Wait ... why do we connect individual "lone wolf" mass attacks by Muslims, but not individual "lone wolf" mass attacks by non-Muslims?
Would it be legitimate to connect the fact that ISIS attackers use cars to mow people down and the fact that neo-Nazis do as well?
It's an empirical fact that using cars as a weapon is a popular idea in neo-nazi circles, incl pre-Charlottesville propublica.org/article/white-…
The idea of hitting people with cars is such a powerful right wing meme, 6 states have tried to legislate for it: thinkprogress.org/republican-law…
And yet it would be preposterous to draw a line between those lawmakers, neo-Nazis, and the fool who hit people with a truck in NYC.
So if every "lone wolf" non-Muslim attacker is an individual, sick, a-religious murderer, why isn't every Muslim attacker the same?
Asking for humanity.
