The father of Trolley Square shooter Sulejmen Talovic apologizes over and over for the ordeal. Suljo Talovic says no one who knew his son saw this coming, and he believes someone pushed him to do it.

Suljo Talovic doesn't know where his son got the guns or how he learned how to use them.

Suljo Talovic, Father of Shooter: "Somebody got (the guns)…and maybe (they were) training him and tell(ing) him (to), ‘go shoot somebody.'"

Question: So you think that somebody influenced him maybe to do this?

Suljo Talovic: "Yeah. I think somebody."

Talovic says the tragedy is taking a toll on his family.

Repeatedly, in a lengthy interview with KSL Newsradio, Talovic expressed the sentiment that someone trained and pushed his son to kill. He apologizes for the ordeal, saying it makes him feel horrible, like killing himself.

That's interesting. I didn't realize it was the same mosque.

People who deny that this is terrorism do so by saying that there was no organized movement behind it and that it does not appear to have been a plot by several people. Aside from the fact that even an individual can commit terrorist acts (that is, an attempt to force one's ideological beliefs on another or to force them to abandon their own by means of physical attacks), AQ called on Muslims some time ago to start attacking individually, without being members of a cell or expecting to achieve massive kills. The objective of terrorism is to terrorize, and having a population of people ideologically disposed to go out and kill their fellow citizens anywhere, at any time, with no provocation and no overall goal, is certainly terrorizing.

Check out Suljo first. He is a Muslim closest to the murderer, ain't he?

That's true - the idea that some mastermind is organizing these monsters is misleading. They are being indoctrinated to do so at every level. Islamic schools, Islamic functions, Islam camps - they are there to affirm the belief that Islam is superior to all cultures and all Islamicists must follow through in jihad to bring about the birth of a full Islamic culture. I feel bad for the dad - the truth is, today Islam youth, through the use of Wahhibist revival/indoctrination, is much more radical than most of their parents were. And you can only stop them permanently one way at the moment - death...
