Is it "wrong" to immediately assume that a terrorist attack was committed by muslims?

    My brother in law is a bosnian muslim not overly devout he doesn't pray or anything but he doesn't eat pork


    he's been butthurt because I told him I doubt the Vegas attack was terrorism (i.e politically/ideologically motivated) because it was some rich white guy, and he does the usual moaning about how if it were a muslim who did it, it would be classified as terrorism right away etc and I was like well ya because numbers don't lie and that seems to be the trend these days

    anyway stuff like that and he seems to be offended over it and I told him to stop being a b----. Who's right here? I'm not a some hick muslim hater and I hate american globalism as much as arabs do but I also think we should be able to speak common sense without muslims and the PC crew crying about it??


    I mean, Barcelona, London, Manchester, Stockholm, Nice, Brussels, Paris, Madrid, 9/11 just to mention the major attacks in the west, when was a muslim attack in the west NOT terrorism? is it bigoted for your initial reaction during an attack to be that; if muslim/arab = terrorism, if white = disgruntled loser? It's just how it is nowadays. if it happened in the 60s in England everyone would automatically assume it was IRA. It's not about hating muslims it's numbers and common sense


    Are we just literally gonna ignore facts for the sake of not offending? In the grand scheme of things, all of this can be traced back western intervention in the arab world. You could even say it's our own fault and we're tasting the karma now. You could take it a step further and say that we're the real 'bad guys'. However that still doesn't change anything I said above

    think its completely fine.

    a 60 yr old white c---- going off the deep end and killing a bunch of people = r-----

    a 20-30 yr old freak inciting terror in western civalization in the name of religion = terrorist

    it is much safer to assume a muslim murdering a bunch of people is likely terrorism as opposed to them just having a mental breakdown and going off the deep end. what's more common? a muslim losing his s--- and massacring people? or a muslim terrorist?

    And as I mentioned in the Vegas thread “terrorism” seems to get thrown around as a adjective by r-----s and that’s where the confusion seems to come from

    Yeah but also, even if a r-----/psycho does a 'terrorist' deed, IS always claims it to scare people even if they didn't have anything to do with it

    The thing is on a personal level there isn’t much difference between these young Muslim men in the West carrying out these isis inspired attacks and people in the U.S going on shooting sprees. Both groups are broken people lost in this world carrying heavy emotional and psychological baggage and seeking some kind of greater good or glory. If you take religion and politics out of the equation, these are all the same “school shooter” type people

    I'm white myself and I'm aware of the stupidity of my race
    Muslim isn't a race is a religion. If he was Arab then it would be different

    Muslims who get offended at people calling something a “terrorist attack” are the religious version of white people who get offended by Dear White People on netflix
