The driver … came to Germany in 2006. But he is not an Islamist … on the contrary: He was apparently a radical critic of Islam and sympathized with the AfD – and Elon Musk.

    Non-islamic right wing terrorist attacks are more common than islamist terrorist attacks in Germany. For “some reason” it just doesn’t end up in the news for long.

      True, but extreme right wing terrorists seem to be more frequently what they like to call “biodeutsch” and also rarely from more privileged classes such as doctors.

          I know they exist. I’m talking about the expected profile which doesn’t fit in several places, thus, in my humble opinion, not really fitting the use case for surprised pikachu face which implies that everything is as expected and there is nothing of note and nobody should be surprised by any of this.

      I think it does get quite some media coverage - depends on the media you consume, I guess. Also, both are horrific and should be condemned. Just because there’s an Islamist attack, you don’t get to say “well, there are right wing attacks as well”. Both can fuck right off.
