The one thing in particular makes me think that it's not Al Qaeda terrorists are not doing the shooting ... the Tarot card supposedly left behind at one scene. Two things about it ... as I understand it, no self-respecting Mooselem would touch or look at, or even write upon, a graven image of God, let alone write on it in manner so to present himself as a God to others, even his infidel prey.

You may be correct, but there are two other possibilities, the Tarot card may not have been left the sniper, and two, he (they) may be home grown Muslims and are not as adverse to using graven images.
