Honestly it's thinking like this which creates bigger issues though, even if the person is a "muslim" he would still be an extremeist not the same at all as the 99.999999999% of people who practice the faith.

And saying you know who is responsible without knowing is a terrible way to think of the world, you should always know before you start to call out or retaliate.

Because I do know who is responsible​, just like everyone else. There's just the few SJWs who play the waiting game but....we all know, how could we not. I've seen this same thing before.

 

There's a terrorist incident and nobody knows whose done it, people obviously assume it's a Muslim, the odd naive guy says "We should wait to see first because that's just racist etc", then to nobodies at all it a Muslim, rinse and repeat with no difference.

 

It doesn't matter if he's an Extremist, he's still a Muslim. When was the last time a Extremist Buddhist or Sikh killed a bunch of people in a terrorist incident? It doesn't happen.

But it does. In india you will hear all the religions complaing about other religions doing terrorist acts.  Burma buddhist aren't that nice to muslims either but most buddhist say the ones in burma are extremist.  

It is also not about defending or being a SJW but we are talking about Manchester that has a muslim population and probably muslims are also a part of the victims/police officers helping concert goers/Paramedics trying to save lives right now etc..   That's like Norwegians blaming Christians for Breivik's slaughter :s.

Reuters suggests that it's a suicide bombing.

Makes sense. You wouldn't be able to guarantee a timer and most suspect packages would be spotted within half an hr or so at a train station.

Sounds like he's waited for people to come out of the main arena after the concert has finished.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

It happened right as Grande exited stage for the end of the concert, I guess the bomber wanted to enjoy his final hours?

if there was a suicide bomber I think his plan was to wait for the attendees to leave the concert (big clump of people), but he might have been identified as a threat by the staff in the foyer before that could happen

shocking stuff.

Ease off on the religious hate until there is actual news as to who is behind this guys though, could well just be some lone nutjob. Don't presume you know what happened based on bias.

Well, thanks, I came here just to say this. We act like we aren't capable of doing atrocities like this. And we end making assumptions based on hate, bias and fear. Wait until more information comes to blame somebody, please. This is a tragedy, don't turn this intro a freaking religious war. 

No one is saying that but keep your head in the sand if you want. There's a problem and until we admit this and try to fix the situation innocent muslims will be hurt as well. No one wins with this dont blame game.

India is a country with a history of civil war and historical tensions based on civil wars. 

The UK hasn't had anything like that.

there has been women too, most get caught along with the men though. a female terrorist was shot a few months back in the UK



part and parcel of living in a big city, get used to it, it's worth it :)

I wonder where that guy is who says the media shouldn't report terrorism (as the terrorists somehow win in that case). I really want to give him a piece of my mind.

I'm not that guy. But I agree with him to some extent. Actually, look, the idea is to give that organization publicity -right? So, instead why not purposefully give credit to a made up terrorist organization. 

Like instead of saying "It was the work of ISIS." people say, "The terror organization GaysforAllah/Cupcake Lovers Guild/Christianity is No. 1/etc recently bombed blah blah blah" -it kills the terrorists way of getting free publicity while also managing to convey what happened.

How's so? By saying that this attack is 100% sure an islamist attack we're totally assuming that a westerner couldn't possibly have done that. And, boy, I've certainly read posts saying exactly that. But that's BS. So I'm just saying. Wait. For. More. Information. That's it. Don't misinform until anything is proved.
