It's premature to classify this as another act of Muslim terrorism before we know more about the killer. He may have been of Muslim ancestry, as his first name indicates, but a lot of Bosnian Muslims are Muslims in name only--it's possible that the religion meant nothing to him and that it was more of a Columbine-type event. There should be people who knew him who can shed light on his motives--if the media doesn't shut down the story.

It's better if his actions had nothing to do with Islam, or else the off-duty policemen who killed him might be accused of a hate crime.

Obviously, I agree with you completely. I get tired of these tales only partially told.

Sure.
As my favorite talk show host, a mild mannered and reasoned man points out over and over (a change of attitude over the last five years), discriminating, and being able to make generalizations from past experience, is one of the unique characteristics of man. It's what makes us uniquely human.

Ignoring the obvious, and this uniqely human ability for the sake of Political Correctness, or compassionate brownie points is only possible because the odds of your being a victim is very small.
