Not really... Islamic terrorism in the west is purely political and caused by the west interfering...

Yep.

With or without Iraq terrorism would've carried on.

You'd literally have to go back to before the Ottoman empire to fix this shit. I mean the problems 'they' have are with governments in their region.

I strongly disagree with this. Zooming in on the Balfour Declaration would probably be more useful.

The very aggressive and invasive policies of the West in the Middle East during the last century could be rightly cited as the firm root of the current problems imo.

Everyone interviewed says he wasn't religious. Is there any evidence you know of that suggests otherwise?

His wife / ex wife said he visited a Mosque in April ? and his phone showed he had been in contact with known terrorist affiliated (although could be coincidental).

He's also being portrayed as a loner, with little contact with his ex. If he did become radicalised they think it was over a short period of time. The investigation is on going though

When's the last time you visited a Mosque ?, not something I've done to be fair.

It would be best if all media just said IS had little or nothing to do with it.

afaik he wasn't doing the (multi) daily prayers at home either (never did when he was married) so the loner thing doesn't suggest he avoided mosque but was still religious. but i have to emphaize that i don't really know what this guy was about. still apparently people who are willing to do this violence for whatever reason are drawn to the idea of a reason that they think will make them look better (again according to people who study these people).

perhaps if you were Muslim.

Is that a by-the-way-just-curious question or are you trying to make a point? If the latter, replace "mosque" with church and re-evaluate the question.

It's kinda hard when they're claiming responsibility to be fair.



The guy was obviously fucked up though, when I read the report about him having Psychosis that would probaly be the bigger factor in all this. But I think a better question would be, do we think he would've killed IF he has been in contact / radicalised by someone like IS ?

1) They are speaking for a dead man. Did he actually say anything of the like.

2) To answer your better question I think clearly the answer is yes. (assuming you meant to say hadn't)

Aye, I only sit on the side of caution because there isn't much to say this attack was religiously motivated. I havn't seen anything that said he was apart of any extremist groups or protests ?. I think the only connection to ISIS is ISIS themselves and I seen his wife mentioned he started visiting a mosque in April.

I did, but he could've just as easily sought help.

He was Tunisian? Do you know the first thing about Tunisia?

To agree he was Tunisian *but not religious* suggests only 2 things:
* He falls into a narrow 2% (noooope)
* He was coerced into joining the nonsecular majority of that country

I don't know what it begins to suggest if the second option is what you're proposing.

I just think there's a problem with pointing to religion when you have people like Omar Mateen specifically referencing wars of aggression (invasion of Afghanistan) which let's face it are a legitimate grievance even though i believe more violence isn't a solution.

It's how everyone finds their religion.

Religion is a tool for hidden motives, same for everyone.

Religion targets someone and caters its beliefs to your views, it's what they mean by finding your religion imo, it aligns with your views.

It's how Scientology fleece your for money n all, ya'll expecting front seats with God or forever be graced with fortune. Still a motive.

OK give me an example of a religion that doesn't offer a reward ?

The guy driving the truck was openly bisexual and non religious. So why is this supposed to be Islamic terrorism?... Oh cuz the west and fake ISIS says so... Got it... ...
