This was a lone gunman objecting to racial attacks and bullying. Just to put it into perspective, America - which is roughly the same size as Europe - has an attack like this, where four or more people are killed or injured, every day. Europe's attacks are more dramatic but far fewer people are losing their lives.

It looks like the Munich situation was a kid with a grudge. No ties to religion at all, apparently.

He had a great interest in Anders Breivik and mass shootings, apparently.

Anders Behring Breivik hade a political agenda. This David S. does not seem to have one. But it cannot be a coincidence that these murders happened exactly 5 years after ABB:s killing of 77 people. David's agenda might be revenge, b/c he was bullied in school. His neighbours say that they never saw him with around with friends; he was alone or with his father.
Even if these killings took place in a mall, they seem like the school shootings in Erfurt 2002 and in Winnenden 2009. David S. was especially interested in mass shootings. He owned the book by psychologist Peter Langman: "Amok im Kopf - Warum Schüler töten" (I don't know the English title).

Nearly a hundred years? The roots go right back to the Crusades.

Sorry that was in response to Steve - I'd not seen the second page.

And the British Raj charging round the world - Muslim and otherwise - taking over and oppressing the residents?

But not the Crusades.
British misrule in the Indian subcontinent is a much larger subject. But I don't see any Indian or Pakistani terrorists, except sections of the Taliban that have migrated from Afghanistan.

It looks like the Munich situation was a kid with a grudge. No ties to religion at all, apparently. I hear on the news the kid had depression and anxiety. :-( A few days before that, a kid his age attacked people with an axe and a knife on a train. He apparently had been "converted" by the IS.

It was not just the Indian subcontinent that the British took over
