Investigators will sort it out one way or the other</p></blockquote>

Without going all Winger on you I have little faith in any official story from Germany -

The ABC was of course going hard on this angle when I was watching at the gym yesterday. So too was the Norwegian media my wife was following. Apparently it was a Breivik copycat. The BBC also apparently forgot his name was Ali and wrote David.<br><br>
But I get that. The more these incidents occur the harder it is for them to find excuses. They were practically praying for a rightwing extremist. -

Yep they tried pretty hard with this one, now his identity is known well be getting hints about his posdible mental illness , he acted alone and they'll play up the fact he might have been raving about foreigners .<br><br>
But<br><br>
Loretta said the gunman was right behind her but had his back to her, and she later heard him shouting "Allahu Akbar".<br><br>
She said: "I know this because I am a Muslim."<br><br><a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/692434/Munich-shooting-gunman-allahu-akbar-shot-children">http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/692434/Munich-shooting-gunman-allahu-akbar-shot-children</a> -

<p>That's what CNN is running.</p> -
<p>There's a big difference with this one; the attacker is called Ali, not Mohammad.</p>

Last week a woman and two girls were stabbed at a swimming spot for not being dressed modestly enough . <br><br>
when's the next election in Germany? -
<p>And yet I guarantee there will those who still support the migration of these cultures into the west.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ludicrous.</p> -
I apologise for the source, but has anyone else seen this video from Obama? If it had been Bush, Trump et al they would have been absolutely crucified.<br><br>

<p>Absolutely nothing in that. But your point is 100% correct, if that had been Bush or Trump... oh boy.</p> -

<p>"Deliberate" Explosion at a music festival in Ansbach southern Germany. 1 dead 11 injured</p>

<p>Who has been quick to label? I havent seen any reports making any real claims as to motive etc </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did see a report with this</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">The mayor of Aansbach said it was caused by an explosive device, while a spokesman for the Bavarian interior ministry said it appeared to have been intentional.
<p> </p>

Apart from an official source being quoted as saying the explosion was set off deliberately, I'm not sure what the media has done wrong in this instance or what conclusions they've jumped to.
-
<p>Jesus, not another one, this is becoming a weekly occurrence. There will be a tipping point eventually, I just can't see Europeans prepared to accept an endless stream of terrorist attacks without doing something to fight back. </p>
-
<p>The problem is Europe's worried that ze Germans will fight back and next thing you know they're in Paris and on their way to Moscow...</p>
