I offends me, mj, because your statements today are after the fact. The questions you raise have been raised and investigated and answered thus far by the press. So why speculate and twist the facts?

When the story broke and identified him as a Bosnian immigrant, my first thought as I was reading was.....Is he a Muslim? After that was answered by the article, my next thought was....Is this a political act of terrorism?

Thus far there is no EVIDENCE to support this. Those are the logical questions, at least to me, and they have been answered. The remaining question is how he got his weapons.

Terrorist actions by radicals will continue erupting around the world. It will be an ongoing struggle to protect civilians for us and every other country. Everybody knows that and most are vigilant.

I just think you are looking/hoping for acts of Muslim terrorism in this country to justify your support of the war.

I laid out a logical reason to question the unique aspects of this mass murder.

In your dreams.

Re: This PC nonsense that we can't even question things like this has to stop.

Amen to that!

Just raise a simple question and you are called a bigot.

"This PC nonsense that we can't even question things like this has to stop."

Agreed, and as I have stated a couple of times now, the underlying influences should be looked into. This was a heinous and cold blooded act, that should not be readily dismissed without a serious inquiry into what may have been causal. If there was some organized support for this kid then I say lets find out who is responsible and take some effective action.

The railing about "the religion of peace..." is an inflamatory distraction and a hindrance to dealing with the facts of this event and it's that is likely to incite problems of the very nature you condemn. Religions don't kill people, people kill people over religions.
