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

I didn't call German people anything, I just referred to the commuter with what the mainstream media call Muslims who do similar crimes: terrorist.
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.

Boru

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.

Quote:Münster police search for motive of driver who killed himself after ploughing vehicle into crowd

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.

 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.
