Counterterrorism investigators are trying to figure out why a 24-year-old Kuwait-born man who seemingly had a typical suburban American upbringing attacked two U.S. military sites in a shooting rampage that left four Marines dead.

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez of Hixson, Tennessee, did not appear to have been on the radar of federal authorities before the bloodshed Thursday, officials said, and they were still searching for a motive. Abdulazeez was killed by police.

Federal authorities were looking into the possibility it was an act of terrorism but said there was no evidence yet that anyone else was involved. […]

(Hussnain) Javid said he occasionally saw Abdulazeez at the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga, but the last time was roughly a year ago.

The official Kuwait News Agency on Friday quoted the Interior Ministry as saying that while Abdulazeez was born in Kuwait, he was of Jordanian origin. The report also said he traveled to Kuwait and Jordan in the spring of 2010. …

Never mind the comment about his “name caus(ing) national security alerts” . . . i.e. before Obama showed up.

What’s the motive? I am convinced the problem was the Confederate flag and the infamous Chattanooga Choo-Choo. They need to get rid of all that rebel stuff and put up Obama photos all over. Then the Islamists will fall down in prayer 24/7.

(sighs) If the attacker looked like Dylann Roof and had attacked a mosque, we’d have banned MMA by now.

Contrast the tone to Roof coverage.

Double standard and inconsistencies.

Fox News showed an aerial view of his ‘typical suburban’ home last night.

Like nearly ALL of these scum, his lifestyle was way above typical.

These terrorists aren’t reacting out of no opportunities or lack of employment - to paraphrase Ms. Harf - they are all very well off.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome

It can strike at any time, but only happens to muslims.

Wonder why?

Couldn’t have anything to do with their book telling them that Islam must dominate the world and to kill all unbelievers.

LOL!!!!

OMG these people are insane.

You just KNOW that what they will say next, is this:

"It turns out that the gunman saw a Confederate Flag, and this warped his brain."

TYPICAL SUBURBAN LIFE? I saw an arial (sp) shot of the shanty he and his family live/lived in somewhere this morning. Typical? My a$$. If I see it again, I’ll post the linkage.

Curious. What would be the reaction if the remains of a terrorist was covered in pork products like bacon?

Does this mean that they might not make it to heaven? Or, while they are enjoying their 72 virgins, they are suddenly pulled out of heaven and into the nether place because their remains were covered in bacon?

No Moslem has a “typical suburban life” in America. Every Moslem male and some females know that one day they must perform the requirements of Jihad, as is mandated in the Koran..
