He may indeed be crazy, but based on the limited information available about Wael Wajih Kalash, it appears he was motivated/instigated by Jihadist ideology. Of course, the fact he sought refuge in a mosque could be happenstance. I doubt it.

He was?
- Court records showed that police arrested Kalash in 2002 for assault on a police officer. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and received treatment at the Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare facility.
- In 2007, doctors told the courts that Kalash no longer required treatment and was released.
- "All he wanted to talk about (was) how the U.S. government is poisoning him since his arrival here in the United States in the mid-1990s."
- In late 2006, doctors told the courts that Kalash was taking his medication and posed no behavior problems.
And if his prior behavior was of such concern to the students, why doesn't it look as if they never seemed to be concerned enough to report it?
Since his release, he has stayed out of trouble with the law.
And the fact that his fleeing to a mosque assuredly makes him a
jihadii - well, because we all know that crazies/criminals/etc - of whatever belief - just don't ever seek refuge in places such as churches/temples/mosques/etc when being pursued after having committed a crime - unless they're a
jihadi, of course.
The '
dots' of information we've been given on this thing don't connect in a way that allows me to create the same connect-the-dot picture you seem so adamant in painting here. Why?
