I was not discussing the police and their willingness to discuss the case. I was simply saying that we should not jump to the conclusion that the perpetrator was a Muslim. I know Christians from Christian families with the name Samir. I have no experience with the name Zawahri (beyond knowing that Zawahiri is the name of OBL’s number two).
I see from post 23 that jjotto knows Lebanese Christians with the name Zawahri.
It is not a good idea to jump to the conclusion that because the police will not discuss the case that necessarily the perpetrator was a Muslim. Just for emphasis I will repeat - jump to the conclusion. Is there any chance that he was a Muslim? Of course. Is there any chance that he considered himself a Christian? Of course. We need more information in this case than his father’s name and the perception that the police are not talking about it.
OK Cap, no muslims here, I’ll just move along now.
