Philadelphia shooter ‘does not appear’ to be observant Muslim: CAIR

Hours later same source (Reuters/Yahoo) changes tune.

From http://news.yahoo.com/shooter-philadelphia-policeman-described-quiet-devout-muslim-044834349.html

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – The gunman who claimed allegiance to Islamic State after shooting a Philadelphia police officer was described by people who knew him as a devout, quiet Muslim who became more “combative” after trips to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

It wouldn’t be a stretch then to conclude, based on that line, that CAIR really doesn’t have a connection to the everyday Muslim, would it? Then why do they have so much political pull?

And let me add my voice to those who question why the charges against the shooter, attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault of a law enforcement officer, do not include terrorist related Homeland Security based crimes. Couldn’t possibly be because of Muslims at the top, could it?
