SNIPPET: "Sudden jihad syndrome or just the crazy? I'll remind my readers that the two are not mutually exclusive categories.
In fact, Aaron over at SOFIR has a pretty interesting typology of the "terrorist continuum" in which he posits that the more rational the terrorist the more likely they will be to need organizational help. At the other end of the spectrum are "lone wolves" who are characterized by a high degree of "internal disquiet".
I've no idea if the grad student/murderer named Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani was motivated by Islamic extremism. I throw it out there because it can't be discounted at this point. Especially given that the victim, Professor Richard T. Antoun, specialized in studying religious fundamentalism, Islamic law, and dispute resolution in Islamic societies."

**See you at Covadonga.**
Unfortunately, that may be what is needed .. a World Wide CRUSADE!!
We should not judge and Islam is the religion of peace. This taught and repeated at our liberal universities around the USA which includes most universities. Mouthed by many professors.
This may just be a normal Islamic ritual or custom like honor killings. Let’s not judge.
Agreed.

Roommates and Neighbors Speak about Al-Zahrani (he is what he is) http://www.wicz.com/news2005/viewarticle.asp?a=11700 Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani lived in a three bedroom apartment in downtown Binghamton. His roommates say police searched their home for two to three hours Saturday. “The police they came and when they were allowed to enter into his room. They took all his stuff,” said Jules Sakho, Al-Zahrani’s roomate. Including a knife that was found in the trash. Sakho also says Al-Zahrani’s behavior was strange. “He was all the time shouting in Arabic, shouting threats, insulting this country (USA) for no reason. Sometimes when we talked here, he said he wanted to destroy the world. Sometimes, for no reason, asking if I am afraid of death or not, “ said Sakho. Al-Zahrani was a Saudi Arabia national and Sakho says he was Muslim. But the D.A.’s report says there is no indication of religious or ethnic motivation (What an Idiot).
