i don't think this has anything to do with religion.
the act is purely non religious and definitively maniacal
US should re establish and reform it's gun policy.
one after another incidents like these all leads to the prime cause of the abuse of the use of weapon policy in the US.

California has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US

CNN reports that Farook had been radicalized and had been in touch with more than one international terrorism suspects by phone and social media.

This is just bad.

Farook was essentially American. He was born here, grew up here, came from a religious family, he sounds like he was well off relatively, and he had just started a family of his own.

Its troubling that he would throw away a bright future for this, even if his wife was urging him too (fucking inconceivable after she had birthed her own child).



His family, or at least those taking care of the child should move, that baby will face nothing but hardship in school if they stay in that area

A religious nut with a wife to go (someone needs to look into her, no more online dating),
a grudge against his co-workers,
access to guns,
deadly cocktail.

People will see a woman wearing a saree in that picture and then Indians will be persecuted.

Agreed .....but isnt burqa their cultural dress . already beards are associated with sikhs too and they end up becoming targets for revenge attacks.

Thing is they dont look very radical in that pic...
Saree... half sleeves... no head scarf...
Farook seems very happy and confortable with his wife's dress...

What changed in last w years??

yes. Beards and turbans were targetted. The attacker in those cases had at least realized that he made a mistake in choosing his intended target.
In this case the lady is wearing a saree!! Damn. Now half of them will directly start relating it with India. Perception matters.

After the Boston marathon bombings many on social media were connecting entirely unrelated affairs and pointing fingers at a missing Indian-American student named Sunil. Americans, like most, are entirely ignorant and generalise more often than not.

@Topic a truly crazy and mind-boggling attack based on the terrorists. I mean it is one thing to find a like minded induvidual online but for that person to be YOUR WIFE? I just can't understand this level of crazy whilst acting so normal. There must be a hell of a lot of sick people out there.

Bloody scum who have left their young child an orphan to grow up with everyone knowing the actions of her parents- she is unlikely to have a happy life. This is yet another level of evel on top of it all.

A friend says a man who was killed in the rampage at a Southern California social service center worked with one of the shooters and they had a heated conversation about Islam two weeks before the attack.

It's not clear if the discussion was a factor in the attack.

Kuuleme Stephens says she happened to call 52-year-old Nicholas Thalasinos while he was at work and having a discussion with Syed Farook.

Thalasinos identified Farook by name and told her Farook believed Islam was a peaceful religion.

She added that Farook said Americans don't understand Islam.

Stephens says both men worked as county restaurant inspectors and regularly discussed politics and religion. Thalasinos identified as a Messianic Jew [Solomon2 note: "Messianic Jew" = Jews for Jesus/Jehova's Witness = Christian] and was passionate about pro-Israel causes.

Thalasinos' wife, Jennifer Thalasinos, told The New York Times that her husband had talked about Farook but never said anything negative.

I mean it is one thing to find a like minded induvidual online but for that person to be YOUR WIFE and then to recruit a THIRD person and go and commit such an act WITH THEM? I just can't understand this level of crazy whilst acting so normal. There must be a hell of a lot of sick people out there.

Bloody scum who have left their young child an orphan to grow up with everyone knowing the actions of her parents- she is unlikely to have a happy life. This is yet another level of evel on top of it all.

There was no third person involved. The person initially implicated has been cleared.

Putting the names here isn't probably the right thing to do. Those who need to know the names specifically, they know it already. Lot of demented people here. You put the names here and they will start searching for them on social media.

You convinced me. Now you have to edit your post.

My apolgies, I haven't been following this incident as closely as I should and it seems my information was woefully outdated.

Done.

Yeah right. Now people will believe him? It is what he did that will speak more loudly than what he said. Islam is only what its followers do, obviously, not what they claim.
