Terrorist attack in Stockholm, Sweden

At least two dead. Truck driving into people. Our prime minister has called it a terrorist attack.

    It's just too easy. It's quite scary.

    Has it been reported what motivated this terrorist?

    Meets a lot of hallmarks:
    1: Not concerned with loss of own life (possible martyrdom?)
    2: Targeted crowded place with no specific concern of who they were killing (did not target race, government, any specific groups, just going for a kill count).
    3: Used a trending preferred method seen recently by a...specific group.
    Not going to say this is logic is conclusive, but it does meet some specific premises tied to certain ideologies.

    Prayers to all those effected by this.

    Lol

    Get ready for the apologist attack. Prepare for the following questions and subsequent points and you might be able to hold your own:

    Do you know how many people die from mosquitoes each year? A few deaths from terrorism is nothing.
    Do you know how many people practice the religion of peace... peacefully? These events are outliers.
    Do you know that in 1995 Timothy McVeigh blew up a building in Oklahoma? There's just as much Christian terrorism as Islamic terrorism.

    Why are you scared to say Islamic extremists or ISIS? Are you still labouring under the false impression that there are people who aren't willing to admit there is an Islamic extremist/ISIS terrorism problem going on or are apologists for it? (Looks like you're kind of stuck under the same mistaken premise Thirty. Amazing how many people have misread the issue).

    Your own thread saw this comment by a very well-versed contributor: "Drop the word "Islamic" from in front of terrorism and just condemn all "terrorism." Something some people only seem to be outraged by, which is when it's conducted by "islamists" or in the name of "Islam." "

    I'm not mistaking anything, Soul. But for you to make the comment you did shows how carelessly you discern the perspectives tossed about on this issue. Not everyone is as eager as you to concede the problem for what it is and it's relevancy in our world's current state of affairs.
