I don't think the shooter is an Al Qaeda terrorist because one of his victims was an Indian (Hindu) cab driver. I know there is no love lost between Hindus and Muslims, but physically, Indians are indistinguishable from Pakistanis, and can be similar in appearance to Arabs. If the shooter is a radical Muslim, why would he shoot someone who could very well be Muslim himself, when there are plenty of targets around who are probably not Muslims, i.e., whites, hispanics, and asians? I know that Al Qaeda has killed Muslims in the past, but only as "collateral damage" in attacks against Westerners, or specifically targeted individuals who hold anti-fundamentalist views, e.g., Sadat and Masoud.

You're off base. The man wouldn't have to be of any particular religion; the al Qaeda murderers killed indescriminately on 9/11.

That cab driver had two American flags prominently displayed on his cab.
