Real Muslim?
Reader comment on item: The Beltway Snipers' Motives
Submitted by Peter Herz (United States), Nov 22, 2009 at 09:22
It seems that John Muhammad got his introduction to Islam via the Nation of Islam, the late Elijah Muhammad's rather idiosyncratic cult. While it is possible he shot people out of sympathy with the 9/11 hijackers, (indeed, likely given his sketches and journal), I doubt that he was truly connected with them.
