There is a reason why when something like this happens, everyone automatically knows it's radical islam. Because the vast majority of the time, it is. Political correctness be damned in my opinion. No one here is saying Muslims are at fault. We are specifically talking about radical, extremist Muslims who think Allah wants them to kill everyone who is not them.
But your statement here (my bold) is just flat out false.
Non muslims carry out 90% of terrorist attacks (2013 - USA)
And 98% in Europe (2015)
The media and certain groups of people just don't focus on them nearly as much.
Even if these are slightly out of date, and the statistics have risen for muslims, That is not anywhere near "the majority of the time".
It makes me feel icky to point this out in a thread about a group of murdered young people, so I'm not going to comment further except to say regardless of who did it or why it happened, my heart truly grieves with the families and loved ones of those lost, and injured.
It honestly scares the fuck out of me, and being the paranoid person I am, I will likely avoid large crowd while I'm in Germany (I already do that in America), not because of radical Islam specifically, but because of the monsters we find in every group of people.
Peace.
That STILL does not constitute the majority of migrants regardless. Just like most Mexicans who migrate to America are not violent criminals. I will not live in fear of my fellow human on the off chance of being murdered. You are still far more likely to die in a car accident or die from a domestic murder than you are to be killed by an illegal migrant or a terrorist.
You cave into "otherism" you are giving the terrorists exactly what they want.
It makes me feel horrible when any kid dies as a result of adult beefs. especially when those adults hide behind ANY religion.
Oh and the weekend of June 2nd, I will be going to a crowed restaurant, which can be a target of a mentally ill gun nutter, is that likely to happen? No. I am also going that weekend to a very popular aquarium which is also crowed on the weekend. That could also be a target for ether a nut with a gun or a terrorist. I fear more other drivers on the road than I do about dying under those other conditions.
