Here is the post I responded to

You haven't explained your bafflement in any way except to repeatedly state you were responding to Tony's post. So let's look at Tony's posts you keep referring to.
Here are Tony's posts:

In his terms he is describing exactly what I described earlier about ISIS' stated goal of causing conflict between The West ("law abiding Germans") and the many Muslims living peaceably in The West and to use that conflict as a recruiting tool.
You then responded with:

”
which missed the actual point of Tony's post. (I assume you meant goad when you said gaud). Tony responded to you with:
"
Probably not, but what a publicity coup for them when it does happen, they must love it.". Again alluding to the stirring up conflict to destabilize and radicalize.
Tony wasn't talking about this one attack as you state, he was alluding to the whole campaign of terror in Europe being used as a way of radicalizing disaffected Muslims.
Tony never mentioned in those posts "some muslims wanting other muslims to suffer" you did, you brought it up. I responded to you bringing it up by pointing out the many many occasions over the last 20 years or so that specific factions of Islamic fundamentalists have indeed gone out of their way to ensure "other muslims suffer".
