Surprised there has been nothing mentioned here today on this barbarism.

Sadly I think we're growing accustomed to these sorts of things.

Horrid attack overnight on what was basically a youth / child crowd.

We all know the protocol by now -
1. This has nothing to do with Islam.
2. The guy was a mentally ill 'lone wolf'.
3. Those who object to points 1 and 2 are racist bigots.
4. Change Facebook profile to flag of inflicted country.
5. Light some candles, hold a vigil and go on a peace march.
6. Wait for the next slaughter to happen.
7. Repeat

Whether you accept the points or not, it is a deeply political characterisation. I'm not going to argue the points because this thread is not for that.

Radicalised Islamists aren't interested in politics, sad that you can't open your eyes to what is happening and rather than live with it, do something about it.

I'd argue that you have pushed your political agenda more than he did. I failed to see the politics, yet you did.
