Yeah, not WAS driven, but HAS driven. Deliberate manipulative framing of the story… Assume every headline you read is propagandizing, parse it out to find the manipulation, and your cynicism will most often be rewarded.

Fuzzy data out now suggests the perpetrator was an Arab partisan infuriated that the German government did not mollycoddle Arab ‘refugees’ to the extent he deemed apposite.
One media outlet claim the perpetrator to be an “ex-Muslim” and “far-right” supporter who was disgruntled at the German government for “Islamising” Germany. The “ex-Muslim” was “Islamophobic”…. So he drove a car into a crowd at a CHRISTMAS market….Not a Ramadan Market… a CHRISTMAS market.
