I think its pretty clear what some of the things were that set him down this kind of a path - consider:

1. He has a marine Dad - fight for what you believe in.
2. Rebellion of youth - started this when he was 16.
3. Idealism of youth - see above.
4. Divorced parents - set adrift, needed meaning in his life.
5. Inspired by Islam - Muslim faith is pretty compelling without the fundamentalism. However, I don't know what triggered Muslim vs Christianity, etc other than all the noise coming out of the region.
