I dunno, in many of the pictures from NY there are a lot of people wearing the headscarves. Makes me think there may be a high percentage of muslims in that center. Why would they come over here to attack muslims?

Besides I would think they would go for a higher profile target and not a community center type place.

Doubt it. The shooter was a recently fired IBM employee from Viet Nam.

There's no logic to this, after all. Some of them are just confused.

Really? If true, it’s a bad sign; I always wondered if they’d start small-scale stuff like car bombings or shooting massacres. But it’s hard to know whether this is true or not.

I wonder how the press/open-borders crowd will spin this, if true.

Sounds plausible.

Psychotic breakdown = Taliban.

Satanic possession = Taliban.

However in this case it’s unlikely that the Vietnamese refugee was Taliban or any other Islamic nutjob, no matter how responsible Islam may be for much of the worlds hateful, psychotic, and purely evil behavior.

OPINION:

What’s in this jihadi’s drinking water?

He said, “They were my men.”

Apparently, only 1 guy did the shooting and he’s dead.

That guy is NOT confused. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

From the comments on that first link

“Don’t be surprised that this guy may very well been a psuedo fan of the Hannity’s,Dobbs’, Limbaughs’ and O’reillys’ of the world. For all of their Anti-immigrant, homophobic, boderline racist nightly rantings on tv, these are the kind of Lunatics that they attract. I don’t suggest that those jokers condone this after all they will put their own anti-immigrant spin on this but the blood of the victims is on their hands too.”

And here I always thought it was the fascists who killed people wholesale and not religious conservatives.

Not IF, WHEN.

And thats why I don’t think this is a taliban effort. They would send a suicide bomber to a mall.

I’m sure the story that the sheethead claimed responsibility is true but I doubt the claim is even remotely true.

[Sorta like the Africa Free Press does...]

This Tallibon dude can claim he is the Easter Bunny...it does not make it true.

I just got in off the road (3am PST)and the last radio report (fictoinal or not) was that the perp was embarressed and felt he was being mocked after he was fired.

We dont know the truth yet folks.

Mahmoon Shafi, 53, said he fixed Voong's boiler and water heater late last year, and remembers him as a troubled man. "He was a very nice guy, but he seemed very, very depressed," said Shafi. Voong often mentioned that his wife and kids had left him, Shafi said. "He once said to me, 'I did everything good for everybody, but nobody ever did anything good for me.'"

Maybe Mahmood did something "good" for him and gave him a Koran? Would they report it? hmmm

"Representative Maurice Hinchey, whose district includes Binghamton, told the New York Times that indications are the gunman was an immigrant from Vietnam."
