On April 12th, a terror-attack against the team of one of the major German soccer clubs, BVB, was reported by several news agencies. The attack was carried out with three bombs, enclosed by metal bolts for maximum damage. Luckily, only one player was injured at his hand. Some clumsy letters found at the scene pointed to an Islamic background, another equally clumsy pamphlet pointed to the left-wing, but due to the bad spelling and grammar was immediately suspected to be a false flag, potentially set by some right-wing extremist.
As evident by the links above, the media happily picked up the Islamic theme; the German right-wing party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, alternative for Germany) also happily embraced the opportunity.
Turns out, the actual background seems to be a completely different one, neither political nor religious: The BVB is in the stock market. The perpetrator bought "put" options and tried to kill as many team-members as possible to make a fortune when the stocks would plummet.

He ain't Muslim, he ain't left, so, he's kinda presumed to be right.
Actually the summary didn't mention if he had any religion or political direction, only that the attack was apparently motivated by neither. The articles in Germany mentioned that the guy is a Christian regularly attending the mass, active in his community. He's educated, employed and a bit introvert. I would assume he is not left, but didn't find any information to confirm that assumption.
