I believe he saw what was to him a “scantally clad” woman (nearly naked-—that’s how Muzzie would view pajamas in public), showing a great deal of skin (it was hot summertime), blonde, probably traces of make-up, even unacceptably assertive or impolite speaking to a man (not behaving appropriately subservient to a Muslim man)....and he was TRIGGERED.
Years of Muslim teaching easily overrode-—consciously and subconsiously-—anything he may have learned about non-Muslim or American culture.
He instinctively shot this practically (in HIS eyes) naked, breaker of all Allah’s laws, committing the most egregious blasphemy of Allah imaginable and IN THE FACE of a MUSLIM MAN (who rules and owns women) and in PUBLIC, the public of ISLAM-—SOMALIS-—what he viewed as a caliphate.
Killing her was resolution of a mild cognitive dissonance in his mind (which the MUSLIM “side” of the dissonance easily triumphed over.)
Has anyone postulated this before? Book it. This is what happened. A muslim was triggered by a barely clothed woman in public (in what HE considered MULSIM public space.)
Simply put, he was enforcing the law as he saw it according to all oaths and pledges he’d ever made: but it was SHARIA LAW.
I have a different perspective, having lived in the Middle East among Muslims. The Western mind cannot conceive of the madness that infects the mind of the typical Muslim. Not all are bad, by any means, but a significant minority are so damaged by their hate-filled religion that they lash out violently and irrationally at the slightest provocation.
