They are speculating he meant to attack Muslims. The FBI is warning we probably won't ever find a *clear* motive, but I think being a Neo-Nazi is pretty much the entire motive. I know a lot of reports are like "well Hitler didn't mind Indians", but the thing is is that Neo-Nazism is very very xenophobic as it is racist. I don't think it would matter much to him if they were Muslim or Sikh, I'm hearing he specifically targeted those with turbans and beards and not those who were shaved. If that was the case, he was going after the ones who looked the most foreign. Three of those killed were also priests and I wonder if that was intentional, and how he would know if he was super ignorant about Sikhism.

Hmm well the fact that three of them were priests could be simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time of course. But you could very well be right, we'll just have to wait and see.

The thing that I heard about only through local coverage, that I doubt the national or international media will cover, is the fact that the ones who first alerted the congregation to what was going on, were children, celebrating the youngest of the two's birthday.

What a way to ruin a birthday

An extra note, that I think hasn't been covered much and should be emphasized. The shooter was from Colorado. The Aurora shootings could be in some way be the reason why he did this. Perhaps by enraging him, or inspiring him.

First I even heard of this was this article.
