    It's a defense mechanism. He doesn't want anyone to realize he is autistic so he attacks those whom he perceives are. :)

    You’re still painting with a broad brush. Not all Muslim extremists are Muslim terrorists. And not all Muslim terrorists are responsible for the attack. We need to make sure the Muslims who haven’t attacked anyone feel welcome coming to our countries

    I would say that extremists are more likely to become terrorists. Thankfully across the planet there will always be more good guys than bad guys, so being optimistic about human behavior in general is always a smart bet.

    We can do without the extremisis and terrorists. And what exactly do you mean by "our" countries?

    The phrasing in the article means they were worshiping ON Easter. Seems plain to me.

    By that logic (and given my location do realise I'm not just playing a semantics game here) one should well look at fundamentalists of any religion. Really can't help but reiterate we've had far more deaths here to Christian terrorists than Muslim ones.

    So it turns out this was revenge for the mosque bombings in an entirely different country.
    Religion has no logic.

    isn't a crepe just a fancy pancake? I've never ate them, just going off what I heard.

    They're a slice of heaven distilled into the form of a foodstuff.

    Well, the proper ones are. Don't assume that applies to the ones in your local convenience store, that's like comparing roule or wensleydale with the cheese slices MacDonalds use.

    They're best if they're so thin you can read thru them.
