The shooter at a Munich mall last week who killed 9 and left 27 wounded was an admirer of far right wing Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, and appears to have hated Muslims.
Although David Sonboly was of Iranian heritage, he does not seem to have been a Muslim and appears to have felt no connection to that community.
Iranians are mostly Shiite Muslims who are often victimized by ISIL, so it wasn�t ever very likely that his rampage was inspired by that organization.
The current insistence by politicians and journalists on treating anyone with a drop of Middle Eastern blood as a �Muslim� is frankly racist. After all, millions of people of Christian heritage would now insist that they are not Christians. Why can�t people from Muslim families convert to other things, too? Sonboly appears to have considered himself a Christian or at least a Westerner.
