Did you look at the composite sketch? I don't think he looks like your average white biker dude at all. Article said they are investigating the possibility that he may have visited jihad websites.

He doesn't sound like an Master of Science degree holder but a search for CMM [assuming they weren't his initials] found this:

The way I read that it just says that he may have been a member of a terroist group that is talked about at jihad web sites. Not that he was visiting them.
