I also can't remember the last time a Jewish person flew planes into buildings, or massacred their fellow soldiers. DUH!

This particular terrorist is unusual. Judging from the stories I read, he was not an a..hole in his everyday life. This crime may have been a true crime of conscience. Conscience of what? Mowing down innocent people is an act of conscience? Lovely way to look at things.In a way it's scarier, because it points out that a person can calmly (and wrongly) do terrible things with the feeling that he is doing his duty to God. To me, it is not so important that he was a Muslim; Thats the entire point here. Way to close your eyes to whats going on around you. I think that the issue is actually bigger than that. Maybe there is no solution.

I myself could say that he was basically a believer in God; how would you feel about that? Or maybe he's a Republican? Just because a person can be identified with something you are opposed to does not make that the ultimate explanation of his behavior.
You were expecting maybe warnings? Terrorists are known for staying under the radar until they strike.

Not important he was a muslim? Thats the whole point here.

Basically a believer in God? What kind of God that deserves to even be acknowledged encourages this crap? Oh, wait.........Allah!
