Waj is The Mole.
Waj is an agent of Mossad or the CIA, using Obfuscating Stupidity to infiltrate an Islamic terror cell. He completes his primary mission of locating the training camp in Pakistan, then successfully brings about the death of Osama bin Laden before faking his death and returning home.

Barry is a repressed homosexual

His at his bizarre, homoerotic "initiation ritual" with Hassan (which involves shoving a baked bean up his penis) and, later, forcing Waj to urinate into his own mouth aside, he is clearly angry at their Mistaken for Gay ploy to get rid of Alice, and when preparing the bolts, he says "gay" and "sodomite" with the most venom. It's possible that he turned to, at first, white nationalism (according to Wordof God) and then to fundamentalist Islam because it allows him to fight against what he secretly wants to be; an openly gay man in a tolerant, modern society.
