Recently, Farook had worshipped at a San Bernardino mosque, Dar-Al-Uloom Al-Islamiyah of America. Farook was “a very nice person, very soft,” said Ali, a mosque regular. He said Farook had memorized the Koran, a rare accomplishment for even devout Muslims.
According to law enforcement, Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2013 during the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims who are able should perform at least once in their lives.
Another congregant saw Farook at the mosque a few weeks ago. Gasser Shehata said Farook had hurt not just his victims, but his own child.
“She will grow up knowing what her parents did,” Shehata said.
Farook was born in Chicago, the son of Pakistani immigrants. The family subsequently moved to Riverside, where his father worked as a truck driver and his mother as a clerk at Kaiser Permanente.
He and his siblings attended public schools. Yearbooks from La Sierra High School in Riverside show a smiling Farook during his sophomore and junior years. He was a member of the school’s Muslim club.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's written answers point to radical Islam as bombing motive
Barack Obama, liberals and the mainstream media are shocked. The rest of America merely acknowledges the obvious...
BOSTON (AP) -- The 19-year-old charged with the Boston Marathon bombing, his throat injured by a gunshot wound, wrote down answers to the questions of investigators about his motives and connections to any terror networks.Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's answers led them to believe he and his brother were motivated by a radical brand of Islam without major terror connections, said U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.But the written communication precluded back-and-forth exchanges often crucial to establishing key facts and meaning, said officials who cautioned they were still trying to verify what Tsarnaev told them and were poring over his telephone and online communications.

CBS News Can Not Figure Out Times Square Terrorist Motive
Here is a headline from CBS News today.

CBS News is having a hard time figuring out the motive of ex-Pakastani Faisal Shahzad, who spent time in a Taliban terrorist training camp. Hmm... He hates America and want to kill us for the glory of Islam? Oh, he also had 'Bush Derangement Syndrome' and was angry at drone attacks against the Taliban leadership. I hope this helps clear up CBS News' confusion.
