Sounds like sucking it up to me. I'm not laying the blame on anyone but him. But simply because it's his fault does not mean there aern't other factors at work and if he just gloss over those and look at his religion we are missing very large points that need to be addressed

This man clearly had mental issues but he was not part of any world wide terror organasation nor did he have any stated goals other than to kill. Those are some very important distinctions.
First of all, you took what I said out of context. Yes, I said he should have ignored them, but what I meant was let what they did get to him. If he was really harrassed, he should have reported it or spoke to the people.
Second of all, you are taking the word of a terrorist's family that a terrorist told them something. So you are taking the word of a terrorists family so you can take the word of a terrorist. I don't know about you, but I am more inclined to believe the words of the soldiers (some of whom risked their lives to save others) over that of a terrorist's family and a terrorist. Right now he may or may not have been harrassed as they say, but until more information about this comes out, I don't think it is fair to just assume that he really was harrassed.
Third of all, it does not matter if he was not part of an international organization, he believed in an international ideology and religion of violence. The same one that motivated the 911 hijackers: radical islam. That says, he did seem to have at least some contact with mainstream radicals, so he was connected to terror organisations.
