    France had a huge Colonial Empire in Indochina. Not a single Vietnamese exploded himself on a French market... Colonialism is not the answer...

    Depends on how you do the colonising. Do it on the basis of trade and resource exploitation, and you get blamed for decades afterwards. Kill them all and repopulate with your own people, and you won't have to face terrorism. Although that didn't quite work for the Germans.

    In other news, Hong Kong democrats have asked for a resumption of British rule prior to eventual independence. Damn these imperialists for inculcating terrorists resentful of their historic maltreatment by the colonisers.

    The Arabs never killed everyone and then repopulated the region with their own people.

    At least not systematically or at a large extent. Not sure where you got that from.

    But yeah I agree, we shouldn't blame colonialism. Just a loser with nothing better to do than murdering innocents out of self hatred. In the states, he would have gone in a shooting rampage in a public space.

    edit:

    Yeah ISIS inspired him, giving him an edgy and very public way to say goodbye to the cruel world. maybe he would have continued to beat his wife.
    But that shows that Islam is not he problem. Neither is the cruelty of ISIS. Only their advertisement PR skills.
