This is just another sign of christianity being evil, as he killed his mother he yelled at her for not accepting jesus. This poor woman survived 9/11. She worked at the WTC marriot.
The article linked to was edited many times throughout the day as different information was made available. You'll note that the original NY Post article was first put up at 9 am, and was last edited at 6 pm. During the day it changed a lot, and that's why some of the posts here are confusing. They were responding to different edits...

Pretty clear to me. But then again, it is in English, the unofficial language of The USA.
Fail
Actually, it's starting to look like if he was a Mason, he was a member of a lodge not recognized by the Grand Lodge of New York. An officer of one of the two chartered lodges in Brooklyn said he wasn't one of theirs... So that puts him in the same category as Aleister Crowley and that doctor who killed Michael Jackson...

But the most disturbing fact of the story to me is that the guy was a Mason, was shouting Masonic stuff, his uncle admitted that he stole the sword from the lodge, and yet the story actually got changed to say Samurai sword at some point, which would indicate that some Mason somewhere has the ability through some phone calls to change written stories in the media, to prevent a "black eye".
Considering the number of Muslims and liberals in my lodge, I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that we're that close-minded...
Also, I hope the Masons who say "Dont judge us all based on the actions of one!" remember that they said that next time they judge "Arab Terrorists" or "Liberals" or whatever (as most Masons seem to be conservative and/or Republicans and seem to hold Anglo-centric attitudes).

Maybe the ceremonial sword was a Japanese style blade? Even the cheap ones are pretty damaging.
Is there any restriction on what type of blade it is?

I dont know a ton of Masons personally, but the ones I know think Palin is the height of political discourse, that the wars overseas right now are a good thing, and that George W. was a maverick president who did great things. Im just calling it like I see it, man.

So youre doing the EXACT thing you asked the masons not to do with "arab terrorist" to them?
Grouping a bunch of people together because of the "few" that you know?
A little hypocritical dont you think? Do as I say, not as i do?
