Just like with the Aurora shooting, I try to figure out what motivates people to murder others. It's a window into the insanity that might help us prevent these sorts of things.
because wouldnt shooting up a mosque make more sense (god forbid)
... wouldn't it more likely be about racism than about religion? It's possible he didn't care about the difference between Muslims and Sikhs, and only saw People Who Are Different. It wasn't necessarily about Muslims at all; there are all sorts of things people can be hateful bigots about. But everything we say at this point is conjecture either way.

It's possible, if he's a white supremacist, that he knew who they were when he attacked. *NM*
