Muslim who encouraged attack in Garland worked for Amnesty International

He also shared tweets by others encouraging an attack similar to the massacre at the office of Paris-based Charlie Hebdo magazine, including calls for "brothers in Texas" to go to the event "with your weapons, bombs or with knifes", News Corp Australia reported.

He also shared a map of the building where the cartoon event was held and tweets by others encouraging an attack similar to the massacre at the office of Paris-based Charlie Hebdo magazine, including calls for "brothers in Texas" to go to the event "with your weapons, bombs or with knifes", News Corp Australia also reported.

Fairfax Media conducted an interview with him through Twitter. While his identity cannot be verified, Fairfax Media has no reason to doubt he is the same person who posted the previous statements that appear to encourage the Texas attacks.

He refused to give details about himself, but said he was aged in his 20s, lived in Perth and regularly attended a mosque. He said he previously worked at Amnesty International Australia.

He lives in Australia, of Lebanese descent, was raised a Muslim and is part of a loose network of terrorists. 

The Obama attempt to deny that Islamists are behind this attack is absurd. It's a worldwide phenomenon that isn't handing out membership cards or badges to prove membership. Anyone who's willing to engage in violence and kill in the name of Allah can join.  And NGOs are  a perfect place for them to gather followers.
