Those who know him from high school and college, who've been on T.V., haven't mentioned word one about any mention by Cho, of Islam. Yet as soon as this happened, people here have talked about how he had to be a Muslim......based on absolutely no evidence to back it up and they talked about as a certainty.
That's because Tom Clancy and 24 are more satisfying and understandable than real life, which is often senseless and complicated.
I wouldn't go so far as to label them 'fantasy-prone personalities', but you get the picture.
Those who knew him from high school? The guy who doesn’t say a word to anyone about anything? It’s a wonder any of them even know the dude’s name, let alone what religions or movements he was interested in or sympathetic to.
And I’m not sure what your point is about the “Ax”. Because the reference is still a mystery, you can say with certitude that it had no Koranic significance to the dead mass murder?
You can say it, but it doesn’t make it true.
That's what fits in the box. FReepers like their world to be one dimensional and predictable. Unfortunately, the world just isn't that way.
talked about it...
There are many here that are still convinced that he was muslim. Anything happens and people jump on the RoP bandwagon.
There were also those who were convinced he was a secret agent sent by the Chinese Govt.
