        @BBCBreaking I disagree. Most people do not react calmly when someone opens fire at a tourist spot. There was quite a lot of terror, I bet.

        @BBCBreaking If a Muslim did it they would call it terror.But if a non-muslim did it, it's not terror.How unjust.

        @BBCBreaking meaning the shooter wasn't Arab/Muslim?!?!? Come on BBC. We can't know it was terror related until we know motives, etc.

        @BBCBreaking If shooting & killing people is not terror then what is terror? U mean since NO Muslim is involved in it so it can't B terror.
