Glare ... Umar Abdulmutallab near Parliament
JET terrorist Umar Abdulmutallab is a sexually frustrated loner who nurtured fantasies about holy war, The Sun can reveal.
The twisted mind of the seized bomber emerged in chilling messages he posted on an Islamic web forum.
The Sun retrieved 300 of them in a special investigation into the al-Qaeda fanatic.
In one, posted in 2005 when he was 19, he wrote: "I wont go into too much details about me fantasy, but basically they are jihad fantasies.
"I imagine how the great jihad will take place, how the Muslims will win insha'Allah (God willing) and rule the whole world, and establish the greatest empire once again!"
In another, he said: "Killing is only permitted in jihad."
And in a third, he complained of being depressed during his days at a boarding school in Togo.
He said he never found a true Muslim friend.
And he added: "As I get lonely, the natural sexual drive awakens and I struggle to control it, sometimes leading to minor sinful activities. This problem makes me want to get married to avoid getting aroused."
A harsh puritan streak shone through in the views of Nigerian-born Abdulmutallab, who spent three years in Britain as a mechanical engineering student at University College London.
It is best illustrated by his attitude to FOOTBALL.
In early 2005 he wrote cheerfully about the game. He said: "Liverpool is my chosen club," though he rated Chelsea's "classy" Frank Lampard as a better player than Kop idol Steven Gerrard.
But later in the year, his stance changed dramatically.
During a web discussion about soccer, he commented: "I honestly don't think the prophet would sit back, relax and enjoy watching Beckham kick the ball around.
"I think football is a doubtful matter... let's save our honour and religion and try and stay away from football."
He added: "Let's do activities like jogging, running, paintball, archery (or any other sport of the like that teaches target and aim), swimming, wrestling, weightlifting, martial arts, some form of fitness training and so on."
Abdulmutallab, 23, tried to detonate explosives moulded to his groin on a Northwest Airlines flight approaching Detroit from Amsterdam on Christmas Day.
He visited Britain before coming here to study - and told pals he attended London's Regent's Park mosque.
Using the online alias Farouk1986, taken from his middle name and year of birth, he became a vocal opponent of the war on terror.
And he told how he attended an Arabic course in Yemen, where he trained for his evil bombing mission.
He said other students on the language course came from Britain, the US and Somalia.
Abdulmutallab also talked of the "dilemma between liberalism and extremism" as a Muslim.
He wrote: "I deviate sometimes and when I strive hard, I get tired of what I am doing i.e. memorising the quran etc."
His outpourings will be studied by intelligence experts anxious to discover his extremist links in the UK.
