental illness. Here are two more facts to add to the mix:

1. Dutch Moroccan males are six times more at risk of being schizophrenic than ethnic Dutch males. Second generation Moroccans are at a risk 11 times that of ethnic Dutch. ( Dutch study: why are Moroccans schizophrenic)

2. One of Bilal's sisters is married to one of Samir Azzouz's uncle, Azzouz being a very well known Dutch-Moroccan terrorist. (Source: Volkskrant, Dutch)
