The shooter was in the Army 1992-98, had a less than honorable discharge, and was thought to be a white supremacist.

It's still possible he may have confused them for Muslims, but being a white supremacist he may have just chosen to attack the Sikh temple just because they were different and they were located close to him.

Pat Robertson, in his usual classy fashion, has concluded that this attack happened because atheists hate God.

Of course never mind the fact that there has been absolutely no mention of what the shooter's religion is, and if you were to care to guess that since he's an American white supremacist he's statistically more likely to be a theist of the Christian persuasion. (Note - this isn't a knock against Christians in general, just pointing out Pat's usual disregard for facts)

Stay classy, Pat. Stay classy.
