What I really don't understand why these people hate us in the free world so much that they want to kill us.
In my country they receive free housing and have priority over ordinary citizens, unlimited free legal aid, healthcare and every month a check for the rest of their lives, no obligations at all and still ... only hatred.

And the three victims so far named by the Daily Mail are certainly not of German descent. It makes it no less tragic, but it seems this was not linked to terror and more in the vein of Holmes/Aurora or Harris & Klebold/Columbine.

This was very much Terrorism, German domestic terrorism perhaps, but still terrorism. Ideology (Bader Meinhof / RAF / Weather Underground), Religious - can also be ideology in the name of religion - (ISIS), Nationalistic (IRA), Environmental (ELF), and then simply mental health: all are terrorism.

Iranians are mostly Sunni so this doesn't look like Isis, plus the shooter shouted out he was a German earlier, so I think this is probably more mental health issues than ideological.

ISIS are mostly khawarij. Their leadership claim to be sunni, but don't practice much from the sunnah, which is a prerequisite of being sunni. |

Haha - not calling you a jerk - seriously - I appreciate the personal experience and knowledge you bring to topics and discussion here. I was simply stuttering on my knee jerk comment.
As for the generalization on whether terrorism or crime we do paint with a broader brush and getting into the weeds allows for a more a distinct discussion. It is exacerbqted when an old guy like me is doing it on a mobile device.

People are complicated and they may have multiple motivations for their actions. Look at the Orlando shooter for instance. We attempt to put it into a neat little box in order to try and make sense of the nonsensical. Ultimately ISIS got what they wanted with this guy. Did they inspire him that extra 1% or 90% that he needed to have the stones and motivation to carry out this act? We will never know.

I find them informative and enjoy the varied viewpoints of members from around the world. Current event topics only get political when members can't control themselves and feel the need to interject their personal opinions on topics that they could have otherwise ignored.

It is a shame that on a number of occasions, I have gone to read a good thread after waking up the next morning, only to find that it has been closed because someone couldn't obey the rules.
