Your comments about this article:
Perhaps these men should deal more intensively with the crime, where the perpetrator to have a Muslim background.
No week passes in which one can recognize that the offender often has an immigrant background.
When was the last time a Budist organization blew up a building?
When was the last time the Catholic church set off a car bomb?
And just for you conspiracy nuts I will add one more thing to the lst.
And when did they public brag about it and celebrate in the streets over it?
When an organization commits random acts of violence on civilian populations we call them terrorist and it is hard for some of us to distinquish the ones committing the violence from those that call for the violence and those that celebrate the violence.
Compromise and serious non-bias conversation will be more beneficial.
Being held hostage by religious and political self-interest racist groups, originations and their ancient stories and cultural folklore is counterproductive.
The German parliament has demonstrated it is open to negotiations with other political, religious hate groups, extremists, Middle East rouge States and other self interest minority groups? Why not negotiate with the German Muslim coordination council?

And when Buddhist Japanese were carrying out the Rape of Nanking, suiciding themselves against American ships, and generally being evil, that obviously meant that everyone in the Buddhist "organization", from Tokyo to Lhasa to Kathmandu were EQUALLY guilty and worthy of suspicion. We should have been watching those Tibetan monks to see if they were about to launch the next evil empire!
Islam is a religion and a way of life to many followers it is a religion of peace, forgiveness and mercy.
When some asked the famous writer William Faulkner what he thought about Christianity, he replied " I think it is a great religion to bad we never practiced it."
but
The majority of Muslims are peaceful and we are judging all Islam on the radicalized ,and some of these people wish it would stop.

The head of the World Hindu Council was so mad at the film he said "We will attack cinemas if necessary."
Hindus have massacred Christians, Buddhists and Muslims in India repeatedly. The Hindu extremists get particularly enraged by converts from Hinduism, a popular pathway for the "untouchables" who can escape the foul, discriminatory lives forced upon them by Hindu's caste system by changing their religion (the caste system is the reason so many Muslims exist in India - they converted to avoid the awful life belonging to the wrong caste forced upon them).
