I am not saying the person may not be middleeastern! That is a distinct possibility. Personally i think it is a domestic nut job but there is always the chance it is a foreign terrorist (and on another thread i told some fellow freepers i would eat my hat if it turned out to be Al Queda).

What i was saying in that post is that i think saying Moose and his fellow cops are protecting the perp because he is a muslim terrorist is up there with reports of Sasquatch and the lil' green men with antennae. That was my focus not whether the guy is muslim or not. That is a possibility (that the perp or perps are al queda) but i refuse to accept that the area police are refusing to apprehend the perp because he is muslim.

And that is why i said maybe my refusal to accept that theory is due to my not having the latest tin-foil accessory.

You make sense to me.

I also think it is ridiculous to think the gubmint is covering up anyone because he might be a muslim terrorist.

I personally don't think it is a "real" terrorist because it isn't big enough... So far this guy has gone through a few dollars worth of ammunition within a few mile radius in one part of the country. Someone on minimum wage could fund a bigger operation than this that could freak out a whole country... not just a few counties. I am a betting chick, and I think this guy is a lone nut job, whatever his creed turns out to be.
