FRANKFURT, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The suspect in custody for a stabbing rampage in the western German city of Solingen that killed three people and injured eight is a 26-year-old Syrian man, authorities said early on Sunday.

    Yeah here you go: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/06/terrorism-far-right-white-supremacists-911-us

    The guy from Norway, the guy in New Zealand, the guys in Germany were all nazi shooters mowing down immigrants. But politics and media call them lone wolfs or disoriented kids and it has nothing to do with their nazi manifestos vs if they’re Muslim it’s a problem of Islam as a whole.

    I don’t blame anyone for actually believing that Islamism is real our biggest threat because media and politics make it seem that way.

      But in fairness I believe those numbers vary year on year, and some years the figures are wildly different. After the Syrian influx for example.

      I don’t blame anyone for actually believing that Islamism is real our biggest threat because media and politics make it seem that way.

      Cards on the table. I believe, like most people do according to opinion polls, that it is a bigger threat. And obviously I can’t prove this but I am also more or less certain that I am at least as informed as you, from at least as many sources. For what it’s worth - and this is purely for context - I work in a media-adjacent field and have humanities degrees in different European languages.

      So perhaps this is not a case of mass indoctrination, but rather simply of individuals having different values.

        Did you read the article? It doesn’t talk about one specific year and covers also the period after “the Syrian influx”. Far right terrorism consistently beats Islamist terrorism both in terms of frequency and lethality.

        Regarding your second point it would just help reading the article that I linked. You may believe that you’re informed but still your feeling goes against hard facts. You asked for statistics, we gave you statistics, you still refuse to change your mind so I don’t see any point continuing this conversation.

            It is common knowledge that during the year following the Syrian influx several hundred people were killed and over a thousand injured in a serious of spectacular terrorist attacks.

            Can you support this claim with a reliable source? Because that is a huge hyperbole to my knowledge, with most of the rare Islamist attacks having a low single digit number of casualties and not that many more injured. The list on Wikipedia seems to support my knowledge on that point.

            Yeah I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt but you’re apparently just another right wing troll and I’m tired of that, one of the reasons I left Reddit and it’s always a pain in the ass when people like you arrive. I was only waiting for the part you’re treating 1.5bn Muslims as a monolith and here we are. You’re full of shit.
