We must not forget, of course, that he grew up as a muslim, and I've read quite a few opinion pieces that growing up islam can interfere with the ability to use reason, to think logically.

I think that the mom & dad are going to tell us alot more about thier son, as I believe that warning signs started MANY years ago, ya know?
