[quote=Anonymous][quote]From information I've gleaned from TV and credible 'net sources, I'm going with mental illness. Apparently, he was bipolar. He was [b]probably also suffering from schizophrenia. [/b]

Here is a fact: when people decide that they're going to kill, it's darn near impossible to stop them. If by some mystical power every single gun were taken from every single law abiding American, criminals will retain theirs or gain access to them. That's what criminals do. They commit crimes. If they need a gun to commit crimes, they'll get them. And all the gun control in the world will not stop them. To think otherwise is naive at best and probably delusional.

[b]Is there paperwork on that, re: bipolar?[/b][/quote]

This is very interesting.  What is the view of Muslims toward mental illness?  Is it seen as a "weakness" and not treated?  This used to be the case many years ago in the US.  It was not even viewed as an illness and was considered shameful to expose.  It may not even have anything to do with Islam . . . it could be more cultural than religious.

I also wonder if his parents were related to each other.  There are many cousin marriages in that part of the world (arranged).  These lead to a greater chance of genetic conditions like schizophrenia.
