The shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was a heinous crime that deserves to be looked at in depth and at length. And, to a certain extent, it is — but not the way the tragedy pleads to be looked at.
The New York Times’ headline on its deep-dive on the root causes that drove two young men to kill three people outside the house of worship pretty much said it all: “San Diego Killings Follow Rising Anti-Muslim Rhetoric.”
This was all, every bit of it, attributable to anti-Muslim sentiment. This was what drove two men to attempt a mass shooting which was repelled by a security guard at the mosque, but not before the guard was fatally wounded, along with two other community members.
The problems with this narrative are manifold. Yes, the alleged killers hated Muslims. If one is to believe their manifesto, it’s also clear that they hated virtually everyone, and from a mix-and-match list of targets that doesn’t fall neatly anywhere on the political spectrum.
