Should this attack really be included in this template? The attacker's motive was racism, not necessarily just islamophobia.
The attack happened at a school and not in a mosque. His prime targets were immigrants regardless of their religious affiliations. Shellwood (talk) 15:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, everyone. I recently removed some of the incidents listed under "specific incidents" because the list was getting incredibly long. Here is my justification for removing the following:
Bosphorus serial murders - The targets for these murders were mostly Muslim, but the cause for targeting the neo-Nazis targeted the victims due to anti-immigrant and racial hatred, not so much Islamophobia.
These attacks were all targeted against Turkish Muslims. They even sent a letter to the Islamic centre in Hamburg after one of their attacks. You said racial hatred is often mixed with Islamophobia if all the members of a race such as Rohingya are Muslims (such is the case in Myanmar). This is also the case here.
2009–10 Malmö shootings - While main of the targets for the crimes were Muslim, the motivation was racial hatred and general anti-immigrant sentiment.
Solingen arson attack of 1993 - Same as above; while main of the targets for the crimes were Turkish, the motivation was racial hatred and general anti-immigrant sentiment.
Trollhättan school attack - Swedish police stated that the motive behind the attack had "racist motives" and that it was a "hate crime," less hatred of Muslims and Islam.
