The occult is very well known and used in the middle east. I can't see why people don't think the Tarot card would be used by Muslims.

I don't doubt that. I just don't see where the card would be of any benefit to Al Queda. I think if it turns out that the perp is a middle easterner with an Islamist motive, then he is working solo or maybe a small unaffiliated group that organized on it's own here in the US and made it's own rules, not a trained in Afghanistan crew.

Islam provides for this problem. It is acceptable to tell a lie to protect the faith. If you believe devout, hard-core, fundamentalist type Moslems wouldn't use tarot cards, then, if it is necessary to lead you astray, it's OK for them to use tarot cards.
