I just looked up an old article on Kwon.
The men were hoping to get weapons training, Kwon later testified, to defend their "brothers and sisters in Afghanistan."Compare that to Cho's manifesto:

"I didn’t have to do this. I could have left. I could have fled. But no, I will no longer run. It’s not for me. For my children, for my brothers and sisters that you f---, I did it for them,"

I wish folks would stop stretching thin pieces of information into tomes of assumption! I haven’t seen any proof whatsoever that Cho was anything more than a sad, angry young man who felt like he’d been dumped on by society, and who decided to take it out on as many people as he possibly could.

Interesting observations. He had a reddish area on his forehead. Has this been explained? It is too early to dismiss his ties to Islam. Has he been out of the country since he first arrived? I heard that students at his high school were forbidden to talk to the media, but I doubt this is true.

I once lived in Egypt.
I do not like Michael Jackson and have ranted about him on occasion.
I once played paintball with a guy from Pakistan.
My next door neighbor’s brother in law’s third cousin works for Halliburton in Iraq.
Should I now expect the ATF and FBI and CIA to kick in my front door and send me and my entire family to Gitmo?
That earned you a beer. Why don’t you reeeeeach over here and get it.
