[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]
Eugene: When the shooter in question was attempting contact with al-Qaeda, had advocated and agitated for Muslims the world over to fight the “aggressors” (read Americans) and is screaming “Allahu Akbar” as he shoots defenseless US soldiers; yeah, I’m going to go with him being a terrorist.

What does it mean, “was attempting contact with al-Qaeda”? If I were an al-Qaeda sleeper agent, technically, you’d be attempting contact with al-Qaeda right now. As far as we know, he was not actually IN contact with any real terrorists, he was not operating as part of a terror cell.
Attacker’s religion aside, this incident has as many similarities to Virginia Tech or Columbine as to Oklahoma City. Whether he was really a terrorist or a nut case, that’s for psychiatrists to decide.
