First off you said 450 out of 452 terror attacks when your article says suicide bombings. Also of course nearly 100% of all suicide bombinfs are committed by muslim terrorists. That is like saying almost a 100% of all child rapists are pedophiles. The motivation to use suicide is that they go to heaven and get 70 virgins. Almost no one wants to kill themselves when taking out their victims. They will either kill people then kill themselves or Just commit suicide. They don't or can't justify a need to blow themselves up to kill others.

Well -- as the police have not yet issued that it was a Muslim who did the attack, I suspect they are waiting. Yes it was an act of terror, but I don't think there is a formal statement identifying a specific political agenda.

As for Muslims speaking out....you don't hear what you don't want to....

There's more but you aren't going to read them and you will justify somehow that it isn't enough.

Trump calls the killers losers and that's enough......

Then a question for you OP, the young white presumably Christian man who murdered the young, black newly enlisted black man solely because he was black at UMD the other day, was that terrorism? Was Dylan Roof a terrorist too?
Don't presume, know or your argument is invalid.

Also, understand the difference between being OF a religion and committing a crime and that of committing a crime DUE TO that religion.

The kid in the story he mentioned killed his roommates DUE TO his religion.

The biggest problem with Islam is that it teaches violent responses to those who are non-believers or do not hold to it. I challenge you to find where Christianity authorizes such.

Yes and that goes both ways.

Now a Muslim kills his wife in rage and folks will label it a terrorist attack...because it suits their agenda.

To me Dylan Roof was a terrorist attack..he had a political agenda. Yes he was crazy as can be...but I suspect most of the 'suicide bombers' were...youd' have to be to strap a bomb on your back and let it detonate.

A search for "muslim condemnation of manchester" yields about 3,500,000 hits in .78 seconds.

Pretty amazing what you don't see if you don't look for it, huh?

No, actually I want to see the peaceful Muslims band together and destroy the radicals. And they're not doing enough.
