I believe this young lady was Jewish also...
This was not what it is being packaged as. I believe the evidence points to this as a Jihadist attack. There is no eveidence that it was anything other than a freelancer—no affiliations noted. Similar to moron that wanted to blow up Cherryvale Mall in Rockford IL last year. Cho was just a better Jihadist.

The following is a part of a paper I wrote for a class on the concept of God, if you're interested:
Dismayed about the practice of his people in regards to their idolatry he needed to find a way to disprove his people. He waited for the opportune time when they all left the town for a celebration by the riverbank and came to the temple armed with an ax. There were plates of food that were laid out in front of the statues as offerings and he jokingly remarked to the idols, "Why do you not eat? The food is getting cold." With his ax he demolished all of the statues except the biggest one and hung the axe over the remaining idol's neck. When the people returned to the town they were stunned to see all their gods broken. They were furious and immediately accused Ibrahim of the act. Ibrahim said, "The biggest of them has done it, ask them if they can speak." They replied angrily, "You know very well they can't speak." Ibrahim then said, "Do you then worship besides Allah, things that can neither profit you, nor harm you? Fie upon you, and upon that which you worship besides Allah! Have you then no sense?" The people fell silent as their minds and reason were agreeing with Ibrahim, but were overtaken by their pride and immediately called for revenge for their Gods. They built a hot fire and placed Ibrahim inside of it. However, Allah says in the Qur'an, "We said to the fire. 'O fire become cool and peace on Ibrahim." This beautiful story of faith and the unity of Allah is explained by Allah in the Qur'an in surah Anbiya (21). Ibrahim despite the pressure of his people and family had his heart opened by Allah to true monotheism and true belief in one deity.
You said — “I believe the evidence points to this as a Jihadist attack.”
What evidence??! A Jewish sounding name? A phrase that someone says is in a note? I mean if this is “evidence” then we might as well say Bush ordered the planes to fly into the buildings, too (that’s what some of the Muslims say...). And that’s using the same type of “evidence” as some are using here trying to say there’s an “Islamic” connection.
You’re stretching so much on this you could touch New York while still standing in L.A.
And this has nothing to do with the Islamic terrorists being real threats. They are, but they are not under every rock you turn over and their not in every whackos head that exists in this country...
