In Europe Christian congregations are really peaceful, for the most part. But that’s my point, no religious organizations should be allowed to breed violent extremism, and the Left has this huge issue of not daring to point out how big the problem is with Muslim congregations (in Europe, compared to other religions).
No religion should be treated differently here.
But it turned out the terrorist here was a critic of Islam, that’s my bad for assuming otherwise when reading he’s from Saudi Arabia. I’m sorry for that.
The article didn’t but for context german elections are happening in a couple months. I think the perpetrator wanted to portray immigrants as bad or that immigrants are attacking german values/culture.
The attacker was an ex-muslim, pro afd and anti-islam, and anti-immigrant activist.
In many ways, he was similar to the person you replied to.
Edit: you know whats funny? If this attacker was pro islam, you would see it in the headline
At the time I wrote it it was just known that he was from Saudi Arabia, and I assumed (maybe wrongly) that he was an Islamist.
I stand by my comment because most of these types of terror attacks have been carried out by Islamists over the years 🤷♂️ and because governments and even Muslims themselves acknowledge radical preachers, funded by foreign states or militias, are a big problem.
And none of them are internally consistent. People choose which parts to give priority to.
You could watch Star Wars and come away thinking fascism is a great way to bring about order as long as there are no meddling space wizards, but that’s not the point of it.
Are you George Lucas? Can you read George Lucas’ mind? Exactly, so don’t pretend you know what the point of Star Wars is. For the record, it is about lasers pew pew pew pewwww
But the religions aren’t just determined by their books, but by how they are organized and practiced… Judaism has some insane schools, but no religion causes as much violence, harm and suppression as Islam.
Islam needs to be deradicalized now, it’s such a well known problem how many radical preachers there are in mosques in Europe
I live in the Baptist south and feel exactly the same way about churches… Get some perspective, drop the bigotry.

Yes, those should be treated the same way
Seems the driver was an anti-Islam right wing nut job. Do you think we need to de radicalise the right? Twitter?
Yes, that would be a great idea, too :)
The article didn’t mention Islam or any motive.

Bro you sound just like that guy who attacked and killed people
It’s tough to deradicalize religion. Almost all of the various holy books advocate for violence in various ways.
And none of them are internally consistent. People choose which parts to give priority to.
