November 1, 2002 -- Investigators are becoming increasingly convinced that Beltway sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad went on his rampage because he planned to murder his ex-wife in what would appear to be a random slaying by a psycho spree killer, cops said.

I had a theory, early on, that this might be the case.

Total bs. This is an actual plot from a different spree killer in the past. The media will print any and all scenarios except one: Muslim terrorist.

I agree. They have latched on to a scenario that allows them to ignore the Islamic reasons for these attacks.

This may be the case. But why did they shoot the other victim, or possible other victims, in other states? And why did he have a gps, computer, a travel agent calling a homeless shelter, possible travel out of the country, etc? That is alot of money going around for a couple of unemployed guys.

I know crazy people sometimes band together but I find it difficult to believe that one man can convince someone else to kill that many people, when the true goal is the death of just one person without sharing a similiar belief system. Or a faith. An extremly strong bond of some kind.

It is my understanding that Islam fosters just this type of kinship.

No, but that is what the liberal media will try to spin it!

A better clue to his motive is that Muhammad was a devout radical Muslim extremist.
Muhammad helped provide security for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's "Million Man March" in Washington, D.C.

FARRAKHAN: "America, oh America. This great city of Washington is like Jerusalem. And the Bible says "Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem, you that stoneth and killith the prophets of God. Right from this beautiful Capitol and from the beautiful White House have come commands to kill the prophets. ...And from this house, you stoned and killed the prophets of God that would have liberated Black people, liberated America. ...Well, America, great America. Like Jerusalem that stoned and killed the prophets of God.
...God is angry. ...He's angry because you're wrong and you want to stone and kill the people who want to make you see you're wrong. ... It's easy for us to say, the White man did this, the White man that, the White man did the other, he deprived us of that. He killed the Indians. He did this. Yes, he did all of that.

It would be interesting to find out if he served with or knew Timothy McVeigh in Iraq.

Osbourne, the killing car's co-owner is arrested in Flint Michigan. Freepers here all shout CHECK OUT DETROIT! It turns out there IS a Johnnie Muhammad who lives or lived in Detroit. A database firm says that person is actually John A Muhammad, Age 41, Detroit Michigan. Police: Are you listening? I hope you've already been there to check it out. (I know our Alabama men-in-blue heroes certainly would have done this)

Agree about the b.s. I didn't and still don't see a "profiler" asking for a database search for all the FREEDOM loving Americans (/sarcasm) who have taken an Islamic name, and yet this ANTI-FREEDOM CRIMINAL FITS THAT PROFILE. Why not a profile of Democratic Crime Syndicate operative, Cynthia McKinney's financial backers? Her hate speeches may be the "Declaration of Independence" to a Muslim extremist. She may be out of office but the money people who supported her are still free to roam the landscape. This criminal enterprise, is much larger than we are led to believe. Mainstream propaganda doesn't touch that one.

They [police] believe he planned to terrorize the area with random sniper attacks, then shoot Green.

Well, this must be right, at least as right as everything else they guessed at.

Mildred should now "throw herself" at Chief Moose in gratitude for his "brilliant" police work.

Wouldn't that be a storybook ending!

Why just one or the other? The gay muslim terrorist could have had multiple motives for his killings.

I agree with you. These killers are not the typical serial murderers, killers with one set pattern. They've killed close up; they've killed from a distance. They've killed in a serial pattern; they've killed in a spree pattern. They've killed for robbery; they've killed just for the helluva it. They've killed for a probable personal motive; they've killed strangers. It was their randomness and unpredictability that made them so dangerous.

Killing Mohammed's ex-wife is one possible motive out of any number of motives these killers have employed.

I agree with you. This man was overflowing with resentments and psychopathic behavior. He had many grudges, and could have been "saving" the execution of his wife for some particular occasion.

When studying the map of the DC/Md/Va shootings I noticed the avoidance of that southeast sector of the DC suburbs, and tried to figure out the significance of it.

The five deaths in a cluster most likely relate to the '5%er' group of the Nation of Islam.

Then he went east to the school, and southwest to the shopping malls, but never southeast. At the time, I figured that the area offered too few escape routes, but the stalking aspect of that area being of the most importance to him makes much more sense.

Horse crap... They would have traced her ties back to him and he would have no alibi. It would defeat the purpose of killing everyone else because the victims get extensive background checks.

This of course, is just my opinion.

Are we to assume that everyone acts rationally, logically as if they had a "business plan". Evil people are, by self-definition inconsistent liars and deceivers. They can have two unrelated motivations that are both primary motivations for an act.

Those of us who value logic are illogical if we think everyone is like us.
