Will your view of Islam change, or do you still hold the "just a few...no more extremists than the rest" view?

He was sick, regardless of his religion. He did not receive the treatment he needed.

You know what? Before there was any mention of the tatoo, people here were asking what if he turns out to be a muslim and how will that affect how you feel about it. All answered that it would not matter because the guy was obviously not mentally well. I think your other id is the pragmatic one and I think you need to calm down. It seems as though you dont care as much about the lives as you care about giving islam a bad name. Everyone is still speculating and there are different ideas but you are jumping at the chance to attack islam. He didn't like to talk to anyone, he was a loner, he was depressed. It is not religion that made him to that. You dont see muslims going on killing sprees everywhere. He wasn't an extremist he was mentally sick.

Background? Most converts are the most radical, plus there already are muslims in South Korea, perhaps you havn't noticed the bloodbath going on of late in Thailand, or Indonesia (where Cho recently visited three months according to one source). Plus only a muslim thinks of Jesus Christ as being associated with violence, Christ died to save lives, all lives, and end sacrifice once and for all, to answer for all sin, his counsel was in earthly things to "render unto ceaser what is ceasers" and "turn the other cheek", not kill everyone whose behaviour you disprove of or possesions you envy. But Christ was ursurped by someone with these attitudes, turned into just a minor prophet in their mental illness, someone who took his axe to the idols of others, someone who also was the inspiration of the Salt Lake City mall shooter, who, when stopped by a legally armed citizen, was returned home to Bosnia and recieved a hero's funeral (thank you USA for saving us from Serbia...). The father of the Columbine victims has been saying that testimony, affadavits, cellar videos and computer correspondence of teh Columbine shooters has likewise been kept sealed, it could be they were likewise inspired, but our government would rather keep us in the dark than cause a panic. Virginai's Tech's administration is just a microcosm of the "COG" mentality, "Continuity of government" at all cost. In this case the cost was at least 30 additional lives. It's like acid on playground slides simultanoeusly in more than one place in the country, coincidence? Right.

does no longer attempt to connect this to Islam different than to show out some thing defined in literature. Dirk, i've got confidence going alongside that line of thinking or perhaps insuating that this would have even a splash of islamic terrorism (different than for perhaps the killer himself desirous to apply a discern from that cultural historical past purely to reason human beings to bypass down that highway and probably be much extra afraid or make his deed by some skill ‘extra beneficial’ of their minds) is thoroughly off the wall. there is extremely no longer something to signify this toddler had ever even considered the interior of a mosque in his existence. in fact, I don’t think of I extremely have even heard of a Korean muslim. a super form of the Koreans around indexed here are quite conservative christians. the toddler grew up suitable there in Virginia. For all functional purposes he replaced into purely as American as the different toddler that is going to hassle-unfastened, center, and extreme college here interior the U. S..

Jihadist or not this behavior is always a possibility for any of us that live our lives according to our own design and get submerged into our own obsessions.

Our lives were meant to be meaningful beyond the pursuit of our own comfort and pleasures. We were supposed to be reconnecting back to our one source and Creator to be led into a life of purpose according to His already established design.

A life of looking out after one another; a life of caring about our home planet; a selfless life dedicated to the good of others and to the uplifting of humans like this student. As humans, we probably failed to be of benefit to him when we had a chance.

I’d like to see us allowing Christian fellowships on campus, and other groups like it, more freedom in expressing their ministry potential so that they perhaps could reach such troubled souls sooner with God’s love. This is not a call to pursuit religion but the one that was killed by it.

Lets not remain strangers.

You do realize he was most likely either Christian or Buddhist? And as a Muslim, I would still hold to the "just a few" view, because it is the truth.

it will not change my view of Islam, because in islam it doesnt say to kill people, killing innocent lives is a major sin in islam.
in islam it is described that if you kill an innocent human being, then it is like you have killed the whole mankind, and if you have saved a live then it is as if you have saved the whole mankind.
