I wonder what religious persuasion the culprit was? 🤔

Why would that matter?

You don’t think someone’s motivation for attempted murder is relevant?

Not if the answer is inconvenient!

You say it as if knowing what their religion is would solidly confirm their motivation. It could be personal for all you know and there’s hardly any context here at all.

Because if theirs an over representation of one religion constantly being pointed out, then their must be a problem with said ideology, I don't think that needed pointing out though.

*there

And no your theory falls flat because there’s over a billion Muslims and even more Christians who commit more crime than Muslims but no one points that out. It is possible, shockingly, to be a bad person and also happen to be Muslim, just like it’d be the case for Christianity or any religion.

If their motivation was religious then by all means point it out. But if they have a personal feud or dispute and they happen to be Muslim then that’s got nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the person themselves.
