How many more times is this going to have to happen before voters in Europe wake the hell up and realize their countries and their way of life are under attack, and the current people in charge are at best doing nothing about it, or worse encouraging it.
I think this is the reason he wanted to do it. He was ex-muslim, anti-islam activist who felt germany isn’t doing enough curb the spread of islam. He was also pro afd and held anti-immigrant sentiments.
Although the authorities says the motive was unclear, it seems to me that he wanted people to see “a saudi citizen attacks Christmas market” so german people see it as an attack on christian values by a foreign citizen.
What the actual.
2 dead (including a child), 68 injured (15 seriously).
Also that stupid Elon fuck meddling and using this event to talk shit

Turns out the attacker was an Elon fan. Maybe he should resign himself.
Insufferable twat
Incompetent fool.
Look who’s talking
There is no reason for him to sign his tweets
Islam needs to be deradicalized now, it’s such a well known problem how many radical preachers there are in mosques in Europe
I live in the Baptist south and feel exactly the same way about churches… Get some perspective, drop the bigotry.
Seems the driver was an anti-Islam right wing nut job. Do you think we need to de radicalise the right? Twitter?
Yes, that would be a great idea, too :)
The article didn’t mention Islam or any motive.
The article didn’t but for context german elections are happening in a couple months. I think the perpetrator wanted to portray immigrants as bad or that immigrants are attacking german values/culture.
The attacker was an ex-muslim, pro afd and anti-islam, and anti-immigrant activist.
In many ways, he was similar to the person you replied to.
Edit: you know whats funny? If this attacker was pro islam, you would see it in the headline
At the time I wrote it it was just known that he was from Saudi Arabia, and I assumed (maybe wrongly) that he was an Islamist.
I stand by my comment because most of these types of terror attacks have been carried out by Islamists over the years 🤷♂️ and because governments and even Muslims themselves acknowledge radical preachers, funded by foreign states or militias, are a big problem.
Bro you sound just like that guy who attacked and killed people
It’s tough to deradicalize religion. Almost all of the various holy books advocate for violence in various ways.
But the religions aren’t just determined by their books, but by how they are organized and practiced… Judaism has some insane schools, but no religion causes as much violence, harm and suppression as Islam.
And none of them are internally consistent. People choose which parts to give priority to.
You could watch Star Wars and come away thinking fascism is a great way to bring about order as long as there are no meddling space wizards, but that’s not the point of it.
Fuck.
