Assuming helps nobody. Wait for the motives to be revealed by the investigators.

There's already a bunch of anti-Muslim statements rising on the usual places (YT, FB) because the only shooter identified so far has an Arabic-origin name.

So does the guy who tackled one of the shooters, apparently, but of course they won't be mentioning him, because he doesn't fit in their narrative...

Hero Bystander's family members landed to Sydney from Syria 6 months ago but no specific country of origin mentioned. So, say he is Syrian. His motive was to prevent more deaths. A humanitarian act as family described it. He also said that ‘God gave me strength. I believe I’m going to stop this person killing people’.

We can't generalize anything. On one side we see religious extremists shooting at people. On the other side (allegedly) same religion people acting out of the goodness of their heart. But no one can dismiss this being a religious attack.
