Police officer dies after attack at anti-Islam rally in Germany
A 29-year-old police officer died on Sunday after being repeatedly stabbed during an attack at an anti-Islam rally in Germany.
This fails to mention the terrorist was a muslim.
It also fails to mention that the organising group is far right. So maybe it evens out?
I mean, the officer was not killed by a protestor. If you read the title it seems that it was the group's fault
No.
They mentioned a possible Islamist motive. Which is an important distinction to make because the Westboro Baptist Church doing something is not the same as some random Christian doing something.
Also, you're reading France24. Sticking with state media, but this time German, DW has more:
I know he was a Muslim because otherwise he would have been called "mentally ill" rather than a terrorist.
At least they made sure to highlight the rally is anti-muslim. It's just funny following the reporting on the incident so far, as everyone saw the video, how obvious is the bias and tiptoeing around the fact that this was a religiously motivated attack against "anti-islam" activists. But due to the mental gymnastic that does not fit the narrative of doctors and engineers migrants.
The people the guy attacked were Nazis. They are not anti-Islam activists, they are Nazis. This is not an anti-Muslim rally, this is a Nazi rally.
Violence is always wrong, and so is your dogwhistling.
I think the word "terrorist" is not a good word here. It was a mentally ill individual with an unknown motive.
Id argue that almost every terrorist is mentally ill.
He was a muslim who attacked an anti-islamic rally. Seems like a pretty clear motive to me.
Because the reasons are the last thing you should report on in a terrorist attack?
Getting their word out is literally the entire reason they did a terrorism, publicizing that info is literally assisting the terrorists.
As far as responsible reporting should be concerned, all terrorists are of the same cloth, scum, and they can all die mad together about all being seen as the same.
Its a very specific cloth theyre cut from, and that cloth has made it clear what the plan is. I feel like noting its muslim is part of reporting the news.
The way it reads now is victim blaming.
