From Dutch reports I'm reading it looks like it could be a mental health situation rather then terrorism?

The Dutch Authorities are currently treating it as terrorist related due to the contents of a letter found at the suspects home. The fact that he had previous isnt really all that a surprise, it is easier for fantatics to manipulate people that already have problems.

And yet you’re part Celt, part Anglo-Saxon, part Norse potentially, part Indian/Caribbean/East Asian maybe, part French, and so forth. Perhaps even more diverse depending on specific circumstances.

And we ruled the biggest empire off the back of it, so yes multiculturalism is objectively a marvel. Unless you want to hide like a coward from the world.

He doesn't hate his own countrymen though, like this cretin and many others do.

Funny how he's gone quiet now, isn't it?

Reading some comments on here, some people really think that "jihadis" do what they do because they are told to do it and it is part of there religion..

Perhaps the real problem is the lack of development/success in the Muslim world leading to failed countries which are ripe for picking from more powerful countries who exploit this to there advantage causing untold deaths and suffering on a massive scale. Like the NZ guy who wrote "revenge for xxx" on his gun, it is the same mentality.

It is part of their religion. Sure they have an extremist interpretation but let’s not pretend that Islam is all nice and peaceful etc...

It actually is, otherwise you have a billion or so Muslims wreaking havoc all over the world. Just depends on the interpretation of certain verses in the Quran and hadiths.

But you know narrative and all that rubbish ;).

Well exactly, it depends on interpretations and indeed what they choose to cherry pick and what gets ignored or not acted upon.The bad stuff is still there, it is part of Islam.

"Doesn't fit your narrative" is quickly becoming one of my least favourite sentences. The repetition and the emptiness of what it even tries to say just winds me up. And it only seems to come up when we get into the Left vs Right arguments, which themselves are becoming tedious, so it's a double whammy of URGH.

Anyway, as you were :(

Take a look at the list of muslim majority countries around the world, most are not places you would choose to live.

Wow thats an awful lot of muslims "misinterpreting" have you noticed how most of the terrorist groups in the world are Islamic?

Why is that I wonder? Could it possibly be something in the teachings of Islam?
