Based on media reports (which may or may not be accurate) he did what he did in opposition of Muslims killing people (honestly, that's the best explanation the media has proposed).

I'm simply suggesting that media reports can be inaccurate and none of us really know. Before randomly labeling him a psychopath, I think that we need to know more about him.
