hypocritical coming from you. I thought your mantra was to "wait for the facts" in every situation. Are you saying that this is not the case?
Lets do it this way. If you were a wagering man; what would you say the odds that the driver was a Muslim?
Actually I didn't place blame on the Muslim terrorists, but I did state a true fact that Germany has a massive problem with Muslim terrorists, independent of whether they are to blame for this or not. If you recall, this was the same approach used in Nice, France a while back, and those were Muslim terrorists. I'll of course keep an open mind as to whom is responsible for this - we cannot yet rule out the Greeks!
but you did not have a problem with other people blaming Muslims already, before the facts have been released. The bigtexxx I know would have had issues with other people jumping to conclusions on a situation, before the facts are available to him. Are you going to call out the majority of the posters in this thread, who did not wait for the facts? You typically do this.
It appears you are the one making assumptions! I didn't blame the Muslim terrorists for this! I said that Germany has a problem with Muslim terrorists.
Please read carefully. I understand your original response. I am now asking you a different question. Do you have a issue with other posters in this thread not waiting for the facts?
Stop being an annoying twat. People were just murdered, and you are unsuccessfully trying to score points. Just STFU you idiot.
There's really nothing to talk about as of yet because we don't actually know the motivation behind this.
Have some compassion for the victims in Germany and how it is going to impact the day to day lives of all of us that see modified safety procedures and limited personal freedoms because some idiots cling on to the words of a backwards illiterate man 1600 years ago.
In 99% of these cases it goes: Angry apologist: “We don't have any facts yet, stop spreading hate“. *Police confirm that terrorist was originally from a middle-eastern country* Angry apologist: “But we don't know whether the guy was a Muslim or not!!!“ *Police confirm that terrorist was indeed a Muslim* Angry apologist: “He doesn't represent Islam and uses the Quran for his own purposes! Islam is the religion of peace!“
Keep your thoughts on the victims who were celebrating Christmas and are now either dead or without loved ones or legs.
I'm definitely thinking of the victims and their families. I am praying for as minimal casualties as possible.
I'm basically still in the office, first reports said the terrorists were at large, police said to stay home. My hotel is right there. Now it looks like two guys committed this, one is dead, the other one is caught. No official statement yet, but apparently the Polish truck was stolen yesterday, and the two perpetrators look Arabic or Turkish (again, not officially confirmed yet). Have to wait for more facts.
Was really hoping not see a headline like this, especially in Germany, which has taken in so many refugees. I hope it's not the case, but sadly, it won't be surprising if it turns out such a mass influx of them had something to do with this.
