This just shows your bias, your two-facedness, inconsistency.
Sorry if I pointed to it.
WHHAAAT? Where did he say - verified - that his motivation was a
Christian world-view? Stalin is not called a "Christian terrorist," though he was raised Christian and his goal was breaking a cultural and political system. Ditto so many revolutionaries. Religion is not the common denominator of all psychopaths. If someone perpetrates an act of terror out of fundamental Christina beliefs, they would be called a "Christian terrorist." If someone does so out of fundamental Islamic beliefs, then they are an "Islamic terrorist." Somehow I feel the basic constructs of English and how adjectives work has revealed a desire to make a political point instead of an intellectual or symantic point.
Also, the quote you bring up is, and I have already encountered it on fringe web-sites, entirely un-attributed as of yet to any solid source. So far, appears to be dis-information and your desire to repeat it w/o sourcing it indicative of the same.
Fringe websites? The British media. The Guardian, Daily Telegraph...fringe?
The terrorist had a plan, he wanted to change the system, he wanted to do something so everybody would remember him. He woke up to nightmares screaming 'we are going down'. Alps were his passion, he learned flying gliders over Alps. He killed 149 people there. He should have jumped down Golden Gate Bridge where he posed smiling before. He did not have the right to kill people. Some of his victims were Muslim immigrants to Germany.
Do you mean prerequisite for being a terrorist is being Muslim or claiming being one?
Nobody calls this poor troubled person terrorist. That is the problem to face. The media is trying to find excuses for his act. Sickness, depression, loss of his love etc. I do not remember seeing this effort shown towards 9/11 hijackers/terrorists. The only explanation is Andreas was not Muslim. One journalist asked the prosecutor about his religion. If he claimed being a Muslim do you HONESTLY think the conversation would be the same????
