It would appear the killer at VTU had some kind of connection to Islam after all. He signed his note and had written on his arm, "Ismail Ax". "Ismail" is based upon the Arabic spelling of "Ishmael", the so-called father of Islam. In the Quran, the story of Abraham's near sacrifice of his son is twisted such that it's supposedly Ishmael who is almost killed by his father, and it is supposedly Ishmael who is the son of promise. (Many false religions do this: twist the truth just enough to suit their purposes.) Also, some Muslim accounts of that sacrifice have Abraham wielding an ax rather than a knife as noted in the Bible. The phrase "Ismail Ax" is a way of saying "son of sacrifice" and is a tribute to Islam.

It's also been noted that this killer had a Pakistani neighbor. It's not beyond belief to suggest he (the killer) was converted to or had sympathies for Islam.

His note railing against rich people and so forth carried a tone that was reminiscent of Muslims' criticism of the West.

His manner was also one of being a loner, quiet, kept to himself, etc. It was exactly what was said of the 9/11 Muslims.

The major press isn't reporting these things, of course. For whatever perverted reasons, we Americans love to kiss our Muslim enemies' asses these days, so we can't afford to be pointing out the obvious connection between Islam and evil.

These facts (above) aren't conclusive yet, to be sure, and given our government's love for evil Islam (pardon the redundancy), we're not likely to hear any conclusive evidence of Cho's Muslim-ness (esp. because our government would then also have to admit its police state tactics aren't actually stopping terrorism). However, there are too many connections to Islam--most notably the "Ismail Ax"--to toss out the theory this killer was simply acting out his sincerely held religious beliefs.
