Is it though? She's phillipino which has a large Muslim population and has ties to working in the Middle East.
She's it's unlikely, but coincidences like this are more rare than people think. I'd say closer to 50/50 chance at this point.

I am not saying it IS true. Just throwing out a possible theory. It isn't hard t believe that Dubai hosts plenty of rich oil magnates from "moderate" countries that would donate to setting up a terrorist plot. THey all hate America equally, just some know how to play the game.
Iran has plenty of money in Dubai as well. They have long funded terrorist acts.

Yes, the Shooter's wife.
ISIS is also claiming he converted to Islam months ago.
Again, there is no evidence yet for any of this.

The US has a lot of money in Dubai, the city is more international than most all cities in the US.
It just sounds like people are wanting to make sense of why a old white dude from Texas did something like this, and the Muslim card is a popular one to throw out.

Its also possible that he did convert to Islam.
As with anything, I always let the facts come out.

So what are the other reasons then? Frankly I hope its Islamic terrorism based. I would think it would have come out already if he was mentally ill, in debt to gambling, etc. But then again if he was a member of Isis I'd think he'd have proof their too as they'd want him to.
I'm just saying, there's a reason he did it. He has small ties to Islam, but if you are going to commit terrorism you normally don't want to show your cards.

I'm talking in the suicide process itself. Generally, if they are committing suicide, it will be with a suicide vest in a crowded area where they are able to inflict maximum damage....Not a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

I have absolutely no idea what drives a person to do something like this, apart from not being right in the head.
I just do not like the fact that saying his wife works in Dubai, him having ties to a Muslim country makes sense of all this. To me, that's undermining a whole entire population of people that are completely innocent and do not want to be persecuted.

Yeah, and they wouldn't say so until they could gather more evidence anyway.
This is just conspiracy theory stuff at the moment, but it is not crazy.

It is Vegas, they have tons of those wacked out Christian folks with the big signs.

Normally those people are outside of the venue with signs, not inside the show.

Ugh, welcome to the real world where multiple coincidences are very very rare.
