Mere Islam -- Not ISIS, Refugees, or Extremism -- Terrorized Munich

A German-born 18-year-old of Iranian descent named Ali Sonboly went on a shooting spree last Friday. He reportedly targeted young children, and a number of adolescents were among the nine he murdered.
This incident is a reminder that the ongoing terrorization of the West is not limited to the Islamic State (“ISIS”), “extreme” Wahhabi or Salafi interpretations of Islam, or terrorists posing as refugees entering the West.
Ali Sonboly was none of those things. He was born and raised in Germany and, based on his name and Iranian heritage, was most likely of Shia background.
