I mean we have identical cases here. Instead it's a christian man, cutting off a person's head in the name of Jesus. Except we arrested him, instead of shooting him dead like we do most to most Radical Muslims. He's the definition of Radical Christian and we write him off as "mentally ill". Why don't we give Radical Muslims due process anymore? Have we gotten so used to calling them terrorists that they're automatically a threat with a political agenda the moment they scream ALLAHU AKBAR (God is great), deemed "enemy combatants" and we now can just deny them all their rights?

Most terrorists do it for a common (at least, amongst them: Islamist terrorists are a minority within a minority) ideology, not based on a personal experience with God, Mohammad, or any other prophet. That deals with the mentally ill question in the topic title, though not with the due process question your body is actually about. Two different points.
