Munich shooter had "no link to Islamic state"

By saying that this thread was made for the sole purpose of that. It's not. It's to spread facts rather than paranoia and misinformation. You really don't like facts, do you?

Now, give me proof that this thread was made for left-wingers to giggle and jeer at the non-involvement of Islam. Does the OP show any indication of that? I've posted a link by the BBC, and stated what it contains.

Was and were also depend on the subjunctive mood of the statement; when referring to hypothetical situations, were is the correct choice. So please, get educated before you try to correct me.

He's named after the Fourth Caliph.

Don't tell me, Shi'ites aren't proper Muslims.

He's named after the Fourth Caliph.

He was a Muslim from Iran.

One side of the political compass: Woohoo he wasn't an Islamist **** yeah!

Other side: Whatever! He's still Muslim scum so... Whatever!

In 2016 alone - we have bared witness to 1,274 Islamic terrorists attacks in over 50 countries, resulting in the deaths of 11,774 people and injuring a further 14,303. In the past fortnight here in Europe, France has experienced the death of 84 people at the hands of radical Islamic terror with over 200 injuries - not to mention the lone knife attacks which have taken place in Germany and France in the past two weeks as well. Islamic State is hellbent on inflicting misery on people who don't adhere to their skewed misinterpretation of Islam, more so in Europe given the role European powers have played in the military offensive against Islamic State arsenals in Iraq and Syria.

If you think Ali is a specific reference to a specific Caliph rather than a common name, you're a complete moron.

BBC named him as David Sonboly. Have you ever heard about such Muslim name?

I didn't say that this thread was made for the sole purpose of detracting from the loss of life or the ensued threat of Islamic terrorism in Europe.

In your saying I don't like facts, please explain to me where I've said, showed or implied anything to make you assume that I'm against the notion that the shooter in this case was not associated with radical Islam or my going against factual evidence. Once again, you're the one implying falsities.

Tanya, it is clear that the reason behind your creating this thread was to oppose the right who are trying to make a valid link between Islam and mass terror in Europe. I don't know what threads you're referring to in your saying that "all I see are right-wingers trying really hard to make this related to Islam", but there are only a small group of people proclaiming that the attack two days ago was a police cover-up or somehow associated with Islamic terror.

Also, stop ending every post you make with a snide comment because it speaks volumes about your personality and it doesn't make you sound witty.

BBC named him as David Sonboly. Have you ever heard about such Muslim name?

The BBC have now returned to calling him Ali.

The sad thing is that unsophisticated people are taken in by the BBC. They sadly don't get that far from being a respectable, unbiased news outlet, it endlessly pushes its own centre left agenda.

Do me a favour, google Ali Sonboly. How many hits do you get?

(I got 1,170,000 as a point of reference just now).

Then tell me why the PC BBC persist in calling him something other than the name his Muslim parents gave him?

Any idea?

On the evening of the 22nd of June, we were informed of a shooting by a man outside a fast food restaurant just a few days after the tragedy in France. Given the pertinence of mass terror in Europe at the hands of radical Islam, I don't how one can denounce the presumption made by many members on this forum that this is likely to be related to Islamic State given recent events and the continuous threat they pose to European peace and freedom. Albeit the shooter in question - now we know - has no ties to Islamic State, the presumption otherwise was not an unfounded proclamation at the time.

I understand this thread was meant to appease left wingers who want to giggle and jeer at the noninvolvement of Islam, however the notion that this detracts from the horror which families would have went through on that evening or the incessant threat that Islamic State poses to the freedoms of western democracy has not been mitigated by the actions of one loner in the murdering of nine innocent people. The left are the people who have an utter inability to criticise the incompatibility of Islam in western society which is why far-right populism is thriving in many afore liberal European countries.

I really will need proof from you that this thread was no more than relaying what the BBC has broadcasted as a fact, to inform people still going on about islamic terrorism that this has not been the case in this instance. Considering no one else has made a thread to confirm the shooter's motives (all I've seen are threads STILL speculating his race/religion/place of birth in a cheap attempt to demonise Islam), I found it necessary. Everything you replied with was wholly irrelevant, because I know how much of a problem Islamic extremism is in Europe and it was more or less fair to assume it when we first heard about Munich. But now that the FACTS are here, pushing that agenda only seems foolish and racist.

And I wouldn't need to end every reply to you with a snide comment if everything you said wasn't so insufferable and insulting of the left-wing. Oh look, I did it again!

Mental illness and social failings can be exacerbated by multiculturalism. Sounds like he grew up alienated in an environment with no real identity, neither German nor Iranian.
