I am watching BBC news. Death toll at 11. Perp has been arrested; a Saudi Arabian aged 50 that has been living in Germany since 2006. He is a doctor. Believed to be a lone wolf -- at least that is what the Germans are saying.

Lone wolf? Talk about burying one’s head in the sand.

Loonerd has the live now.
A doctor from Saudi Arabia, who was a permanent resident may be the perp.

Jihadist or not? That was the first question that came to mind.

He was originally from Saudi Arabia. It’s highly unlikely that he is not Muslim.

Dumb question. By his very actions the mudslime is a jihadist. Next you'll be asking "Was it rape rape or just rape?"

It's almost like some sort of "mid-life crisis" --

"Hey, I'm a doctor! I ought to be happy. But I'm not. This doctor stuff is stressful and it doesn't make me happy. I should make a change. Maybe I ought to buy a little convertible and chase young women. That might be good. But ... wait a minute ... I'm a Muslim ... I should go on jihad and just kill random people. That's the ticket."

I have not seen a mention of the background of the attacker. Could it be the Amish again?

Every Muslim is a moderate. Until he isn’t.

And as a side note, here’s why there are no Muslim terror attacks in Hungary.
