Good news, they shot the baastard dead as he tried to run away

It was a 17 year old as well, is 2016 up there as the worst year in our lifetime?

Attacker thought to be a 17yr old Afghan refugee.

There's gratitude for you...

worst year in our lifetime...so far...

Oh for feck sake!

Just read the boy was 17 years old of Afghan descent.

Que the radicalised Islam comments, how on page 403 in the Quran, it tells you to find an axe and attack people and of course my favourite, all Muslims are proud of these actions.

Woop Woop!

That's not an exert from the Quran.

It's from Islam for Dummies, surely...

Could be just a fruitcake like the Nice Lorry driver, a social outcast who wants to wreak havoc

I thought the Nice attacker had a network of people involved. Think I saw 12 associates of him were still under arrest?
I think that is the difference between a nutter and a terrorist - the planning.

The guy in Nice was radicalised and had been reading all about how to cause an horrific terror event etc.
No idea yet about the German guy.

We can hazard a guess though

That Nice fellow wasn't a very good chap to start with. His neighbours said he was violent, liked a drink, weights and salsa dancing. Some of this arrested just because they knew him have been released, like his estranged wife.

it's OK putting these attacks down to mental health issues but why is it that so many of these nutters identify as Muslims? Is it simply coincidence or is there something they are being told / taught that sends them this way?

Odd. An off topic article and it hasn't been pulled.

Sadly, if you are capable of giving up reason to follow religion then you are capable of being manipulated into doing anything - your morals are merely instructions from an ancient book rather than based on instinctive compassion.

Of course the majority of religious people improve their behaviour due to fear of eternal wrath but the delusions of religion also lead to acts of evil in their name.

What is compounding this fact further is that the already unhinged are drawn to extremist Islam, which is essentially providing extra tools, encouragement and further justification (in their minds) to go ahead and unleash their lunacy.

Their will always be nutters and a world without religion certainly wouldn't change this btw. However, what Islam is currently doing is giving them a bigger voice, influence over others and a heaven full of virgins to further justify their evil acts.

I predict page 4

Human tragedy is a daily occurrence for most around the world - we as a species are experts at doing major damage to one an other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In some ways we are like other species that form in packs and herds and will be defensive and offensive towards outsiders.

Except we have a superior intellect that enables us to know better but on the other hand enables us to be even more sly and cunning. You don't see many other species infiltrate another pack or herd, pretend to integrate, and then strike while others backs are turned.

There's lots of reasons for the problems but when you steal a country, force the local inhabitants away for eternity with no hope of ever going back to their homeland, lie, cheat and kill to get what you want, then that is a recipe for disaster.

The answer is a worldwide ban on salsa dancing

And he was shouting God is great whilst he did it.

Science - please. Humans will justify killing with all types of mental gymnastics. Dropping endless bombs that kills thousands is no better than the actions of Isis etc killing is killing in the end of the day. Whether it's done with a bomb or a gun, it has the same result. People will kill in the name of religion, freedom, ethnic superiority. It's all lies and cloaked murder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While I strongly disagree with how the West has approached the Middle East.

If you can't see the difference between the (disgraceful) way the US/UK has killed innocents by mistake and the way IS kill innocents intentionally then you have issues.

Btw it's clear the US/UK have destabilized and pillaged these countries for money and people like Bush and Blair should be sent to jail.

The issue with religion is that it is binding, it throws away reason and on the harmless level has grown men & women talking to figments of an ancient scholars imagination.

At it's worst it has people living their life in fear of eternal wrath and because they're scared of death/lack the ability to be logical they are capable of doing anything - it's far more dangerous than States, Army's or individuals.

Kfc and his mates never comment how many Muslims are killed by Muslims, how some hide weapons in mosques shoot from hospitals, use human shields, desicrate and mutilate dead bodies, execute hostages.

Use children as human bombs, convert people to attack market places full of innocent people.

I hope all the victims make full recoveries.
