I can't speak for this guy's motivation.

However, my view is that the US is demonstrating a worrying trend that is worth keeping in perspective. For example, in February alone:

1) A state legislator has asked muslim Americans to pledge allegiance to the flag

2) A mosque was burned, likely arson

3) Muslim Americans were killed in cold blood, ostensibly over a parking lot dispute


I don't think it's too much to consider that if the coincidental targets of these acts were gay men and women, or people of the Jewish faith, or Buddhists or <insert minority here>, we'd be mindful of the trend.
