Utah gunman, 18, was Muslim from Bosnia

It's premature to classify this as another act of Muslim terrorism before we know more about the killer. He may have been of Muslim ancestry, as his first name indicates, but a lot of Bosnian Muslims are Muslims in name only--it's possible that the religion meant nothing to him and that it was more of a Columbine-type event. There should be people who knew him who can shed light on his motives--if the media doesn't shut down the story.

It's better if his actions had nothing to do with Islam, or else the off-duty policemen who killed him might be accused of a hate crime.

A friend said Talovic was from the war-torn country of Bosnia and that the trauma he experienced while growing may have led to him snapping for some reason.

Let's all pity the poor little terrorist!

Obviously, I agree with you completely. I get tired of these tales only partially told.

The 18-year-old gunman who killed five people in a crowded Utah shopping mall was a Bosnian Muslim refugee who was prepared to kill many more, say investigators.

Who'da thunkit?

It was lead or second lead on every network I saw -- it was too late for last night's news.

[Abcdefg]

Look for it on Drudge (not MSM, but a reflection of). My local online papers (Startle Gram) only had the lame a$$ AP version of events and it was not easy to find.

"I guess I'm not surprised that there is no mention of him being a Muslim in the mainstream news."

EXACTLY!

Not one word in the LSM that the murderer was a muslim!

[weegee]

No one ever cared how many or few other KKK members murderous white supremacists hung around with. A violent "lone nut" is still a violent threat.

How soon before CAIR issues a statement complaining about "backlash"

5...4...3...2...1...

[weegee]

Considering the press suppressed such news in the Tampa Teen kamikaze case and the DC sniper duo case, and here...

it is getting to be hard to point to a case where it wasn't suppressed awhile.

[Alouette]

They'll sweep it away the same as they did with the Seattle killings at the JCC.

And the El Al shootings at LAX.

So I guess this blows the Leftist theory out of the water that if we just leave them alone, they'll love us.

Clinton did everything he could to appease the Muslims in the Balkans. This is probably a pretty good sign of what we can expect if we cut-and-run from Iraq and "leave the Islamic Imperialists alone."

[JimSEA]

A violent "lone nut" is still a violent threat.

Of course, but wouldn't you like to know if, instead of a "lone nut", you have a walnut tree?

[weegee]

The media doesn't keep a count of how many Americans have died in domestic terrorist attacks.

Do we start with the 1993 WTC bombing? The CIA headquarters sniper? The RFK assassination?

This number needs to be kept in running tally.

[weegee]

Bubba "left them alone" after the WTC bombing and we were rewarded with the embassy and USS Cole bombings.

Actually the Bush strategy HAS cut down on major terrorist attacks.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Bump.

"You don't want to ever say it's good we were there and killed somebody,

Yes we do.
