I’m left of center but tired of this liberal propaganda. Literally zero mention of the word Islamic or Islamist when referencing the attackers?

All the article says about them is: “a man steered a stolen truck into crowds in Berlin” (re:2016 attack), and “A man plowed a rented S.U.V. into the crowds there” (re:12/2024 attack).

Who are these men and why are they attacking innocent ppl?

Other sources:

— Eleven people died and 60 were seriously injured when the Islamist Anis Amri drove a stolen truck into a Christmas market in central Berlin on December 19, 2016. https://www.dw.com/en/berlin-islamist-terror-attack-a-deadly...

— German authorities are suspecting that the attack plans were based on an Islamist motive and that it would be carried out by car. The suspects include a 56-year-old Egyptian, a 37-year-old Syrian and three Moroccans aged 22, 28 and 30. […] Last year, a man drove an SUV into a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on December 20, killing six people and leaving over 300 others injured. The 50-year-old Saudi perpetrator, Talib A., had previously exhibited erratic behavior and threatened violence, drawing allegations of tip-off and intelligence failures. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-5-arrested-for-suspected-chris...
