I heard several descriptions early on. He was described as Indian, whether that was supposed to mean native or from the Indian subcontinent, I don't know. He was described as Iranian, with a Muslim name given, Mohammad something or other.
His appearance is somehow unsettling and unusual, so maybe people automatically assumed “other” and filled in the blank? I've wondered if he wasn't like that little creep from Marin County, John Walker Lindh, who actually had a Muslim name, myself. There hasn't been any attempt to rectify the error regarding the Muslim name that I'm aware.

Well, I heard he was a Tea Party member, a terrorist, a Muslim, and a member of a violent WSO Black Bloc group, etc, etc.
India? Indian? Muslim, Iranian?
Looks like a typical Hollywood type to me.
We can speculate about what he looks like forever.
Look, if this guy had any connections to violent groups or Muslim terrorist, there would be substantial evidence by now.
That is unless the FBI, law enforcement an army of media/individuals researching his background, and all his friends, family and acquaintances are all lying or covering up.
I don't think this is likely. How about you?
