Sniper Trial

I remember thinking at the time of Malvo and Muhammad's arrest that there must be some kind of tie to Islam. Still, the news downplayed it, maybe rightly so, because Muhammad had tried to use the attacks to extort money. Remember? He wanted millions "put on a credit card," - possibly the stupidest method ever for the transfer of extorted money. There was also a report that he wanted to use the shootings as a cover for the planned murder of his ex-wife. But maybe all three reasons apply to this spectacular loser. From NBC4:

Malvo grew up in the Caribbean and was largely abandoned by his parents. He said a few months after meeting Muhammad, he "basically took me under his wing. He began introducing me as his son."

He said Muhammad introduced him to the Nation of Islam and said he was told that for many incidents in history, "the explanation was that the white man is the devil."

..........Earlier, Malvo testified calmly during Muhammad's second trial related to the October 2002 sniper shootings. Muhammad is on trial on murder charges for six Maryland sniper shootings.

Malvo said Muhammad devised a two-phase plan to shoot as many as six random people each day for 30 days in the Washington area and then target children and police officers with explosives. They planned to place explosives on school buses in Baltimore, kill a Baltimore police officer and then set off explosives packed with ball bearings at the officer's funeral.

Like the SUV Jihadist, Muhammad is just a sick and twisted imitation of a human being, who used Islam as a vehicle to focus his hate, and as an excuse for the killing he wanted to do. Maybe he's just another Jeffrey Dahmer.
