Lone Wolf attack, not representative of Islam, religion of peace, definitely not Islamic terrorism.

Unfortunately, mirror and other news sources reporting 17 year old Afghan was the perpetrator.

Fair enough. I just like to wait and see what the facts are with these things. We've all heard of attacks with this kind of weapon being carried out by individuals with mental health issues in the past, rather than political or religious motives. Taking it to the extreme, the mere fact that the individual in this case is reportedly from Afghanistan doesn't make it 100% certain that it was religiously motivated. It's possible- possible!- that he has his own psychological issues. Mental illness can happen to anyone, after all.

On the plus side, serious casualty levels appear much lower than first thought, which is something.

This is what is now getting scary, Nice was the same and so you are now going to get nutters just copying without the need of being a radical or anything else, just copycat cold blooded murder as I said earlier anytime, anyplace, anywhere, I know this has happened before Nice but it looks like it is going to really escalate, very worrying times in Europe, not a clue what the answer is.

German press are reporting that he shouted "Allahu Akhbar" before launching his attacks with an axe and knife. If only there was a common factor tying in all these attacks.

Some of you racist people and your prejudices make me sick.

Islam is the religion of peace, please try to remember that in future.

The events of the last week do back up the view that guns don't kill people, people kill people though. Just saying!

So basically it's a disturbed Afghan kid.

Sorry for those who have been hurt, and sorry that his short life came to this.

German police describing the background to the attack was "Islamist".

Obviously both of you are right here. He may indeed have been indoctrinated into radical warped Islamic ideology. Maybe he was unstable and was easily led. Maybe in his short life in a war zone, he experienced some pretty distressing things and times that drew him into it.

Not much benefit in trying to guess or presume, to my mind. The kid was the same age as my own (and yours). Neither a happy life nor end. I don't feel the inclination to judge him.

I'm not judging him, I'm judging his religion. There is something seriously wrong with it.

There's certainly something very seriously wrong with the take on it, in the minds of a small but significant faction of its followers. That point is beyond argument, id say.

Love seeing the lefties on here trying to find anything to blame apart from his religion.

 

[atfc village]

A religion that just cannot live in peace.

Exactly sir!
People should know this by now as after every (and I've lost count now) Islamist Terrorist Attack we a forced to endure the same PC bullshit rhetoric by every politician and Muslim spokesperson about how we are not allowed to judge the religion of peace as a whole, obviously because we are all so naive and stupid that we all needed that explained to us again and again!

erm not all muslims are terrorist but all terrorist attacks are muslim

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Good to see all the bigots out blaming the religion not the individual.

Atrocities are committed by disturbed people. Many disturbed people are influenced by radical religious views.
These are facts I will not dispute.

However Religion does not create disturbed people.

And, more importantly, what is an Anglia Merkel Muslim refugee?

It was a special edition of the Ford Anglia

 

[Hillian1]

There have been plenty of terrorist attacks that were not...

Well quite, but Islamic terrorism is currently top of the league, and not just on goal difference.

Absolutely right. Religious extremism is the excuse these mentally ill people use to justify carrying out the the crazy urges they have to harm others.

It's not religious, it's mental illness.

To stop these sick individuals we must do more to stop the ones who are influencing them, by urging them to do these acts of violence in the false name of religion.

It's not just the fact of his religion that led him to carry this out though, is it?
