Christopher Harper Mercer's Social Media Page Shows Some Links With 'Terrorists'

Christopher Harper Mercer is dreaded today as the shooter at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

Yet there is more to come. He has some information on his social media page that indicates some links with Middle East terrorists.

His MySpace page , shows him to be an Irish Republican Army (IRA) sympathiser. As the IRA is largely a Catholic paramilitary group that warred for 30 years in order to free Northern Ireland from Great Britain, according to NBC.

The IRA initiated a number of terrorist attacks throughout Ireland and Great Britain, and also tried to assassinate the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984, with over 3,600 dying.

It is more interesting that Mercer has a couple of friends on his site. One of them is a woman, while the other is a man called Mahmoud Ali Ehsani.

Ehsani's page also shows him to be a terror sympathizer, if his page is to be given credence.

Here are a few of his quotes:

"The brave Mujahideen heroes"

"The Mujahideen freedom fighters of Palestine. My brothers and sisters keep on doing your thing. Allahu Akbar."

"My brave soldiers keep on fighting for the liberation of Palestine against Israel. f--- Israel. Kill the Jews. jews are the only infidels."

What do these quotes indicate? Not that Mercer himself was a terrorist, but that he had some links with a few other sympathisers of terrorism.

Mercer did seem to dislike Christianity, and came over-prepared to kill nine students---or more!
