The article I read said the family has refused to speak to the press.
I could be wrong, but it sounds like this was one seriously fucked up individual and it had nothing to do with religion.
There has been interviews with people he worked with. He made many troubling statements indicating that he had a BIG problem with going to Iraq. He managed to not get deployed there since 2003. His religious beliefs had everything to do with his objections, and his actions. We all know it, but if you want to continue to lie to yourself about it then go ahead and stick your head back in the sand.
Exhibit 1: He was a Muslim
Exhibit 2: He wanted out of the military after 9/11! I think most of us remember the surge in recruitment back then.
Exhibit 3: He attacked US soldiers
Exhibit 4: He was extremely upset with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Exhibit 5: He expressed views that America was the aggressor
Exhibit 6: He wrote blogs praising suicide bombers as true soldiers
Exhibit 7: It was confirmed that as he was shooting American soldiers he yelled "Allah Akbar!"
I think the burden of proof as shifted to the appeasers here!
I think it is way too early to be taking things said by acquaintances to be the gospel truth here. Too much gets speculated upon. Just like the early reports that he was dead.
Although, I suspect it will come out that much of this is true, it is just a little early too be gobbling it all up as proof of who he was.
One thing is for sure... he is a dead man. Dead man walking.
