Yes, but a devout Muslim would have nothing to do with Tarot. I just can't buy this scenario, even though I would prefer to think that we don't have a case of an American killing his fellow Americans.

How well do you know "devout" muslims? LEOs know a foreign writer when they see it -- and no American would write the message found on the tarot card. Also tarot card experts say the way in which the tarot card was used was incorrect.

and no American would write the message found on the tarot card.

I would. Why not? It sounded perfectly fine to me. I am God. Dear Policeman. Perfectly acceptable grammar.

"What about Dear God, I am a Policeman"?

Dear Policeman, I am God. Dear Editor, I am Anger. Dear Murderous Dictator, I am Retribution. I speak like this. I am American. That's like saying no American would conjugate the verb "to be" - I be, you be, he be, we be, y'all be etc. When you say "No American" would do this- you're talking about 280,000,000 different little snowflakes- each with his/her/its own way of doing things and manner of speaking.
