June 14, 201610 yr It could be. However, we simply can't live in fear of being out in public. Terrible way to live IMO. Unfortunately , we've made our bed and now we are laying in it. In a select group of 18 to 40 year old Muslim men(and a few women) you have individuals that can become radicalized in a very short time. Once radicalized, this group becomes obsessed with killing anyone or anything in front of them. You can hide, you can take away our guns, you can join their side if you like but our way of life is no longer going to be the same. Edited June 14, 201610 yr by TexasRanger Add text

June 14, 201610 yr Isis is the name of a goddess and he doesn't want to unnecessarily offend an ancient Egyptian.

June 14, 201610 yr Obama goes on tirade against Donald Trump over 'dangerous' Muslim ban, 'radical Islam' - CNNPolitics.com Why does Obama insist on saying ISIL instead of ISIS? Just curious The reason the Obama administration, and some others, have opted to call the group “ISIL” is partly geographical, partly grammatical. Whereas ISIS stands for “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,” ISIL stands for “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” meaning the whole eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It includes Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel and Jordan, and so is thought to more accurately describe the large region threatened by the group’s activities. Others do call them ISIL as well, it does make sense. But those in that area and from that area prefer to call them daesh, that name is considered an insult to them.

June 14, 201610 yr No clear picture on this guy. Lots of different directions this can go. It's very murky on this guy, so we now find out that not only did he have many gay friends but his ex wife and friends say that he was gay. It seems that his father was anti gay, that could have added to him having trouble accepting his sexuality. Being inspired by a terror group is not being ruled out, but now with this new information they have to look at why he mentions ISIS? Was it a convenience? To get to people? An attempt to hide his sexuality after the killed spree? This is a difficult case for them to figure out. Any event like this, even all school shootings, are terror attacks, their doesn't need to be a group behind horrific events such as these or even inspired by anyone. This is yet another example that no matter where you go, when you go into a new place ALWAYS look at where all the exits are, even where you may have to throw something (or yourself) through a window to get out.

All good points. Does IS take credit for an attack that was committed by an "infidel"?
June 14, 201610 yr All good points. Does IS take credit for an attack that was committed by an "infidel"? Good question, do they want to be associated with a gay person even if they committed a terrorist act? The comments of the father of this guy sheds some light on the issue, which adds to the murkiness. The father is now in denial that his son was gay, "if he was gay, why would he do something like this?" The father seems more interested in clearing his sons name from being gay more than his so-called apology.
June 15, 201610 yr Point is we do not treat mentally ill people in this country with enough seriousness. Systems are broken and not enough resources. We should have them get help, much like we should do with rapists, drunk drivers etc. Many times the jail systems won't even keep the mentally ill. Should they? That's probably a whole 'nuther argument for a different thread. The jails aren't equipped to deal with those with mental illnesses, and most of those with mental illnesses shouldn't be anywhere near a jail.

Especially in the Islamic culture, which is even more hardcore anti-gay than than the Evangelical Christian culture.

But if this guy would have lived, where does he go? Mental hospital or prison? My vote would be death row.
