“It is clear that he had been radicalised by Isis propaganda accessed by him over the internet.” How clear is it, really?

I appeared on the great Larry Elder’s show a few days ago, and Larry and I had an in-depth discussion of the media brouhaha over Ben Carson’s remarks on Sharia and a Muslim President.
