[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before anyone complains that Muslim leaders never condemn acts like this, I am currently listening to Bassam Issa of the Islamic Society for Greater Chattanooga say thusly:

"We as Americans, as Tennesseans, as Chattanoogans, as Muslims of Chattanooga, we are totally shocked and in total disbelief. We strongly condemn this heinous act and we reach out to the families of our beloved Marines. They are our sons too and we see them in the streets all the time. And we do feel that this is our own loss and we are very very furious for what happened."[/quote]

Why are Muslim leaders speaking out? According to Jeff, we don't even know if he's Muslim. We are all "jumping to conclusions"[/quote]

I think we can safely assume that he was Muslim. The question is how serious of a Muslim and whether or not Islam played a role in the attack.

I lived in Kuwait for a year. That was a long time ago and I certainly didn't become an expert on Kuwait at the time. But, his name strikes me as strange for a Kuwaiti. There are also questions about his citizenship with the suggestion that he might not be a Kuwait citizen. It probably won't end up being important, but I suspect we will find out that his background is fairly complex.

+1. I think I heard or read he might actually be a Jordianian citizen. This was the first thing that came to mind: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_expulsion_from_Kuwait[/quote]
