If religion can be blamed for actions, it can equally be praised for actions. I don't like how people are trying to claim the shooters weren't "real" Muslims, yet, when it comes to this man, he is praised for being Muslim, as well as his actions. IMO, he's religion probably did play a part in his actions, including his humanity. What he did is the very definition of heroism and he should be lauded as a the hero he is, and if that includes mentioning his religious identification, then so be it.
