imho unfortunately the media hype and political adversaries are doing much to create these attacks as it fits their agenda - a self-fulfilling prophecy.
give some loser/fool a motivation to go out quickly and "be remembered"- they are not pious religious people who follow teachings of their faith with examples of good deeds as others do
last month in nyc when the dui ran into and killed a bunch of folk in nyc- everyone was waiting for some terrorist connection, baited breath- but, nope- dui instead, so it is just as quickly forgotten about
ok, so some crazy nutbars attacked and killed a few good folk, right at about the same time how many ODd from fentanyl ? how many died from cancer, exposure, disease etc ?
it's like someone worrying about an ink-stain on their shirt in a burning house - there are bigger issues endangering all of us and future generations
these losers dont deserve the worlds attention because there will always be someone looking for an excuse to harm someone else for his/her own failings in life- dont reward them thusly
