Fred....I did not say that I was. You point to one source and say it must be jihad. Yes, Muhammad belonged to NOI and other militant Islamic groups. That, related to his crime, was incidental. Considering you are half a world away from what happened and Muhammad was captured at the I-70 rest stop miles from my home, I am a much more authoritative source than any you'll find on Google, or whatever.
Now....both of you pay attention.
When has a jihadist ever pulled off some sort of stunt and not taken the opportunity to praise the cause, mention Allah, or espouse Islamic rhetoric? NONE OF THIS HAPPENED IN THE COURSE OF THE SHOOTINGS.
I'll say it again, since I know of all the posters I have addressed, I am the ONLY ONE OF THE SIX INVOLVED that is an actual resident of the immediate area where this occurred. I watched the daily briefings by Chief Moose. I sat in the traffic jams on I-270 and I-495 while police searched cars for the wrong person. Not one time, in any of the letters left at the crime scene, did Muhammad or Malvo espouse any Islamic rhetoric in relation to the crimes. As I said before, the authorities were looking for a lone, white male in his 30's. That is not exactly your typical jihadist.
The motives for Muhammad's actions were made perfectly clear during his trial. While it is true he practices Islam, that was not his prime motivation in the snipings, as it was not in the robbery/murder in the convenience store on his way to the MD area. He was an opportunist and jumped on the Islamoterrorist bandwagon of the times. He wanted to seem more important and relevant to events than he was. Your ignorance in this matter only fuels a fallacy.
