"Why is it always a Muslim?" It is not always a Muslim. One of the worst attacks in the United States was carried out in the 1980s by a white, Irish-American ex-military man named Timothy McVeigh. He parked a truck filled with fertilizer bombs in front of FBI headquarters in Oklahoma City and killed 168 people, including children in a child-care center there, and wounded 600 others. He hated government and had one accomplice. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a white man very involved in politics. Shooters at the Aurora theater, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Orlando and Columbine were all white American men, the Dallas shooter was an ex-military black man and the Planned Parenthood killers were all white supposedly Christian men.
