I thought about this yesterday, and posted it this morning on the long thread about the killings, and discovered it HAD been mentioned, but it took over 900 posts before someone made the connection that as an English major he might have been referencing Herman Melville's character in Moby Dick rather than referencing Islam.
Oh good heavens, now Fox has the BODY LANGUAGE guy on.
Interestingly, Ishmael, son of Haggar and Abraham, Jews consider to be an evil outsider. But Islamists...and here's where it gets interesting for me re Cho...consider Ishmael to be the father of Arabs and revere him.
All the info so far about the deranged monster, Cho, point IMO to not just a perverted need for attention but to an attempt to emulate terrorist suicide bombers, who also left behind videos of themselves.
Even w/the excuse being offered of his mental illness, I cannot forgive what he did. He was not a victim, as he claims, but a perpetrator.
He fed his inner rage and resentments until they erupted in the killing of innocents....just as terrorists do.
The danger now for us all is that there might very well be more like him....anywhere...imitators, hoping for their own 15 minutes.
