White terrorist described as ‘loner’ by mainstream media. Propaganda?

“Muslim = terrorist
“White = mental health issues
“Darren Osborne is a terrorist radicalised by the media and right wing groups.”
I can’t help but agree.
White far-right terrorists seem to be very often described as “loners”
Don’t recall Muslim terrorists ever being described as loners
It matters, of course, not only to understand causes but also as to the likely public response https://t.co/rOW22KUj3G— Tom London (@TomLondon6) February 2, 2018
An unemployed “loner” intent on spilling as much blood as possible ploughed a hire van into a group of Muslims after becoming radicalised by far-right material within just a few weeks.
Darren Osborne, 48, deliberately mowed down worshippers outside two mosques in north London, shortly after 12.15am on June 19 last year, killing Makram Ali, 51, and injuring 12 others.
A jury of eight women and four men took one hour to convict the father-of-four, who was seen smiling and blowing a kiss to angry bystanders in the moments after the terror attack, of murder and attempted murder.
Osborne, who had denied both charges, nodded and looked around the courtroom as the verdicts were delivered at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday.
The attacker admitted he had initially hoped to “plough through” as many people as possible at the pro-Palestinian Al Quds march in central London, previously attended by Mr Corbyn.
But after driving a hire van from Cardiff to London on June 18, road closures thwarted Osborne’s plan.
Instead he travelled across London in hunt of a mosque, eventually ending up in Finsbury Park.
