Who else is non-PC and was curious about the ethnicity of the attacker?

Perhaps the attacker was a 10th-generation white native, but I still want to know.

No need to ask, we all know ........ Arab Muslim background as usual.

Yes, we'' ll have the usual hand wringers protesting, but in the end someone will leak the truth.

Police spokesman Hanspeter Kruesi said the suspected attacker, who used flammable liquid to start the fire, was a Swiss national and not of immigrant background.

Should of set him on fire and watch him burn

We will have to wait to find out the attackers motivation. Some are caught in the morass of right wing PC where if an attacker is not identified as Islamist it's a coverup conspiracy. In the meantime there are some truly sick individuals posting in this forum.

Has it? I remember a week back, the embers were still red in the tragic fire in France that claimed the lives of 13 young people, and certain TV worthies were declaring that they had been 'blown apart'.

 

Much like the desperation to try to attribute the London murder the week prior to Islam, they must have been sorely disappointed to learn that it was simply a tragic accident.

There are 60 murders per day across Europe, and virtually all are unrelated to terrorism. As christianity is the predominant religion in the EU, we can, by your logic, justifiably discuss the horrific murder toll perpetrated by white christians, which far outstrips those committed by muslims.  White christians are clearly the real threat to Europe.

 

White people on a killing spree don't have the agenda of oppression that the Muslim murders all have.

Muslims want to kill/oppress/molest me because I'm a single/independent/liberated/educated woman, and it isn't some of them ..... it's all of them.

Complete nonsense. For a female claiming to be "liberated" you appear to be amazingly uninformed on the nature of white male mass murder of families and others.

How many hours since the attack and still no name for the attacker. All we know is he is a Swiss national apparently and not of an immigrant background. The motive is of course a mystery, though some initial reports have tried to mix it up a bit speculating on a crime of passion instead of mental health. 

 

Of of course a crime of passion, he passionately attacks seven people on a train with a knife and flammable liquid, presumably so as many people as possible can witness the spectacle. Using an m/o repeatedly used by Islamist terrorists, no doubt he has a passion for making people jump to the wrong conclusions too.

Ridiculous. How many of theses 60 murders are committed BECAUSE the perpetrator was Christian? Zero

It has no relevance. 

 

But SOME Muslims in Europe and across the word are killing people of ALL faiths just because their religion is different and apparently it would greatly please their God! 

 

This is a massive problem that cannot be swept under the PC carpet.

 

 

[dunroaming]

Unbelievable!  Nothing to do with being PC, the man was Swiss and no link to any terrorist organisation.  To instantly try to spin this to be Islamic shows just how blinkered people want to be.

They also made the comment that the perpetrator has a "common Swiss name".

 

There are still 2 caveats:

- "immigrant background" has an official legal definition in Germany and Switzerland and the definition is not covering every case common sense would label as "immigrant background". For example, a Swiss person born abroad whose parents are a foreigner and a Swiss person born is Switzerland would not count as a person with "immigrant background".

details here: http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index/themen/01/07/blank/key/06/05.html

- "common Swiss name": Swiss administration knows "Vorname" (=first name) and "Name" (=surname)... so when speaking German, one can say without lying that a person named "Mustafa Bühler" has a common Swiss name.

 

More seriously, the name of the perpetrator is of high public interest, I think it is simply wrong to hold back that information.

Is it correct that until a person is charged with an offence/s their name is not released to the media?

[JImH2O]

What's the ethnic and religious background of this "SWISS" guy? Why isn't that being mentioned?

[Grouse]

Quite sensibly, they want to starve the perpetrator and backers of the oxygen of publicity.

 

The details will surface eventually

[Opl]

The assailant, a young Swiss man ( aged 27)  and one of his victims, a woman (34)  died this sunday morning from their injuries, police said.

It is in the UK, unless there are operational reasons for so doing such as aiding the location and arrest of a suspect. In cases where a suspect is already in custody the police will not release their name until charged. Although if the media discover it by some other means the police will confirm.

 

I see no reason to think it's any different in Switzerland or any other European country; but no doubt if it is not the same someone will tell us.

As the suspect is under arrest identifying details do not at this stage need to be released in order to locate and apprehend him.

 

However, they have said he is a Swiss national and not from an immigrant background.

 

Doubtless all these details will be released when he is charged, as will his motivations for carrying out this terrible attack when the police discover them.
