Let me guess, a Japanese Muslim?
That's not really a thing. Generally these attacks are just some guy snapping. Japan doesn't really have "say your feelings" or "talk about your problems", so they just bottle it up, until occasionally someone in the long-tail snaps and either jumps in front of a bullet train or does something brutally crazy.
I take it the counselling industry isn't exactly booming in Japan.
While you may be a bit sarcastic, it is actually quite true. Japanese therapy/counselling/psychiatry is about 50 years behind the west. There's little cultural will in admitting mental problems or discussing them in Japan. People just snap and then commit suicide.
