As one of many posts on Twitter, ISIS supporters were celebrating this attack. Doesn't mean they necessarily are responsible for the attack:

But we don't know if it was ISIS who called for the attack:

I am not saying #Wurzburg attacker got orders from ISIS. But these posts are read by ISIS fans all over world. Their influence is huge.

Maybe they will claim responsibility:

Let's see if ISIS claims this. It took them 36 hours to claim #Nice attack. Early to say reg. #Wuerzburg but signs point in ISIS direction.

Is the problem the influx of uncivilised Arabs?

France on the brink of civil war but don't worry about Germany: the influx of 3M uncivilised Arabs will bring an explosion of problems soon.

2016 hasn't been a good year so far and there is hope that the second half of the year be better.
