The only positive identification is his military connection. Yes he is a Muslim, but it would be inaccurate for a journalist to delve into speculation as to Islamicist connections as of yet.

I have no problem with holding off yet proclaiming the Muslim label. Everyone knows he is a Muslim by his name as it is; it is not rocket science to determine this.

You obviously don't have a 20 year career in the Army and KNOW that the Army doesn't produce this kind of idiot.

Islam, however, has a track record for doing so.

AND the fact that he converted to Islam 17 years ago, AND the fact that he changed his surname to Mohammed. GET A GRIP!

If its not rocket science to say he is a muslim, why isn't anyone saying it?

How would like to be introduced as a cub scout? Perhaps you were in the cub scouts years ago, when a tike, before getting kicked out for being unable to cut it ...you might say but hey, I'm a successful journalist I did this and did that since then....well, well? (you were probably a great cub scout, just completing the analogy, no freeper cheap shot as is so common on this thread intended)
There are plenty of other ways to positively identify who he is that are better, they just go against the liberal ideology for the folks who are still disappointed that it didn't end up being Tim McVeigh's half brother
