Centaur, I'm not saying yes or no, but I think you saying that about an entire branch of a religion would be like me automatically assuming it was his motive. I understand the reasoning behind not painting this person as a violent muslim without the facts, but its almost as though new orgs go out of their way to avoid mentioning that someone is a muslim. Its not the media's job to keep people from jumping to conclusions, its there job to give an unbiased version of the factual information (I know, this is pretty much impossible now).
Even more than this instance, I just think its pathetic how the media tip toes around the fact that a person is muslim. I absolutely guarantee you that if the shooter was a far right wing anti abortion activist, it would be a factor before now. At some point we need to begin having honest dialogue about the dangers involved in parts of the muslim community and stop using kid gloves on everything. God knows we have no problem getting to the core of problems with other religions.
Side note, RA, yeah, tons of Christians go "postal" in the name of Christianity. Happens all the time...
