      I think the word “terrorist” is not a good word here. It was a mentally ill individual with an unknown motive.

        Id argue that almost every terrorist is mentally ill.

        He was a muslim who attacked an anti-islamic rally. Seems like a pretty clear motive to me.

      At least they made sure to highlight the rally is anti-muslim. It’s just funny following the reporting on the incident so far, as everyone saw the video, how obvious is the bias and tiptoeing around the fact that this was a religiously motivated attack against “anti-islam” activists. But due to the mental gymnastic that does not fit the narrative of doctors and engineers migrants.

        The people the guy attacked were Nazis. They are not anti-Islam activists, they are Nazis. This is not an anti-Muslim rally, this is a Nazi rally.

        Violence is always wrong, and so is your dogwhistling.

          Shtop right there, do you have a loicense for that gigantic hyperbolic lie sir? Like serious define your view of “Nazism” for me, if I want to stretch beyond a national movement, I would say probably islamophobic or xenophobic, but then again that says nothing much, but you know what, islamophibia would have saved that cop’s life in retrospect.
          Because they are literally anti-Nazis. Funnily enough, they see Islam as Nazism due to Sharia being close to a lot of tenant of Islam (superiority, discrimination, etc …), and their activity was mainly protesting anti-jihad islamization. So how is this bad again? Explain this to an ex-muslim please. Luckily there are videos showing clearly what happened so even if you want to still live in denial at least no one will believe your delusional take hopefully, and equating killing someone and stabbing with dogwhisling is absolutely nuts. I would prefer to be dogwhistled any day over getting stabbed.

          Oh so they advocate for another holocaust? Somehow I doubt theyre actually nazis. Methinks this is another case of anyone right of Stalin is considered a nazi.

            Yes they are Nazis and the Nazis in Germany have met in secret to plot deporting people to Africa that are not German enough, this includes German citizens whose blood is not pure enough according to their definition.

            I honestly don’t understand this comment section. The leader of these people is a convicted extremist who was under surveillance for many many years. He is a nazi and wants to overthrow democracy.

            On the other hand there was a Muslim bystander trying to stop the guy, a Muslim police officer stopping the guy and a Muslim paramedic treating the attacked. I wonder why you don’t care about that being mentioned.

              If youre so not German to the point you stab people, maybe you should be deported for not being german enough.

                And there you go, this is the guy who received 60 upvotes for his comment about wanting to emphasize that the attacker was Muslim.

      It also fails to mention that the organising group is far right. So maybe it evens out?

        I mean, the officer was not killed by a protestor. If you read the title it seems that it was the group’s fault

          Not to take any blame away from the terrorist, but this is what the organisers hope for.

          And Putin is jumping with joy. Anything that divide us is good for him. Wouldn’t surprise me if Russia funded the organisers.

            Sounds like victim blaming to me. You should be able to protest without worrying about a terrorist attack.

      Because the reasons are the last thing you should report on in a terrorist attack?

      Getting their word out is literally the entire reason they did a terrorism, publicizing that info is literally assisting the terrorists.

      As far as responsible reporting should be concerned, all terrorists are of the same cloth, scum, and they can all die mad together about all being seen as the same.

        Its a very specific cloth theyre cut from, and that cloth has made it clear what the plan is. I feel like noting its muslim is part of reporting the news.

        The way it reads now is victim blaming.
