Gee, d'ya think?

".... there is a suspicion that the act was motivated by Islamism" said the German Federal prosecutors, contemplating the shooting of two US airmen in Germany.
Gee, d'ya think?
The guy was:
  • a Kosovar Muslim*
  • who had recently changed his name to a nom de guerre, Abu Reyyan**
  • who shouted "Alahu Akhbar" and
  • "Jihad, Jihad" during the attack
Gee, what could be the reason he did it??
What would it take to declare it to be a terrorist act?  Carrying an Al-Qaeda membership card?
Saying "ladies and gentlemen, this is an act of Islamic terrorism, motivated by the Koran, rather than a random act of violence"?? [even then, one wonders....]
Failure to face the facts leads to the idiocy above, where they are still wondering and scratching their heads -- "what could be the cause??" -- and more egregiously, the idiocy of the report on the Fort Hood massacre last year, which in 86 pages failed to mention Islam or Islamism even once in its "analysis" of the causes.  Which for the Fort Hood attack were as clear as for the attack in Germany, we can even rap it:
"I got Islam on ma' mind, man... 
got that bitchin' Allah on ma mind, man.... 
got ma man Mo on ma mind, man"
sung to sounds of AK47 gunfire, and the chorus: "Allahu Akbar", (alt: "jihad, jihad"....)
