A-ha.

Let's see what some real journalists can do with this minor detail. Did the shooter become a Muslim before his spree?

I think the new media should get some credit for keeping this angle alive.

It is estimated that there are up to 40,000 Muslim adherents in Korea, excluding resident migrant workers. In South Korea, the Muslim population has been steadily increasing since the introduction of the faith shortly after the Korean War. The Muslim community is centered around Seoul, where the first large 20th-century mosque was built in 1976 using the funds of the Malaysian Islamic Mission and other Islamic countries. - Wiki

I saw it as similar to Ishmael who was the biblical son of Abraham whose’ descendants founded islam.

It is estimated that growing up in the NoVA/DC burbs and attending a place such as Va Tech would expose someone, especially an English Major, to rabid anti Western thought as well as apologists for Islamism.

Thank you for your forbearance.

He also uses the word “Debauchery” which is clearly defined in the Koran and other Islamic writings like

“Burkha Vs Bikini
The Debauchery Of American Womanhood”

I doubt he was Al Qeada and I also doubt he was a true believer. I think he was more of a wannabe jihadi.

HOWEVER, that doesn’t make him any less a terrorist working in the name of allah. Too many of the sudden jihad syndrome cases slip under the terrorism radar based on the fact that they aren’t part of any known terror group.

Meaning that somebody posted the original Tribune thread, not that somebody eyeballed the corpse.
