CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The family of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in Chattanooga said in a statement that their son suffered from depression and was not the person they knew.

"There are no words to describe our shock, horror, and grief," said the statement, provided Saturday to the Associated Press by a lawyer representing the family of Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. "The person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved. For many years, our son suffered from depression. It grieves us beyond belief to know that his pain found its expression in this heinous act of violence."

If one follows the Koran he or she should be depressed.

Headline is probably right. Wouldn't you be depressed if your pastor told you that you were going straight to hell unless you killed a bunch of Americans. Preferably American GIs. and the onlyist way into heaven was to make sure you didn't survive the attack.
I know I would be depressed.

Oh, absolutely, CAIR is the apologist for radical islam

There is no radical Islam, there is only Islam.

No, he suffered from Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
It can strike at any time, but only muslims.

There is only one cure, the .45 caliber cure.

So a Muslim radical who goes jihadist is to be pittied as a victim. (Gee, didn’t see that coming /s)

But a crazy white kid who goes off the rails is an exemplar of society’s ills...

Do I have it right?

He was “depressed” because America is not a Muslim country and wanted to do his part for the Democrats’ military reduction program. This is retarded BS.

And probably on anti depressants. That seems to be the common thread in the nonmohammedan mass shootings. Why not a jihadist spree fueled by drugs? If it is the case then the drugs would likely just affect the choice of time and place for the killings. And he would otherwise have gone to the ME to cut heads off.

At some point if people of Muslim faith who live in America, don’t stand up against the oppressive & violent doctrine in their teaching under go a religious reformation and take their place as Americans, there will be retaliation against them and war in the streets of America. They better stand up soon as Americans or die & be deported as followers of the violent cult of Islam.

but most mass-shooters (upwards of 80%) are on psych meds.

and most Moslems are psychs. The religion exacerbates any tendencies that way and probably by means of selection and survival of the fittest,that society over the centuries has produced mild to severe psychosis as a social norm.

Islamic jihadists seek out these people as ideal recruits for lone wolf attacks. These mostly online recruiters use Islam as the tool to manipulate these individuals. However, the shooter was not a victim, but was motivated by his religion with only prodding from the recruiters. Islam is based on the killing of unbelievers and it takes little to turn someone who regards himself as a pius Muslim into a murdering terrorist.

They know that the media will take that and make sure that everyone in the country hears it.

CAIR regularly gives media advice to family’s of these muslim terrorists to make them sound like victims.
