Do you know what critical thinking is? All you do is cherry pick info and make speculations just so your precious Islam isn't sullied.
I really don't care whether or not the news reports are accurate. They may or may not be, however, these are issues that came up. I never said I knew these things for a fact. But in light of the fact that these concerns came up, it was considered relevant to mention that he was Muslim. It wasn't like they randomly put it in there. There's the possibility that his religious vocation motivated the killing, so it was relevant. End of story. Notice I'm not saying any of this is certain, only that the information was relevant due to the circumstances.
Do you know whether he was registered Republican, Democrat, or something else? No, because it's not relevant information. If, however, all the soldiers he shot happened to be registered Republicans, and there was some information suggesting he really hated Republicans because he was an extremist Democrat, then it would be relevant to note.
Once again, I point you to the recent murder of Dr. George Tiller, a physician who was murdered because he provided abortions. If some random robber had shot him to death at night to steal his money, it probably wouldn't be noteworthy to mention that person's religious or political persuasion unless it seemed to have contributed to him being targeted. It is, however, noteworthy that the actual murderer Scott Roeder was a militant anti-abortion, anti-government activist with ties to right-wing Christian militia movements since he assassinated the doctor point blank in broad daylight in a public space.
