Boy, people are desperate for this guy to be a Muslim Terrorist.

As noted by a previous poster, claiming YOU are God is really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY sacriligeous in Islam, more so even than in traditional Christianity. They even consider the whole Father/Son/Holy Spirit thing in most forms of Christianity to be pretty pagan and suspect; Islam is about THE most Monotheistic religion there is, and the absolute MOST important tenet is "There is NO God BUT God."

Of course, if you REALLY want to believe something you can spin it either way; we've got people (absurdly) trying to claim a Tarot Card with "I am God" on it is consistent with an Islamic terrorist, and then people claiming that, because it's SO inconsistent with a Muslim terrorist, that it's the perfect deception.


If one thinks over the history of terrorism, deliberately going out of one's way trying to make it look like it ISN'T terrorism or is done by someone else is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, rare.

John, I agree with you. However, my first thought was/is of a psychotic muslim. And him imagining that he is the hand of God dealing death to the infidels. As to an organized terrorist attack, I doubt that is the case. We have no problem believing that "christians" can become psychotic and execute people for their "god".

And yes, I am "desperate" for this guy to be other than a white good ole boy redneck with a rebel flag on the back window of his pickup truck. LOL

I would like to once more point out that there is NO CONFIRMATION OF THE TAROT CARD STORY BY ANY POLICE OFFICIAL This may have changed since I last made this point if so please tell me when and where this has changed. Until the story is confirmed you may well be speculating on a false premise.

I'm open minded either way regarding whether it's Islamic terrorism, but it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that the police have changed what the tarot card actually said, in order to tick off the shooter. Instead of I am God it could say I am Allah.
