    No, it makes a lot of logical sense. Yes, it is pure evil.

    We ask the same thing about Islamist bombings.

    What I'm saying, and I'll reiterate is that it does no good to lay blame anywhere until we know the facts, otherwise it just becomes an IS bombing even if it turns out to be a Neo Nazi in a lot of people's narratives.
    Frankly the only thing they got going for them by attacking manchester is banking on people have these strong memories of the prior one and if they wanted that, they picked their target awfully.

    Because it is a repeatedly demonstrated fact that the only group of people who get more giddy than ISIS at the prospect of Muslims killing Westerners are right-wing Westerners. They fucking deserve each other.

    The past couple years have been plagued by attacks by fanatical religious extremists and it shouldn't surprise anyone that ISIS is the first organization people think of when a new attack occurs. There's something incredibly dishonest about the tone people use towards others who are sick of Al-Qaeda and their numerous variants shit when tragedies like this happen. Yes, we should wait to get the facts before jumping to conclusions, but any thinking persons money is on some lone wolf psychopath inspired by or working with ISIS.
    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    Even if it were the modified claim you're now claiming it to be, you'd still be wrong. Your own links fall well short of 90%.
    It's clearly terrorism, didn't I clearly state "post-2010" which is where this new terror wave happens. Only 4-5 attacks weren't islam related. "not 90%". Pedantry and word twisting is a trait of post-modernist; the greatest mental illness to exist in this generation.

    I don't see it. Even if there were 50 more... 1000 more terrorist attacks by muslims today it still would leave 99,9999% of the muslims innocent of having any involvement in this.
    speculating that it was a Muslim is not the same as saying all Muslims are involved

    Well, I'm sure there are plenty of people here who still think the Dortmund team bus bombing was Islamists. Even if that's one example in 10 or 20; it's still an important example of reason why not to just immediately jump to conclusions.

    have some respect.
    Nobody is saying this isn't a tragedy. People die needlessly every day. All day. Look at the atrocities happening in African countries. When was the last time you posted about that? Where innocent women and children are killed and maimed every day. And that's just in one part of the globe. This isn't about people being killed for you. This is about the people who you think are doing the killing. Don't want people to think you're trying to politicize this? Then stop choosing specific situations and practice what you preach and show everyone that you're concerned with everyone who is killed needlessly in this world.

    Oh, yes, a terrorist attack.

    Connect your brains and learn to read and interpret written text, pretty please.

    Don't the IRA give out warnings before they blow up a car bomb in a area where there are civilians? I think I read that somewhere, might be mistaken tho.

    Correct. People are just wary of speculating on Muslims right away because all Muslims (in a given effective radius of course) could be affected by doing so and be treated worse as a result.

    Who said anything about 90% of attacks not being related to Islam? It was claimed that they were right 9 times out of 10 by blindly guessing it's Islam. That's not even true, not even post-2010.

    Do you guys even speak English? You have no idea what's going on in this conversation or what's being said and apparently are just vomiting up anti-Islam sentiment without a single coherent or consistent thought behind it.
    You didn't even read anything, you handwaved it off immediately, show your working or suck it up.

    My 12 year old just walked by and said "oh another terrorist attack, huh"? Why kind of world do we live in. It's sickening where this is has become the new normal.

    "I'll insult you instead of proving my point". Lets put it this way, when you exclude Germany and France you're at 70-75% Islam. The others aren't anywhere near targeted as much as Germany and France.
