A German terrorist who is not a Muslim drove into a crowd; killing 3 and injuring 20.
The terrorist wasn't a Muslim. So the label "terrorist" was not given to him by the media, because he didn't satisfy the condition of being a Muslim.

Atlas, it's hard to call Germans racist when they take in more refugees than any other country.

It's been a very very long time since I heard about a "non-Muslim" terrorist.

Terrorism typically has a religious or political motivation behind it. That doesn't seem to be the case here, which is likely why he isn't being referred to as a terrorist.

And the very first official terrorists were Algerians.

Atlas,
Would it make you feel better if the guy was labeled a terrorist? I mean, seriously, what is your goal with this thread?

Probably because they are rare. Face it: People who perform mass killings for the purpose of furthering or calling attention to their cause are mostly Muslims.
Timothy McVeigh is probably the most famous non-Muslim terrorist.

In the US. Europe has had a few groups that made the news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_de...ist_groups

I can only guess all the asshole bigoted Trump supporters hoping it was a Muslim.

I actually agree with Atlas. And it would make me feel better if people stopped pussy-footing around on the issue of "terrorism." Anyone who kills in the furtherance of a political cause is just as much a terrorist as some asshole who kills in the name of religion. Now this guy in Germany may have simply been batshit crazy which is a slightly different kettle of fish. But at least in Germany he couldn't get his hands on an AR-15 and open fire on a crowded theater.
