   Look at this bullshit on #Wikipedia. No mention of the fact that multiple prominent ex-Muslim activists have pointed out that the attacker was likely to be faking his anti-Islam stance. He was privately harassing and threatening them.
   
   And why would he imitate a well-known Islamist terror attack from 8 years ago, driving amok into a Christmas market, if he was anti-Islam? Makes total sense.
   
   There's a high chance that he was in fact a covert Islamist, but Wikipedia as well as the mainstream media do not even mention this as a possibility.
   
   Thank you, Wikipedia and MSM, for further making the far right feel justified and vindicated in their conspiratorial mindsets. I'm sure this will not at all lead to more people moving politically to the right. It's not as if people are sick and tired of shameless lies, propaganda, and misrepresentation.
   
   If anyone reading this is feeling themselves moving politically to the right because of this: Please know that alternatives exist. Even many "radical leftist" communities are against this kind of disingenuous liberal nonsense. The "liberal elite" as it were does not represent true leftist politics.

     @Gnomeshatecheese I haven't followed it closely. It is also possible that he was simply a nutcase lashing out at anyone. In any case there's a lot of uncertainty from what I can tell but the media loves latching on to their favored narrative.

     multiple prominent ex-Muslim activists have pointed out that the attacker was likely to be faking his anti-Islam stance. He was privately harassing and threatening them.

     Is there new definitive info on this conclusion?

     I have heard he was being abrasive and even aggressive towards ex-muslims, but is there something to show he was faking being anti-islam, rather than actually being anti-islam, but also a nutcase lashing out at anyone he came in contact with?

     @taylan They certainly do. Hence I was hoping you might've come across something novel to me.

     This sounds like a very messy case, and as someone in a comment section pointed out, multiple things can be true at once.
     I rather suspect we may never get a proper clear answer to this, unless the perpetrator makes a clear, public statement (where "clear" might also include "clear nutcase").
