    I think it's just as likely that this murder was planned by radical Islamists to foment anger/reprisals as anything else.

    If I get shot walking to Mcdonalds does it make it unsafe to walk to Mcdonalds?

    If it can be used to push a political narrative? Yes.

    I think this still might be an act of terrorism. If a radical Muslim targets a Muslim preaching peace - that's a disturbing trend for sure. We really need to figure out a way to strengthen Muslims who are working hard (and risking their lives) to create a better world instead of demonizing all of them.

    You can't explain it because you don't know how to explain it but that's okay. Everyone has a bad day.

    I don't need to explain it. I know the statistics on hate crimes and the groups affected. Strangely, McDonald's patrons aren't on the list. Good luck with that.
