Breaking News on TV just now that's there been a (possible) terrorist attack in Munich. In the Olympia Einkauf Zentrum (Olympia Shopping Centre). At least ten dead, possibly fifteen. It's near the Olympic Stadium where Bayern Munich used to play.
There's been police cars flying past my house with sirens blazing for the last half hour or so.
Quite scary, as I used to shop there a lot.
They're saying that it's more than one shooter as well. What goes through these people's minds?
Paris, Brussels, Nice and now Munich. Looks like they're targeting major cities.

Gemany, Munich in particular, has been fantastic in terms of the number of refugees it has taken in so far from the troubles in Syria and Iraq. IF it is an Islamic Extremist attack, It doesn't make any sense to attack a country doing so much for people of your fellow religion.
These so-called Islamic extremsts have no regard for Muslims or any other faiths. Their barbaric acts defy any link with religion.Quote:

In actual fact, the north-west of the city (where the shootings happened) has a very high percentage of people from the middle east and Turkey, so any victims of the shooting could just as easily be Muslims as anybody else.
Tragically, being kind doesn't stop one being "kuffar".Quote:

I think that's why they target these places. They don't want harmony, they want division.Quote:

Actually, they have no regard for the wrong kind of muslims, with different groups having different standards and preferences. Left to their own devices, there would only be one person left in the world – the indisputable "true muslim".Quote:

I'm not sure if it was reported in the UK but there was an attack on a train on northern Bavaria earlier in the week, with four people injured. Some crazy guy apparently influenced by IS online propaganda was responsible. That's kinda raised suspicions.
That was on the news here as well.Quote:

That's apparently the number of INJURED reported so far, though it's unclear exactly how many are actually dead (but one definite)

He already had 'issues' and became obsessed with watching online propaganda.
A few muslims killed in Nice. Loads in Iraq and Syria slaughtered by Isis.Quote:

Media saying there is 3 gunmen and a co-ordinated attack

Any in Nice - collateral damage, "going to Jinna anyway". Those in Syria/Levant - the wrong kind of muslims plus gays, apostates and other "criminals".Quote:

I think that's the crux of the problem. You have to have some form of psychotic imbalance to even contemplate gunning down innocent people for some kind of nutty cause. Doesn't mean that all people with mental health issues are potential killers though. I like everyone else get angry, but it needs to be a special kind of anger that's slow cooking to allow someone to go and do something like this in a premeditated way. My thoughts are with the victims.Quote:

Not saying anyone did mate. Just thought it's worth mentioning though. Stay safe.Quote:

Sitting at home watching DVDs now and decided to stay here until these guys have been caught
According to the Mirror, one attacker shouted "***** foreigners" before attack.

Impossible to say. We all thought the breivik attack was al qaeda at first.Quote:
