I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A MEMBER OF THE FRATERNITY JOEL HINRICHS WAS IN!!

Looks like I may have jumped to the conclusion too quick, I tracked down which Frat he was in and tracked down the head of that Frat at OU and gave him a call and asked him if Joel was a Muslim convert. He said no he was definately not. So looks like we jumped to a conclusion. But we should all never be too quick to accept everything we hear from the media, we have to stay vigilant and on top of these things!

Even if this guy wasn't a muslim why in the he!! hasn't this story gotten more attention?

What did they say about Joel? Was he under a lot of pressure? What do they attribute his suicide to?

Always good advice. When did the media say anything about him being a convert to Islam? As I recall it was some freepers.

also, why would he commit suicide? and did he have explosives experience? this kid could have been an unlucky victim of this.

Impossible! That NEVER happens here!

Did you ask some obvious questions - like what they think made him do this? Something about his life and was he depressed, etc? Was he a loner - who did he hang out with?

Thank you for checking: I wish the MSM did the same.

Yes, I too immediately assumed he was Muslim/Muslim-convert.
