Of course he was.

He doesn't know ANYTHING about Islam, all his hate is based on what he sees on TV.

Just because the media tells us that so and so is a Muslim, doesn't actually make it so.

One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make is let the mass media decide if someone is a Muslim or not.

It's not like he knows any Muslims on a personal level where he can confer with them about Islam. It's not even like he actually tried to read the Quran. 

I'd even bet that he's linguistically challanged.
