I really have to wonder if he just wanted to make it look like he was a Muslim terrorist but actually was as Muslim as trump is.

1. Muslim terrorists tend to be losers also

Just like the most white gun nuts going on mass shootings.

2. Well, the interview with his father seemed to indicate that he had lost his faith in Jesus

After he lost custody of his daughter.
Guess he thought Allah might be better?

3. The sincerity of his faith is not at issue here.

His actions. Yes he was Muslim but that should not reflect upon the whole faith.

This is either a mental health issue or some evil guy.

[Roland99]

4. Should it not be though?

Don’t know his history or political inclinations but it just seems, to me at least, that this was being planned for a long time. Perhaps as a way to try and fulfill a right wing stereotype.

5. No think I think the most likely thing here is he converted to a new faith to find some

peace or sense of belonging, but he had some issues and something went very wrong.

[Roland99]

6. Yeah. Maybe so

[lunasun]

7. Yep the general consensus IMO will be that this Muslim terrorist had some mental issues

primarily because he is a white American male and regardless of his Islamic faith,

not viewed as radicalized or pure heart of evil like "real" Muslim terrorist who are often brown or black and / or immigrants

8. Sounds more like he is mentally ill and needed help.

What’s even sadder, more people in this country wiill lose even more mental health care because of rethugs tax cuts for the rich. Resulting in more of these poor people.
