Did you read the article?

“The suspect is known to police. He is known to us as a member of Islamic circles here in Berlin, and our search for this person is proceeding at full speed,” said police spokesman Florian Nath. He did not identify the suspect by name.

Allegedly a member of Islamic circles. How is that American rot?

    Didn't necessarily mean it like that, I mean the anti lgbtq crusade that seems to be spreading all over the world. I use America as an example because I live there right now and have queer family. I see first hand the systemic discrimination they face. Turning it into a culture war has inspired crime against them all over the world. They just want to live in peace.

    Apples and oranges in this situation. A terror attack in Germany by an Islamic extremist is not the result of culture war in America. Anti-LGBTQ+ violence is a worldwide phenomena.

    I’m a trans person in America. I see it first hand too.
