SALT LAKE CITY (Feb. 19) -- At 1 a.m. last Tuesday, the parents of Sulejman Talovic called the police to report him missing. After watching television news coverage, they feared he might be among those dead or wounded in a shooting rampage at a mall here. One hour later, with the arrival of detectives, they discovered the shocking truth, that their son, 18, was the gunman.

In six minutes on the night of Feb. 12, Mr. Talovic shot nine customers at the Trolley Square mall, killing five and seriously injuring four others. The attack ended when the police shot and killed Mr. Talovic after he refused to surrender his 12-gauge shotgun.

Mr. Talovic's motive remains a mystery, investigators say.

Never does the Times flat out say that this murderer was a Muslim. Nowhere does it explore whether he had any contact with radical Muslims, either in a mosque or elsewhere. As usual, I spit on the "journalism" of the Times.

They need to ask themselves...."Did we raise him in a religion whose adherents all over the world are killing innocent people?"

He was a muslim.

The murder site was two blocks from the mosque he attended. All this ink spilt about his rough childhood, part-time jobs and poor little victim crap and not one word about his mosque!

Nowhere do any of the MSM seem to be able to connect any of the Muslim killings in America with their "religion of peace."

The lies and distortions continue. Fortunately, our local rag is down to an 8 page Section A. Half of those pages are mostly ads with "news" relegated to tabloid trash and other snippets of AP cropped stories (also not worth reading.)

When they get done pondering that head scratcher, they can move on to some of the other great questions of our time, such as

- Does it get dark at night?
- Does a bear wear a fur coat?
- Is water wet?
- Does the Pope wear a big hat?

And in the Salt Lake local press, not a word have I heard about whether he ever attended the mosque. You'd think they'd be interviewing everyone there to see what they know.

I sure the father will find the answer to his question in the Koran....

They are STILL trying to figure it out? I would say it has to do with genetic stupidity then.

Let me take the mystery out of it for them. Hatred is the "mystery." He's a Muslim. Muslims hate Americans. Muslims kill Americans. End of story.

...well I blame the media...

Islam, the religion of hatred and death is solely responsible. It sounds like this family is searching to shift blame from their hideous belief system.
