the reason i doubt terror is because it crashed into a mountain and not a city

Well United Flight 93 was a terror event and it crashed in an open field. So anything is possible.

I believe the opposite. Planes suddenly dropping out of the sky or disappearing completely in remote locations - as we've been witnessing lately - would be the the perfect thing terrorists would want. No conclusive evidence to indicate malice; let the public keep guessing, and therefore be afraid to fly. In the meantime, the occasional plane leaves the radar with no reason why. Instill terror and trepidation with no discernible cause. Paranoia. Psychological warfare as a force multiplier.

Exactly. Reason #1.

This is not Moslem MO.

I wish people would stop constantly bandying this as the reason for all ills. Shooting - Moslem. Explosion (most likely) - Moslem. Plane crash - Moslem.

It’s absolutely loony-looking. Leftists will LOVE the unhinged conspiracy theorizing.

Moslems aren’t stupid - they pick great targets, and great means, big splashy showy events - and they take responsibility, even when it is not their particular group. I’m not following this strongly but where are the claims of responsibility?

An average European liner into a mountain in secrecy - yawn. Not Islam. The only way it would be is if the crew/passengers caused problems for the Moslems. And even then there was no show - no “we have a plane” or “Allahu akhbar!” They LOVE showing how they have control.
