The man who stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota mall had become interested in Islam in the last several months, withdrew from his friends and encouraged female relatives to be more religious, the FBI said Thursday.

"We were told (he) had not previously shown an interest in religion," but after 20-year-old Dahir Ahmed Adan did, he went from being a high academic performer to failing out of college "almost overnight," FBI Special Agent Rick Thornton said at a news conference.

The attorney for Adan's family, Abdulwahid Osman, said his parents and close family members did not see the behavioral changes that investigators described. "They believed he was doing as good as he used to do," Osman said. "That is not the son they knew."

Witnesses told the FBI that Adan, who was armed with two steak knives and later shot and killed, referenced Islam during the Sept. 17 attack at Crossroads Center mall.

I thought we would be following the EU directives to never ever mention Islam in conjunction with terrorism.

Question— do converts to Islam become better people? Do converts cast aside old vices and develop greater tolerance and a love for humanity???, in short are they better off due to a Muslim conversion???

Islam is a Satanic cult.

That’s an interesting coincidence, but do they have a clue on his motive?

They are still working to “unravel” the motive.

He was...
A. Upset at the soaring homeless population?
Tired of being called deplorable?
Wanted to pay higher taxes?
Was questioning his cisnormal patriarchy?

or B. Just turning his life around as a rap singer.

Well Miss Marmelstein, during the crusades the men got to tell the women what to do. Who’s Howard Zinn? Is that someone I should know?

Anyone who converts to that insanity has de facto chosen to repudiate his American citizenship and needs to be deported to the muzzard country of his choice.

Yes, you should.

And if we have to go back to the crusades - you muzzie sympathizer - maybe you should not be on FR.

“Yes, you should.

I think we have some cross communication here. I’m more of a Charles Martel fan. I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened.

Write clearly and you won't denigrate Catholics who fought back against the muzzie hoards. Also, you should know who Howard Zinn is if you want to play here.
