re: #450 Dark_Falcon

Stanley, it’s just that when we hear of a case like this where the subject is being called a “devout Muslim” who fired on American servicemen, a twisted interpretation of Islam is almost always the cause. Given that, I based my post on the pattern. And I am being careful not to lump Islam itself or non-radical Muslims in with that shithead.

Here’s the ABC report I alluded to earlier (my home Internet connection is slower than snails on sleeping pills, so I can’t always dig up the links I need “in time” for a topical post):

When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either “Jihad Jihad” or “Allahu Akbar,” sources said.
