Armenian surname————maybe a Christian-——who knows?

If he was a Christian that would have been the first thing reported.

Some are claiming that the "followers" of Elliot Rodger frequent a few obscure websites in which "involuntarily celibate" men complain about their failure to attract women, blaming it on the rise of feminism and other liberal social trends. These people are therefore dubbed "conservatives."

But it's hard for me to see how sexual libertinism would make it MORE difficult for men to find sex partners, and it is hardly "conservative" to rent a van and mow down dozens of people.

[Steve_Seattle]

" . . . a controversial celibacy movement."

It's hardly a "celibacy movement." "Incel" is short for "involuntarily celibate." As I understand it, it's a group of men who gripe that they can't find female sex partners. Paradoxically, they blame women's liberation, which - if anything - made women more sexually available than they were in the days of "patriarchy."

Just another nut waiting out there for whatever reason to kill people....Reddit kicked these creeps off their site i read....

[reg45]

Did the van have an automatic transmission?

[Steve_Seattle]

Probably fewer than 2% of Armenians are Muslim.

[caww]

Interesting he references 4channel.....where all the creeps hang out!

[donna]

He killed 14 women at the school. I had forgotten all about it.

"Probably fewer than 2% of Armenians are Muslim."

Not sure what that means. A lot less Armenians than that murder people with a van, but here we are. Engaging in terrorist acts makes it a lot more likely he's part of that 2%. Not for certain, but certainly more likely.

Turkish surname. Turkish Muslim.NO further motive needed.

Armenian surname. 99.999% chance he's not a Muslim.

Try again.

Yeah, but they're responsible for the Kardashians and Cher.

[Drew68]

If he is a Christian the media and the Canadian government would be celebrating that fact. They aren't and that suggests a Muslim.

Just because someone isn't a Muslim doesn't mean that they are a Christian.

[HighSierra5]

His name sounds like he is of Iranian descent. Only time will tell.

[Mears]

See my Post # 12-——and yet some responded by still insisting he is probably a Muslim.

[Drew68]

I was skimming articles on this guy and each one studiously avoids the question of whether he was a muslim.

Same for all the articles on Travis Reinking.

It's a conspiracy!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Seriously. If you can’t get laid in a Liberal city of 3 million you aren’t really trying.

[Mrs. Don-o]

We don’t know. From the last name, could be (non-Muslim) Armenian.

[MoraBlack]

Armenian surname, so most likely Christian.

[allendale]

Funny. The only thing most people want to know is if this guy is a Muslim. Alas.... the crack media is simply unwilling to provide the information. Who says Soviet journalism has died. Pravda lives!

[donna]

It is similar to the problem Islam has - successful men get all the women leaving the rest of the men celibate, not by choice.
