A lesson in waiting at least a day to politicize terrorist attacks. AFD head: „When will this madness end?“ Alleged attacker: is an AFD supporter.

  3. Isn’t AFD strongly against immigrants?
    It’s pretty shitty that in this situation we often don’t hear much about the attacker. We know where he comes from but never hear enough about his actual background and what led to this so a lot of speculation go wild.

  4. A Saudi ex-Muslim who became an anti-Islam crusader and a far-right AfD supporter and then commits a terror attack against a Christmas market is one hell of a Rorschach test.

    People can see whichever group or cause they want to vilify in this guy.

    EDIT: Oh, he was a refugee, too, so add that to the flaming pile of groups people can blame.

  5. Oh, nonono. You don’t understand. Suddenly it’s not Islamic terror anymore. It’s “anti-German terror” now. They already say that online. Please ignore that the guy sounded like a card-carrying member of PEGIDA on his Twitter while spewing and reposting all the AfD and Sellner talking points.

  6. Even if everything i gathered so far is true, he still caused resentment against Islam. Which would be kind of his goal, if all rumors are true. Should they not be true, the effect remains the same. As if people still believe what the media or the internet is telling them. Intresting times.

  8. Now that he is an AFD supporter, we can unlock the thread!

  9. FYI: In hungary when the Fico thing happened the news were all about how the shooter was a liberal and how he is not on the side of peace and oh my oh my the violence in politics is awful

    (They constantly (still to this day) try and make people not only attack them so that they can whine about it that the liberals are violent and dangerous but also make their supporters attack any opposition)

    This feels extremely irrational and similar to me how this muslim immigrant who commited a terrorist act against WHITE german people because muslims would not go to a christmas fest is otherwise an AfD supporter and if we had more muslim immigrants this would not happen and we have to shun and make the evil “far” right disappear

  12. To be clear: I don‘t think we should take anything away from him being pro-AFD either. There will be a productive discussion to be had about motives and public safety and mental health and ideology and what can be done about all this, but it will be LATER after more information comes out.

  13. The far right cunts jumping to conclusions only to look like a bunch of clowns. Then again, far right cunts always look like a bunch of clowns anyways.

  14. Even more sad is that Elon Musk retweeted right-wing activist Naomi Seibt when he proclaimed “Only the AfD can save Germany”, who the attacker also retweeted and followed. You can’t make this up.

  15. > Be me

    >Often scream Islam is a violent and cruel ideology

    > I have to prove Islamists will destroy Germany, but how?

    >Idea. Let’s copy paste Isis’ methods and drive my car against kids at a Christmas market

    > I am a genious

    Also maybe we should start treating the AFD like the islamists. Neither group is particularly friendly to Western democracies

  16. What do innocent people enjoying a Christmas Market have to do with Islam?

  17. Unconfirmed but it’s being claimed that a Saudi woman reported him for making the threat in 2023 but got no response back.

    Apparently he made the threat publicly on Twitter and she had a personal discussion with him that led her to believe he was serious. Very bad if true.

  18. If he really was against radical muslims then why js he acting just like them? Attacking innocent Germans at a christmas market?

    Why is he not plowing into muslim crowds at a mosque?

  19. Reasonable people would use this tragedy to unite against radicalism and extremism from all sides.

    But instead the noise will just be louder

  20. Online radicalization of men is scary. Politicians realizing they benefit from them existing is even scarier.

  21. I dont understand, so the guy is right wing, then proceeds to attack christians? Makes no sense honesly

  22. Radical Islam or radical far right group what’s the difference? All these ideologies create nothing but hate and violence.
    there always a weak person who will carry their attacks.
    He didn’t care about who is at the market it’s about his political message, the problem is bigger then immigration, if you deport all immigrants tomorrow they will find a new group with new name to start to hate on.

  23. People are speechless here and can‘t understand it. That‘s because we think these terrorists are criminal masterminds who have a plan and goals. But they don‘t, they‘re all just crazy assholes that want to cause destruction. No person with a clear mind would attack random people and children.

  24. Those of us in the “the real enemy is cars” section remain vindicated

  25. Social Media creates the crudest mixes of radicalized people. Next attacker is probably a buddhist flat earther who believes the government supports china in surpressing the Dalai Lamas legitimate rule over Atlantis which is really Antarctica and will be revealed once Chemtrails have warmed the earth enough so the ice melts.

  26. How ironic that Musk calls Scholz an “incompetent fool” over this act of terror while also endorsing the AfD publicly.

  27. I think something that needs to be investigated is his accusations that KSA agents were harassing him for criticising the regime, islam, and helping refugees. If true, they have had a role in pushing him to commit an act of terror.
