Would it make you feel better if the guy was labeled a terrorist? I mean, seriously, what is your goal with this thread?
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.
I would toss religious in with the politicals. Both have an agenda that requires their viewpoint to be on top.

As has been said numerous times here, the label of terrorist is dependent on motive, not whether or not someone is Muslim.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Um, "Islam" is a religion not a race. "Bigot" would apply to skin tone and or religion, but religion is always religion and never a race. You can ditch a religion and leave it, you cant leave your own skin tone.

As do I.
And the Iraqi government is dealing with captured fighters the correct way.
"You admit to fighting for Daesh? Why?"
"Because I was tricked into doing it."
"Guilty. Death by hanging. Next!"
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

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.
Is it your point that it is not impossible for non-muslim to occasionally equal Muslims in acts of violence upon other on-line?

More like:
"Did you fight for the deash?"
"No"
"Doesn't matter, death. We want to make sure you remain innocent forever".
