Religious zealotry is a form of mental illness anyway. You could argue that all religious belief is in some way or another.

This is Digitalspy, of course it's the first thing people think about.
And you'll be able to smell the disapointment in the air if it isn't a Muslim. |

It could have been a full German national who carried out the attack |

What i find incredible is how calm everyone is. Don't mean it in a bad way, btw
What is odd is that many people say they could not cope if they saw an accident when, in reality, when confronted with an awful situation, cope admirably! |

You think that Islamic terrorists' aim is to gaud people into "kicking Muslim ass"?

Yes, they want a holy war aka jihad

Islamic terrorism is jihad, isn't it? I don't think that, as Tony suggested, they do this in order that other Muslims get their asses kicked though.

The driver would probably be assessed and regarded as having mental problems.
Twitter and FB will be ordered by German government to delete all offensive comments. |

Think the initial reaction is to flee although many may have thought it was initially just an accident. Others tend to see the injured around them and stop to help, their own fears being overridden by seeing so many injured people in need of help. Others may simply be in shock and wandering aimlessly around.
What is odd is that many people say they could not cope if they saw an accident when, in reality, when confronted with an awful situation, cope admirably! It,s probably only afterwards, they realise the extent of the situation they were in. |

When will we be able to figure out what the hell is going on? Will it take a long while?

Yes I do, for the reason that I already stated.
See what I mean Joe, I'm not a lone thinker. Probably not, but what a publicity coup for them when it does happen, they must love it. |

The dead passenger has been confirmed as Polish, the man under arrest is either Pakistani or Afghani.

Whether you are a 'lone thinker' is irrelevant. I'm still baffled as to why you'd think that what (some) Muslims want is for other Muslims to suffer.
and Isis, Al-Quaeda, the multitude of other Islamic terror groups targeting muslims all over the globe in Africa, The Middle East, Indonesia for the last decade and more. ![]() On a smaller scale the muslim guy who drove to Scotland to murder the "other" muslim guy because he was the wrong sort of muslim. |

The BBC really are starting to grate, they are literally becoming a meme - lorry kills 9 at Christmas market. An articulated lorry has ploughed into a busy Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say.
Not even entertaining the notion it's a terrorist attack, blaming the lorry. |

No it won't, but if and when normally law abiding Germans unlawfully, but understandably, crack and begin to kick Muslim ass because of this, it plays well to the folks back home, who are told, "see, this is what the West does to our brothers and sisters, come get measured for your suicide vest, or take HGV driving lessons."

"There are "growing indications" that the arrested lorry driver is Pakistani, Welt reports (in German).
Berlin police have made no public comments on the claim. " http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-europe-38370364 |

How easy it is to hijack a lorry with just a gun. Wait until the lorry stops stop, shoot the driver push him off the driver's seat. and just take to lorry. Probably more effective than a bomb, it is frightening. This could have been a petrol tanker.

Why do people need to know everything immediately? These things take time and need to be handled correctly. |

Yes what about it, so far you haven't shown any compassion for the victims of this attack, all you've done is to try and deny it was one.
As for me not showing any compassion, I assure you that I feel for those who have been affected. Nine people are most certainly dead and 50-odd more are injured. Regardless of whether this was deliberate it's pretty shocking. I thought that went without saying. Apparently not. I haven't once denied that this was a terrorist attack, by the way. Not once. You have obviously misunderstood. |
