According to news reports, Andreas had told a friend he wanted to send a message to the world, and to do it spectacularly.
The few details known at this point reveal a man who was angry at the system and wanted to send a message.
But it was more than the system he wanted to hurt. He murdered 149 innocent people - mostly Europeans - among them babies and teenagers.
It is this indiscriminate targeting of so many civilians that made the media initially suspect there was a Muslim connection. Andreas' Facebook page was immediately taken down, so people were left to speculate.

UPDATE #1 - March 27, 2015
Germanwings Co-Pilot Andreas Lubitz
Was Planning “Spectacular Gesture”
He said he was going do something "that would change the system"
and "make everyone remember" him.

Airbus crash pilot Andreas Lubitz had been planning a spectacular gesture to make everyone "remember" who he was, it was claimed on Friday night.

An ex-girlfriend of the Germanwings pilot who crashed his plane in the French Alps, killing all 149 others on board, described him as "tormented" and able to hide secrets.
Maria, 26 (not her real name), told Bild newspaper that when she heard about the crash she remembered that he had said he was going do something "that would change the system" and "make everyone remember" him. She added: "It didn't make sense at the time but now it all does." Maria, who is thought to have met Lubitz at work, said he would wake up at night screaming in terror: "We're going down."
Her claim follows revelations by the Dusseldorf prosecutor that Lubitz had been declared unfit, or unwell, in the days leading up to his last fatal flight on Tuesday, but that he had hidden this from his employer.
It emerged that Lubitz tore up a sick note signing him off work on the day of the crash, and kept it a secret from the airline. He had been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Dusseldorf as recently as March 10, just two weeks before the tragedy, but had also concealed this from his employers.
Maria added: "He knew how to hide what was really going on and how hide it from other people." She added: "When I heard about the crash, there was just a tape playing in my head of what he said: 'One day I will do something that will change the system and everyone will then know my name and remember me.' "I did not know what he meant by that at the time, but now it's clear."

"I did not know what he meant by that at the time, but now it's clear."
German investigators refused to confirm whether the sick note, or the hospital treatment, related to depression, though Lubitz is reported to have taken time out from his pilot training after suffering mental illness before he finally qualified.
As the hunt continued for a motive for Lubitz’s mass murder, it also emerged that he had recently split from his girlfriend, and appeared to have made a desperate last attempt to win her back by buying her a brand new Audi car only weeks ago. She appeared to have said no, as the car was never delivered.
Following Thursday’s disclosures about Lubitz locking the captain out of the cockpit and putting flight 9525 into a terminal dive, a picture has emerged of Lubitz as a highly secretive man tormented by mental and possibly physical illness, as well as his failed relationship.
A spokesman for the prosecutors’ office in Dusseldorf, which carried out searches of Lubitz’s apartment in the city and his parents’ home in the nearby town of Montabaur, where he spent much of his time, said: “Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors.
“The fact there are sick notes saying he was unable to work, among other things, that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime, support the assumption based on the preliminary examination that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues.”
They refused to disclose the nature of Lubitz’s recent illness, but he is known to have taken a break from flight training in 2009 after he was diagnosed with a “major depressive episode” and anxiety attacks and listed “unable to fly”.

The following reports have been gathered by the Gateway Pundit's sleuthing work on the web. They need to be officially confirmed by police investigators before we can ascertain that the pilot was indeed inspired by his Muslim faith.
Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz - Murdered 149 passengers of the plane he piloted |
A German news website claims
Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert
By Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit
Speisa.com reported:
According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz.
Translation from German:
Apparently from the comments at German PI – Andreas Lubitz was Muslim convert from his Facebook page.All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder.
A close friend of Andreas Lubitz says he was mentally unstable.

More rumors: He had a Muslim girlfriend
It was said that Lubitz had a Muslim girlfriend. It is unclear if she was still dating Lubitz at the time of the crash. It is unclear if he met the woman through his Muslims friends.
One said that Lubitz had broken off the relationship after he pledged to commit Jihad for Allah. (This cannot be verified at this moment.)

DAILY MAIL REPORTS: SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY MADE AT LUBITZ'S APARTMENT
Yesterday, Lubitz's boss admitted he had slipped through the ‘safety net’ and should never have been flying.
Last night police raided Lubitz’s family home in a small town north of Frankfurt and an apartment in Dusseldorf, taking away a computer, laptop and other files. Lubitz is understood to have split his time between the two addresses.
A police spokesman said: ‘We wanted to search to see if we could find something that would explain what happened.
'We have found something which will now be taken for tests. We cannot say what it is at the moment but it may be very significant clue to what has happened. We hope it may give some explanations.'
German detectives carry boxes with evidence
from Lubitz' Dusseldorf's apartment.
German detectives also carry computer from Lubitz's
family home in Montabaur, north of Frankfurt.
