A crazy man has driven his stolen car into crowds in central Melbourne, killing 4 and injuring many. An area I visit quite often...

Yeah, I read about that. 30+ injured and 4 or 5 critical. Terrible.

Funny how the article failed to mention he was a Muslim.......
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Probably because it had nothing to do with the event.

Every day is a horrible day in Melbourne.

Incorrect. He was of Greek background, had a long history of violence, mental issues and drug use. He'd stabbed his younger brother and left him in a critical condition earlier in the day.
One real possibility is that recent media coverage of trucks ramming into crowds may have left that idea in his mind, but that would be the only indirect connection to terrorism. Mind you, I bet ISIS social media are gloating, even if it wasn't of their making.

In another awful day in Melbourne, Andy Murray and Dan Evans got knocked out of the open.

Yes they made a mistake but it is not like that site exists because you lefty/liberals cover up and down play muslim atrocities. Oh we are totally for women/gay/trans rights whilst giving support and making laws that protect a religion which is antithetical to your views. God forbid a Christian not bake a cake for a gay couple then you blow a gasket. The cognitive dissonance is amazing to behold, you have no right to complain when conservatives call you mentally ill because you are nutjobs.
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

Fuck off, and have some respect for a tragedy that has nothing to do with your moronic drunken rants.

Which of us lefty/liberals do that? Citation required.
And what's wrong with being liberal?
I don't expect an answer btw. You'll have forgotten you ever said it come the morning
