This headline is about "young men". No skin color or ethnicity is specified. But have you noticed that when those Muslim attacks happen, societies mobilize and often the results are wars? The US has spent several trillions of dollars fighting Islamic extremism (not to mention the costs of law enforcement focusing on this at the expense of white collar crime, etc) when the data clearly show that white male extremism is by far a bigger threat today. Would you rather we spend money on a war against these extremists, or would you rather we think about and discuss the systemic forces that lead to these results?

"would you rather we think about and discuss the systemic forces that lead to these results?" Why wasn't this question asked every time the media screamed "terrorist attack" when muslims were involved? I agree with you, but my question is why now? better than never? I'm only drawing attention to the systemic racism that you're advocating for society to look into. It can't be more clear when we suddenly wake up after the attackers turn out to be white.
