"I don't think Sirhan's assassination of Kennedy belongs on the list; he is a Christian, not a Muslim."
IIRC Sirhan said that the reason he shot RFK was because of his pro-Israeli stand. The story was very heavy in the media. You might call the Michael Medved Show and ask him what Sirhan said. I believe Michael was working on the RFK campaign, and he might have been in the hotel where RFK was shot. Anyway, IIRC, the first Muslim shot was fired at Teddy Kennedy's brother. His older brother's shooting is still a mystery.

I also remember that Sirhan shot Kennedy because he believed Kennedy was too pro-Israel.
I'm not defending Sirhan, obviously. But if we are keeping track of Islamic terror, then as far as I can tell this crime doesn't belong in the list.
