And everyone jumped to conclusions that it surely was islamist extremist terrorists, al-qeada or the like. But no, it was a right-wing nationalist anti-islamist (apparently single) guy. I am so glad.
You're so glad, really? This guy was apparently Christian, so I hope that makes you feel better about the religious aspect of it. Extremists and fundamentalists are all the same, regardless of what they're worshiping.
Also, given that Islamic extremists would be the most obvious conclusion, how is it unreasonable to draw such assumptions, especially when a supposed Islamic group claimed responsibility?

Wouldn't this make it less likely to be Islamic extremists vs fundamentalists from <insert religion>?

Because Muslims are more prone to being crazy and/or extreme than Christians (or people of <insert religion>)? Because Islamic extremists are the only people that use guerrilla tactics and explosive devices to get their point across?

Until July 1997, the IRA carried out several bombing and
shooting attacks. These included the Docklands bombing
and the Manchester bombing, which together killed 2
civilians, injured 212 more and caused around £500
million in damage.
