When news broke that an assailant had shot several people at YouTube’s San Bruno, Calif., headquarters this week, speculation abounded on social media about the alleged shooter, Nasim Aghdam — including her faith.

Some were quick to label the suspect — a prolific YouTube creator, vegan and animal-rights activist — as Muslim or Jewish. But evidence soon emerged that Aghdam, a San Diego resident, was affiliated with the Baha’I faith — a smaller tradition whose leaders confirmed that she was a registered member of the group on Wednesday (April 4), a day after the shooting. Their statement also condemned violence and expressed condolences for the victims.[religionnews.com]?
