Any chance the Somali was an Atheist? An ex-Muslim? A Christian? Or a Jew? Or a Buddhist? Or an African White Supremacist? Anything but a Muslim?


There is, but the police have already stated they suspect Islamic terror as a motive.
So... small chance.

Well, we have a stabbing of an MP, a loon with bow and arrow, the memorial of Paty, an ISIS attack and some very worrying displays of muslims rejoicing that a cartoonist died.

Not a good time for muslim PR.

The pfizer/biontech covid vaccine, made by a German team led by muslim immigrants, was a bit of a succes story IMO.

For a lot of people it was, for a lot of people it wasn't.

Either way, since the 80s, muslims have had bad PR.

I can't work out why. I think it must be something to do with the various terrorist attacks and attempted terrorist attacks committed by islamists.

They did, but don't anymore, because Irish Republicans very rarely perpetrate terrorist attacks anymore.

Because most people are not in Ireland and there are very few Irish people.
Negative experiences with muslims otoh are almost univeral because they are everywhere.

Also: the Irish make an effort to be liked. Muslims in general do not.

The casual observer could be forgiven for thinking you're a parody account.

As someone who knows better, I merely think that you actively seek to embarrass yourself in threads involving the deaths of prominent figures; a theme which you seem oddly obsessed by.

Just about everyone makes an effort to be liked. The problem is you're comparing a religion to a nationality.

They still very rarely perpetrate terrorist attacks, and the ones that they do usually fail.

Very true. You haven't ever had Irish republicans, as bad as they are, travelling half the world away to murder hundreds in a coordinated assault on a city.

Nor do large groups of Irish people stage huge protests or make threats in foreign nation when their way of life isn't bowed down to.

If we're going down the road of "who commits more terrorism" (which is off topic here), then I'd like to point out that, in America at least, most terrorism is perpetrated by the far right, not Muslims.
