the far-right AfD, in second place in polls, focused on the suspect's legal status in Germany.

The relevant issue.

There is something deeply wrong with a people who tolerate such ongoing murderess barbarism against its own citizens.

This type of murderous attack is becoming a regular occurance. All perpetrators are followers of a certain religion and were born outside of Germany.

German car attack may have been religiously motivated,

And by "religiously" they mean Islamic.

Yet another Afghan " refugee" murdering those from his and of course it is always a male, adopted country.

German authorities say the Afghan national arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied minor...

This is the norm for many "asylum" seekers. They arrive without any documentation and claim to be under 18. The onus is on the authorities to prove they are really adults.

Being a minor has a great advantage.

may?

Best to wait and see. Very possibly religiously motivated ( religion does derange people ).

Still, ‘’may’ is the best word. We’ve had many hysterical handles jumping the gun on events like this and embarrassing themselves.

Best approach it like grown-ups.

Munich's lead prosecutor is an adult, and does not appear to be making hysterical statements and is not waiting and seeing, and instead made quite a definitive statement that this was a religiously motivated attack (will save you from looking this up on Tik Tok--Islam is a religion):

"I'm very cautious about making hasty judgements, but based on everything we know at the moment, I would venture to speak of an Islamist motivation for the crime," Tilmann said.

Yes, so he’s not 100 sure which was my point.

There have been hysterical handles here on here jumping the gun and getting it wrong.

50/1 on knowing what your point is.

Oh, now you are shifting from "may" to "not 100% sure"?

Well, for me, "based on everything we know" is closer to 100% than "may" is.

Even without knowing anything, one could have said "may"--because anything would be possible.

But this prosecutor is making a more definitive statement. If he meant "may", then he would have said "may". Or "might".

So you agree the likelihood of this being religiously motivated is highly likely, more than just likely?

50/1!

Hopefully the people of Germany will elect a government to implement moves to make Germany safe and remove these "dangerous" elements.
