he apparently suffered from mental illness of some sort--and somehow, you tie him in with Muslims?

Put the word extremist in there at an appropriate place and the answer is yes. My comment was mostly geared towards how the media refused to mention the Beltway Snipers' Islamic connections. Of course this being the typed word makes subtle contextual nuances tough to express in a short pithy comment.

From his writings, the beltway sniper was more influenced by racist hatred and anger at the government from his time in the military. He was not an "islamic terrorist" in the same way as one trained in an afghan camp and part of an organized plot.
