I disagree.

If he did it out of ideology, then he did such an ineffective job that
one would still question his sanity.

This was a major in the US Army. He wasn't some impoverished bedouin
sneaking past an Israeli checkpoint.

Screw the rank. Look at his personal life, he was lonely, had few or
no friends, and seemed frustrated and depress. I think the planning
was to either kill himself alone in his apartment, or go out in glory,
and take some people with him.

He planned this well enough that he knew he could kill numerous people
in a confine area.

Using an explanation like Islam is to cover his failures. He could
also an explanation like Arab nationalism as well.

Even these explanations are pathetic. He is a medical doctor. Where
ever he was deployed, he treats all.

He wasn't psychotic, he made a cognitive choice. The problem for him
was that he was captured alive. He was planning to use his last bullet
on himself.

I think he was hoping someone else would kill him.

Some excellent comments by his fellow mosque-goers here:

“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call
that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former
member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it,
they call it jihad.
