    ELI5, why would an Islamist terrorist target Swedes, the day of a football match ?

    I can’t see why you would kill for football, but I thought being a football supporter isn’t really in accordance with radical Islam

      Muslims have been killing “infidels” for any and no reason at all since the 8th century. They continue to this day. Some use flimsy excuses for gruesomely murdering innocents, but the one undeniable fact remains constant: Muhammad told them to. Islam is a violent, medieval ideology which has no place in modern society.
