i agree with you to an extent. although i think it's unlikely that this was some random mugging. the most likely motivation behind his murder (like so many before him - remember Dr. Barnett Slepian? / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_Slepian ) was christian fundamentalist opposition to abortion and some demented justification that killing a doctor wouldn't be bad whereas aborting fetuses is.

Oh, I am not saying it was random, hence the use of the word "terrorist". I think it's obvious why this Doctor was targeted, I just am not so sure of the reasoning behind the motive or the religion, if any, of the terrorist.

Don't get me wrong, I will not be surprised in the least to find out the terrorist is indeed a Christian fundie, it's just there are a number of other possibilties too. How about an angry Hindu or Atheist father of a recently aborted fetus, for example?-

a fair enough point. one thing to consider is an eerie timing coincidence. May 31st (today) is the sixth anniversary of the capture of radical Christian anti-abortion terrorist and Olympic Park Bomber Eric Rudolph. http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/05/d...

There are still folks who consider that cowardly terrorist to be a hero, no doubt some will consider today's terrorist to be a hero too. I just hope it doesn't take as long to catch the terrorist from today as it took to capture Rudolph.

Should the government waterboard the terrorist coward and see if he has any information he can give the authorities, such as the names of other people who might have the same idea in mind?
I have to agree with engineer's post below...if the killer/terrorist is a Christian Fundamentalist, isn't he just as bad as a Islamic Fundamentalist?-

one large distinction between the two terrorists, the first one wants to kill doctors who in their mind are killing babies. Note I said in their mind. The other wants to kill everyone who is a non-believer of their faith by any means, be-heading, bombing etc. I think we have to understand the fact the extreme muslim terrorists are not satisfied until everyone is dead,. The killer in this case should be tried convicted and sentenced, but remember we are not at war with radical anti abortionists.

Islamic, Judaic, or Christian Fundamentalism continues to be the source of hate speech that advocates and incites violent acts of terrorism. Christian Fundamentalists who use the first amendment to justify this conduct and to insist that it is their "right to kill" in the name of God must be addressed by law, education, and exposure.
