GERMAN NEWS: Co-Pilot of Germanwings Airbus Was MUSLIM CONVERT’Hero of Islamic State?

The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 that crashed into the French Alps last week had received treatment for suicidal tendencies several years ago, prosecutors said Monday.

Duesseldorf prosecutors say co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 27, had received psychotherapy "with a note about suicidal tendencies" for several years before becoming a pilot.

The crash has prompted wide-ranging questions about Lubitz's motivation, his mindset, aviation industry regulations — and in the minds of the flying public, concerns about air travel safety.

Lufthansa, asked whether the airline had been aware of Lubitz's previous psychotherapy treatment, said only that all medical information is subject to medical confidentiality rules.

German aviation officials say Lubitz's file at the country's Federal Aviation Office contained a notation that meant he needed "specific regular medical examination," but it did not specify whether it was for a physical or mental condition.

Suicide by plane....

As terribly disgusting and tragic as the news is, this is appearing to be simply what it is--suicide by plane and at the lives of 154 other people.
 
It's already been made apparent that this is probably the result of something other than his religion. Quite obviously, what they've found has not anything to do with who he worships or what he believes in. And yet it's still very difficult for some people to understand that not everyone does things out of religious motivations.

Then release his background about his religion and where he went to worship. Because for many it is looking like a coverup when they are not releasing all the info on this guy.

Why is it a coverup? Since when did releasing irrelevant information about a situation provide any benefit? The more they uncover, the more it's looking like suicide by plane, especially with the recent discovery that his flight school was made aware of a depressive episode.

Dee's right, Liberty...in this day & age, if there'd been any evidence the co-pilot was secretly a Muslim or something along those lines, it would've gotten out by now. Odds are, once everything else has been eliminated, this is gonna' turn out to be a horrific mass murder committed by a very mentally sick individual, not an act of terrorism.

Webster's making a really good point. If you think the people investigating this man's private life are THAT good at covering up information, you're a very ignorant person and you don't know how the world works. If at any point they suspected him of being a radical muslim convert, it would have gotten out by now, and it wouldn't become this grand scheme to cover up his religion. They are uncovering and releasing information about what it is--a pilot who suffered from depression and other medical issues.

If Lufthansa knew that they had a suicidal pilot on their hands and they still let him fly...isn't that considered rank negligence?

Then release all his info instead of hiding it and ignoring requests for the info. Since when! LOL! Since Europe became scared of offending the Muslim population thats when. Any reason to "offend" them and it seems depression is the perfect patsy.

You mean how it never really gets out that all the high profile shootings in America in the last two years were ALL done by left wing lunatics. It is much easier to just follow the narrative that was simply a crazy guy with no political influences.

I'm afraid then you're not going to get the answer you're looking for. It seems like you won't be satisfied until you hear he had converted, it seems.
 
Not necessarily. I just want all the facts they are hiding.

Yes necessarily. You are so sure they're hiding specific facts about his religion. How exactly are you sure of that? Are you there? Have you spoken to the investigators? Do you know this man personally and suspect they're truly leaving out something based on more evidence than a hunch about a guy you've never met? Come on, TL, get off your high horse for once.

Government officials won't discuss his religion. I am sure that has nothing to do with anything relevant as to why he crashed his plane. Move along! Move along! Nothing to see here!
Liberty.....

Im sure because they have openly said they would not release it. If there is nothing to it let all the facts out and see where it takes us.

Releasing information of no importance to the situation isn't going to benefit anyone or anything, especially the paranoid conspiracy crackpot theorists who are adamant this man flew a plane into the side of a mountain in the name of his religion. Are you sure you aren't a hardcore Fox news viewer?

Says you it is of no importance but the history of using planes as a weapon and means of terrorism say otherwise. And most recently the last two planes that have been crashed on purpose for religious reasons. So release the information if there is nothing to it.

You are essentially saying there is no other logical explanation as to why this man did what he did unless it has to do with his religion, or rather "release important information about him so that I can be proven right" and continue viewing the world in a very black and white, stereotypical manner in which humanity has lead me to believe is the only way of living life on this planet.

There's only one problem there: if this was a terrorist incident involving radical Islamists, why haven't any of the known players (al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc.) taken responsibility for it? Or, could it be there's actually no evidence of terror here and thus, the German authorities see no need to investigate that route because there's nothing there.

Or would you rather the cops waste time & resources chasing shadows, Liberty?

None of the known players have taken responsibility for the other planes gone down. If the cops know already then it is no big deal to release all the info about his past.

No I am saying release his past if there is nothing to hide.
