This is some adjustments in my plot and logline.:
"To please his Muslim girlfriend, a valiant dropout converts to Islam, gets set up by his religious mentor in a train bomb attack, he must evacuate his frantic countrymen before the bomb kills them."
Okay assuming that somehow he agreed to carry out a terror attack but then changed his mind, he still sounds like a foolish person not a naive one. There are some things that can pass for naivety but a terror attack is certainly not one, what did he think was going to happen?!!!
The reason for him to change his mind is unclear, this needs to be elaborated on as it tells the audience that he has learned his lesson and is a better person for it. Secondly, if he was part of the plan all along then the event that convinces him to do the right thing and not kill people sounds like the inciting incident and therefore should come at the end of act one. Albeit early in the plot for him to overcome his flaw, I believe that in this particular case it can still work, and may benefit the story.
Mentor for what?? Political terrorism? Religious indoctrination?? That needs to be clarified.
And my previous reservations stand.
And how can the young man be accused of terrorism? before the terrorist act has happened?
