If we want to understand the shooting, that is just as relevant as any psychological disorders he may or may not have had.
Agreed. If the guy goes around shooting people while screaming a religious prayer, then religion obviously had a role into this.

It also seems quite likely that everything is tied to his religion. The guy apparently feared to fight fellow muslims, and was bullied because of his religion. In these conditions, it's quite likely that he went crazy because of all this. Which obviously doesn't mean "ZOMG MUSLIMS ARE EVIL".

It's indeed a case of some guy going nut, but it seems to me that he went nut for religious reasons.
