Was the guy a one-off nutter who hijacked not just people but peaceful Islamic/Muslim beliefs? That seems to be the line being pushed, with the media parading good people who happen to be non-radicalised Muslims as evidence the fanatic nutjob was simply one of those lone-wolf, mentally disturbed psychos that are found in many walks of life and have often hijacked a religion to justify their insane actions.
We are lead, therefore, by the media to believe Islam is a religion of peace, justice and all those other ideals we project we hold dear. That the overwhelming majority of Islamic followers value at least as highly as we do, the same things as the majority of us. We are lead, therefore to believe this guy is wrong. Is he?
