I don't think you're understanding my point at all. Do you believe it's smart or sensible to presume something before we even have a single fact? That is my point, it is not smart or sensible to presume something before first having the facts, something which Elon Musk and his band of Twitter idiots continue to do to inflame tensions across the globe.

• They presumed the murderer in the UK was an immigrant, it led to riots, they were wrong.
• They presumed the school shooter in America was trans, they were wrong.
• They blamed Scholz for the murderer in Germany, despite him being an AfD/Musk supporter.

We don't presume just because someone isn't white that they are Muslim. We don't presume that just because some woman looks a bit masculine she is trans or that every female shooter is trans because all trans people are psychopaths (According to Republicans). We don't presume that any non-white person is an illegal immigrant. These presumptions are stupid and dangerous and often lead to violence. We also don't presume that all Muslims are violent murderers or all trans people are violent murders or all immigrants are violent murderers.

Disinformation is wrong, it's dangerous and it is being spread often by Musk's Twitter.

In the past 30 years or so, some groups have committed most or all of the events that the majority of public would call terrorism.  It should be no small wonder that this leads to people giving a knee-jerk reaction to news events and casting suspicions upon said groups.  So, not sorry.  

So it's okay to assume everyone who isn't white is a Muslim or an immigrant? Okay to assume every American shooter is trans? Then on top of that, it's okay to assume every murderer is a Muslim/Immigrant/Trans? With zero facts? We just assume things are true nowadays with zero facts, you're saying that's okay? That's how the world should operate?
