Why No Mention That Salt Lake Shooter Was Muslim?

Talovic was from Bosnia. He was a Muslim. He attended a mosque in Salt Lake and he was reported to have been shouting "Allah Akbar" at the end of the shootout when he was cornered, at least according to some witnesses.

So why do we get all prissy about the fact that he was a Muslim? Do we think that European Muslims don't do terrorism? That his Muslim religion was just another fact in all the other facts about him?

We probably certainly wish that were true, but we don't know because nobody looks into it much. Sure, maybe some of the reason is Anna Nicole, but I sense a chill in the air coming from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and others who think it would be racist and bigoted of us to notice he was a Muslim and wonder if maybe his religion was a motivating factor in his act of terror.

The New York Times dropped a hint when it mentioned Islamic burial rites. Hmmm, the savvy reader might have said to him or herself, I just wonder what the mosque had to do with this deadly outburst?

1. I saw it in the story I read. Didn't ID him as Muslim, but said he was present at a

slaughter of them in Bosnia. I then drew my own conclusions he was probably Muslim and suffering from PTSD. I also wonder if he didn't feel much love for Muslims here too. I don't recall where I saw the story unfortunately. Here is CNN story. Doesn't say he was present at the actual massacre http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/14/salt.lake.shooting.ap/index.html

2. Because non-Muslims also go on shooting sprees?

3. DU's Sal316: "Why is Gibson such a tool?"

4. So is Gibson saying we HAVE had Muslim terrorism on our shore since 9/11??

Hmm?

5. I learned it FROM THE FUCKING MEDIA, the day of the shootings.

This is the RW noise machine up to its predictable tricks. "Damn that liberal media for not reporting stuff that they actually did report."

6. CNN Teen sport killings of the homeless on the rise. I wonder what religion they are?

7. Fox Noise just CAN'T have people thinking that the Muslim terrorists

"followed us back over here!" And the troops haven't even come home yet.

:puke:

8. And if he was Catholic, his point would be...

What's wrong with the shoother just being f*cked up in the head? Why does this Faux person feel the need to connect a crazy man to an entire religion? If he screamed, "God help me!" or "Go to hell!" before he died would that have made it any different? Which church would he be wanting to burn down then?

Our world is so f*cked up, we have people like the mall shooter AND Faux news people in it.

9. Gibson should step out from under his sun blocking asbestos shield and actually

read some newspapers, i read about the shooter in my local paper and they had specifics.
