Reports now saying it was deliberate. Holding back the origins of the attacker atm.

Someone please explain to me, why Islamic terrorists are attacking Germany ? What is its involvement in the Syrian war, other than taking in refugees ?

They can hold it back, but we all know who it was. A majority of muslims are not terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are muslim. So when tragic events like this happens they are almost always to blame.

This will only stop when governments of the world grow a back bone.

My friend just landed back from Berlin and was at that market 2 days ago, had to drop him a message on Whatsapp to make sure he wasn't there. Crazy.

Same, although it was my personal trainer with his miss's and son.

Because it strengthens the culture that is wholly incompatible with the west. They see that influx of refugees as a chance to take over and are empowered to commit more terrorist attacks.

No, they're doing it because ISIS is saying commit more lone wolf attacks. The refugees do not enter the equation.

Terrible suffering at the hands of another lunatic.

Weird that some peoples first thoughts are to defend a religion rather than think about the victims of an attack.

A few friends were at the market, I hope they are ok but sadly these types of incidents will continue to become more and more frequent and the death tolls will become ever more, Some people simply can't face the fact that some cultures really should not mix.

Sadly it's a typical knee jerk Stockholm syndrome reaction.

Would be great if people could just stop this madness of killing eachother over religion.

Read what I said. I said ones who actively try and impose their views through terrorism. That doesn't include those who think x, y, and z but don't do anything 'wrong'.

I think that's a rather narrow definition of fundamental Islamist.

Islam isn't the problem, Islamic extremists using Islam to justify their actions is what the problem is.

They still truly believe in their actions and do what they do in the name of their god though.

Religion is always the cause. It's a growing stain on humanity.

I don't agree with that, I have many friends that follow Islam and are some of the best people I know.

Those who have peaceful muslim friends..

I'm sorry, but the minority does not represent the majority.
I am sure that plenty of germans were fine, normal caring people during WW2..

But it's not weird for some peoples first thoughts to be to attack a religion than think about the victims of an attack?

It answered questions people couldn't answer 2000 years ago.

And the only question it still answers today is "What happens after I die?", people don't want to come to terms with the fact that nothing happens. And so they take solace in religion. Religion serves no purpose in the 21st century.

Yep, that's weird too.

I didn't say it meant anything? :confused:

Unlike most people here I don't have an agenda and just reported something I saw on the news and looked up. Get a grip.

That's a given. But words said on an internet forum don't really mean anything in the end.

You're really sensitive aren't you? Your tidbit of information really doesn't mean anything.

Over the last 2 years since the refugee crisis began there have been 24 terrorist attacks in Europe. There were 24 from 2000-2014. Even through the years of the gulf and Afghanistan wars there was nothing like there is today. It can't be just a coincidence.
