NSW Police Commissioner said the gunman acted alone and that he is of Iraqi/Kurdish descent.
The only reason righties are crying “Terrorism! Terrorism!” is because the teenager committing the murder is a Muslim.
"The teenager, a naturalised Australian who arrived with his family from Iran, had walked to the police headquarters in Charles Street from his home in North Parramatta before opening fire on a civilian police employee." -

That's absolutely correct.
However, Islamophobes are a very strange bunch.
They actually believe that all terrorists are Muslims, and that all Muslims are terrorists.
Deep down, that's honestly what they believe.
How can one have a rational discussion with people who have such a warped sense of reality?
Anyway, there are two points that need to be made:
1. Hitherto, no official report has determined this as an act of terrorism.
2. Nobody here has said that it
isn't an act of terrorism.
Those of us with a reasonable, sound mind are waiting for all of the information to come in.
Those consumed with irrational fear and hatred - the Islamophobes - will make their own uninformed decisions based on bigotry and ignorance, and nothing any sane person says to them will change their minds.
