Many of the 9/11 "muscle" hijackers weren't physically imposing but they had the element of surprise, determination, and training to be deadly.
Given this guy's country of origin and cultural/religious background, I am more inclined to think his actions were a result of that background, than someone butthurt over rejection and pushed to insanity.

Trained terrorist slit girl throat because of rejection. Get arrested, ruined years of trainning. Makes total sense. Enough crazy around here.

I merely brought up the 9/11 hijackers to point out that a lack of size can be made up for in motivation and an element of surprise on an unsuspecting person. If you had read the previous posts to mine, you would have seen that his lack of size was being discussed.
This guy comes from a country/culture/religion which does not see women as equals. A religious text which tells followers to enslave/kill infidels. When coming from that background, I can understand why he might see his actions as acceptable, because they might just be seen as such back home.

To my knowledge, there is no evidence of him holding opinions which go against the norms of his home country and culture. To my knowledge, he is not an apostate of the prevalent religion of his home country. Therefore, without any other evidence to suggest otherwise, I would say he is likely a product of the environment he grew up in and acted accordingly. He may have temporarily forgotten or was possibly unaware that women, especially infidels, are not viewed the same here as in his home country. He cut a girl's throat after being rejected, how used to that behaviour does he have to be before you are willing to draw conclusions? Or are we so adamant about being Politically Correct that we must ignore facts and defend Islam and Saudi Arabia's treatment of women?
Strictly speaking to make a point from your examples: Are you a Chinese national, here temporarily as a student or on business, not having had much time to grow accustom to Canadian life? If not, then it is a little difficult to make the comparison. If you are, is Kung Fu embedded heavily into Chinese culture? Is it mandatory to know Kung Fu in China? Have you then demonstrated the abilities of a Kung Fu master? Say you came to Canada and demonstrated mastered Kung Fu, and I had no other evidence to suggest how you became a master of Kung Fu. Would it not be possible for me to draw conclusions that you are a Kung Fu master and that you likely learned these skills because you grew up in a culture where Kung Fu is part of many aspects of the way of life of China?

Criticizing one side of an argument does not mean I endorse the other. Much like this Trump vs Hillary crap. People who criticize Hillary do not necessarily support Trump. There are many people who dislike both candidates. Rejecting one candidate does not mean one should just blindly support the opposing candidate. That is idiotic. Quote:

You have no idea what you're talking about and what's even more bizarre to me is how you brought up the 9/11 hijackers and tied into an isolated domestic incident. Give your head a shake bud.

I admit the 9/11 example was not the best choice. It was the first one that came to mind which I thought demonstrated that a small unimposing figure can still be a physical threat under the right circumstances. I was not trying to imply he is a terrorist.

It's funny that if a person of color does something it's cultural but if a white person does the same thing it's not cultural.

The evidence of inequality in Saudi Arabia is well documented by international organizations. The evidence of people being a product of their environment/upbringing is well researched and supported in the scientific community. Making a connection between these two, when no other evidence to suggest otherwise has been presented, is possible.
Is the inequality of women a part of Canadian culture or law? Skin colour has nothing to do with it. Islam is not a race.

I can see Bouncing Bettys point, about how people raised in an islamic culture might be unequal to women. Although, most of the people that I've met that come to Canada are pretty nice to their female counter parts. That could be that they were smart and reasonable enough to pass immigration screenings. Anyone who's been in a mosque will know that Islam is inherently sexist. At one point, Christianity was like that too, well the super old kind. [sarcasm]Back when the days women belonged in the kitchen. lol [/sarcasm]
Anyone remember that Egyptian video of those boys commenting on how they are raised to treat women?
lol, but his terrorist analogy was pretty off point.

Typical masquerade racist banter. I get to judge you based on your background. Ignoring all your accomplishedments. But don't you dare whisper a fault of mine (background) it was a long time ago and we went to the moon. Every country every race ever religion have heir faults. If you choose to judge and label people through such a dismissive lens, that's how Trump happens

| Ontario nurse charged with eight murders - NEWS 1130
This woman was raised in culture that does not respect the elderly. It's well documented in many medical journals that in this culture, elderly people are being forgotten in rest homes, abused by their children, scammed by people over the phone, etc. It's clear this woman's actions are the result of her sick culture and their disrespect for senior citizens. It can't be that she's nuts or anything.
