The president of an OU student organization said he believes Joel Henry Hinrichs III was neither a Muslim nor a visitor to local mosques.

Ashraf Hussein, the president of OU's Muslim Student Association, also confirmed that up to seven people were either questioned or detained regarding the bombing death of Hinrichs, a 21-year-old engineering student.

Did anyone else find it odd the way Ashraf was identified as "The president of an OU student organization" and not referred to by name and organiztion until the second paragraph. I almost missed that it was the same person.

Yes! The first sentence does not identify the source as a Muslim. The second sentence clarifies who he actually is. Do you think maybe the reporter is trying to justify her silly claims by putting the info in as favorable a light as possible?
