    Islam needs to be deradicalized now, it’s such a well known problem how many radical preachers there are in mosques in Europe

        At the time I wrote it it was just known that he was from Saudi Arabia, and I assumed (maybe wrongly) that he was an Islamist.

        I stand by my comment because most of these types of terror attacks have been carried out by Islamists over the years 🤷‍♂️ and because governments and even Muslims themselves acknowledge radical preachers, funded by foreign states or militias, are a big problem.

      I live in the Baptist south and feel exactly the same way about churches… Get some perspective, drop the bigotry.

        In Europe Christian congregations are really peaceful, for the most part. But that’s my point, no religious organizations should be allowed to breed violent extremism, and the Left has this huge issue of not daring to point out how big the problem is with Muslim congregations (in Europe, compared to other religions).

        No religion should be treated differently here.

        But it turned out the terrorist here was a critic of Islam, that’s my bad for assuming otherwise when reading he’s from Saudi Arabia. I’m sorry for that.
