I needed there to be a thread on this forum that delivers this simple, plain-as-day piece of knowledge because all I see are right-wingers trying really hard to make this related to Islam and getting too worked up when they're faced with the facts at hand :redface:
They will be inventing conspiracy theories that his links with Islamic extremists are being covered up by the German police, who are "regressive leftists". This is despite the fact that they were able to quickly identify and report the links of the Afghan who committed a terrorist attack with Da'esh.
Even if he wasn't linked with them, doesn't mean he wasn't an Islamist.
Two nights ago OP you were sure it was far-right.

There's no evidence in relation to his religion, let alone ties to religious extremism.

Good thing I've caught up with the facts, now. Have you?

I agree it was not connected to religion, but the people celebrating (which in of itself is in poor taste) were so sure it was a far-right terror attack so it's a bit rich to take some sort of moral high ground.

It's distasteful to hope and pray that he was a Muslim just to push your agenda, and then refuse to accept the facts when you're proven hilariously wrong.
Kinda funny how a kid living in a Shia household targeted a bunch of Sunni Muslims. Probably just a coincidence.

They weren't all Sunni Muslims. Some of them were. And there aren't many Shias anyway so if you shoot a lot of people the majority of gem are going to either be Sunni Muslim or Christian.

I never said it were a Jihadi attack nor did I wish for it, because I'm not a total psychopath :dunce:

The inanity (and ignorance of Islam) revealed in these threads is staggering.

He was a Shi'ite. The Islamic State are Sunnis. Of COURSE he wasn't linked to Islamic State. Duh!

Oh cool, so maybe next time you won't assume that I'm celebrating any aspect of this attack either; I too am not a total psychopath.

I'm glad you admit it was a coincidence, albeit your distasteful sarcasm. Stop generalising the religion of those 8 people who were murdered just to serve a narrative.

He's named after the Fourth Caliph.
