When the attacks broke out yesterday in Paris, I immediately thought that it had to be Muslim terrorists. Does that make me a racist?

This morning I saw that it was ISIS claiming responsibility for the attacks, so I was right.

However, yesterday when it just broke out, I saw the headline of Gunfire, Explosions, and hostages and before I read the details, I already thought it had to be Muslims.

Update:

Does this make me racist for jumping to conclusions?

    No, that is connecting the facts of your experience in a logical way to make a prediction about the present or future.

    If you knew someone who had a history of lying, for example, you would be a fool not to suspect a new fishy sounding story.

    No its called 'common-sense'..only Muslims are cowards enough to do such attacks..oh and BTW islam is NOT a race. It's a filthy death cult that pretends to be a religion of 'peace '

    First of all, Isis aren't muslims , their main Goal is to increase islamophobia, most of its members have left school as a kid, knowing nothing about Islam.

    - And no it doesnt make you a racist, just dont hate muslims!

    No, literally everyone expected it to be muslims. Have you ever heard anybody yell ''praise jesus'' before exploding?

    No one in their right minds tolerates Islam or the Koran.

    So why do Western Governments?

    What does it say about our governments?
