In 2013, Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein was put into jail for attacking someone on a commuter train in Copenhagen. This attack was random and Mr. Hussein thought that his victim was going to try to kill him.
Mr. Hussein apparently has had a drug problem in the past but recently after killing two strangers and wounding five police officers the view point on Mr. Hussein has become very different. He allegedly was posting some hateful posts on Facebook shortly before the attacks he had committed. He has no self-proclaimed himself as a jihadist.
As sad as this is there should be justice for these people. The part of him and his religious affiliations could be important but why does it have to be the highlight of every news saying that people in Islam are so violent?
Christians are too. Jews are too. Every single person in a religion has had some sort of violence against them, or have caused it. Right now the highlight is on Islam saying they are all "terrorists".
It is not fair to put this sort of blame on a whole religion. Yes, there are so people who are in the Islam religion who are very violent and who did kill in Allah's name; but why does this have to be the title to everything?
If a Christian man killed someone it wouldn't be, "Christian man killed three strangers in the name of God". No, it wouldn't and that is what bothers me about media. It is so easy to put the blame on someone other than yourself. In defense, there has been many shootings in Denmark by jihadists lately.
Don't get me wrong, this is a horrible thing and nobody should have died and maybe he is a terrorist, I personally do not know. But this type of incidents are happening everywhere and the second it becomes maybe a religious affiliation something way bigger comes out of it.
