"suicide bomber" does the trick, we all know what it means.
This was a 'home made' bomb - deliberately made by someone, at someone's home - with the specific intention of killing people.
'Terrorist incident' seems to be common parlance as well. I'd be much happier if everything were described using language which properly conveys the actual weight of what has happened.

"Some fucking arsehole with a bomb......"
Its what we're all thinking.
The people who shared fake missing person posts because they wanted twitter fame, will they face punishment? Wasting police time etc?
It just strikes me like they need a kick into the real world. How do they not realise that it is not OK to do it?
With that said, the Christian/Jewish god could be considered the founder of those faiths, and he was a capricious misogynist murderer guilty of genocide on a scale never since matched by humans if you believe the Old Testament, so...
On the other hand, the Bible as we currently know it is the result of editing and compilation by the Romans, at which point you have to consider their morality - paedophilia and warlike tendencies were a staple of their aristocratic class.
It's not fair to compare a religion which has ethereal supernatural spirituality at the centre of it, with another religion which has politics and conquest built right into the heart of it. Christianity (to my knowledge) doesn't teach people that they have to spread it to the unbelievers and kill them if they don't convert.
if someone is murdered, we "have to see" people standing at the edge of the police tape over and over for hours, why can't we have a summary as things clarify
The media's approach is what got that poor chap in bristol dragged through hell:

I also think that showing too much detail could well have damaging psychological effects on many
For example, it could be a deliberate strategy from ISIS sympathizers to cause as much noise / confusion as possible.
Holding all Muslims responsible for terrorism is no better than holding all men responsible for rape (except that if you picked a random Muslim there would be a much lower chance that they were a terrorist than that of a random man being a rapist).
I'm not sure about your analysis though. Religions facilitate this type of behaviour, this is a fact. Christianity is not as bad as it used to be for this.
Find me a Muslim who believes that the crusades were "not a Christian problem"
I believe these are all facts:
But this is not a Muslim problem?
How many Christians or atheists do you know who think that bombing civilians can be justified?
