It is a tragic event made more tragic by the fact that apparently he was bi-sexual. I guess his islamic fundamentalist side couldn't cope with that side of him that he felt was an abomination. 🙁

Yes I have been listening to new revelations about his life (on the radio). Apparently he frequented that gay nightclub a number of times and was either very quiet, drinking in a corner, or shouting out angrily. He also had gay dating apps. I am wondering whether he became a fundamentalist to justify his homophobia. He also recently pledged allegiance to hezbollah! Given that they are not in harmony with Islamic fundamentalism, it gives an indication into how mixed up his mind was. Indeed he had bipolar depression. It could well be a possibility that he stopped taking his medication. What is clear that he was deranged - no sane person, bisexual or not, would do what he did.
