Brazilian Killer - Muslim? - Save the Sincretism!

Today, Brazil reached at news all over the world...unfortunatly, not about any soccer play.
A young male, named Wellington, 24 years old had killed 10 girls and 01 boy in Rio inside a school class. He had written a letter that just parcial pieces got online so far, and this initial speculation about some muslim influences. It is crazy! How Brazil can have a extreme muslim? Internet? This facts should be check, this misleading information should not create religious tensions.
Officers had mentioned it during the morning and his sister too - but I must admit our public educational system sucks and our average knowledge about other religions is close to zero...moreover, those persons who declared it were under such wage of tensions today. So, we should have caution to interprete it.
So, the piece of the letter open to public there is mention of God, not Allah, and his desiares to meet "Jesus" - not muslim at all.
The ritual procedure for the funeral that he described as his last wish, is muslim.. or he just copied from terrorist?

The most beautiful brazilian expression is "religious sincretism", in my opinion - we should teach the world it. We need to learn a lot of other stuff too... but let's keep tolerance as a word of brazilian roots.
