But, he didn't say he killed in the name of religion, which wouldn't have made the killing any less tragic.
He said after 3 weeks in jail that he was pledging his allegiance to ISIS because he wanted to cleanse himself of the oath he took to protect the U.S. Constitution.
We don't know his motive for killing Van Lanken. I wonder if he knows.
I know you like debating, and having the final word.
In this case, you're trying to deflect from my statement that, at least recently (the past decade or so) the only religion that demented individuals kill IN THE NAME OF, is Islam.
In this particular case, if this guy was scaring even his Imams, he definitely killed IN THE NAME OF Islam.
