I still believe he was a very sick homosexual. His guilt over his ‘urges’ while trying to conform to the strictures of Islam might have tipped him over the edge, thinking he could ‘buy his way out of degeneracy and into Islam heaven.’
I got that feeling too. And was his picture in San Francisco as opposed to Phoenix, where he attending pilot training, was a hint too.
You have to wonder...it’s my understanding that a male flight attendant (which he was at one point) has a fairly high likelihood of being homosexual (in my experience it’s been pretty obvious). Gay + Muslim is a really incompatible thing. Are we being duped? Was he gay? Does gay trump Muslim? ...probably.
Just thinking aloud :)
