  5. Known to police and like always no matter which country, the police respond with, well, we cannot violate his human rights and do something about him until he does something like drive a car at a high speed into a crowd of people. SMH.

  8. When they show you who they are believe them the first time. Judge him by his actions not his words ffs what is the matter with you.

  10. They are all working for caliphate.… wake up world 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ He is anti-radical and warned Germany but he killed bunch of innocent nonbelievers… what a bunch of BS🤷‍♀️

  11. This person is wanted by Saudi Arabia on charges of terrorism, smuggling girls to Europe, trafficking them and seducing them. Saudi Arabia asked Germany to hand him over, but Germany refused and granted him political asylum and permanent residency. I don’t know how stupid German politicians are when they link human rights to a terrorist who knows nothing about humanity. You have to return every person his government wants, because their governments know them better than you do.

  14. As an ex Muslim refugee living in Germany I have seen so much respect from Germans. The behavior of this so called psycholist is an insult to science and morality. If Muslims are the problem why should Germans pay the price? Anyone who is not happy in Germany must get the f*** out of Europe and return to the Middle East where they have respect and freedom.

  15. Why don't you say he is aa fanatic anti-Islam and anti-Muslims terrorist who has been threatening the German government openly on social media fora whole year. Nothing confusing, Saudi Arabia told them repeatedly that he was a rapist and a dangerous person. Read his posts on social media and you will find his motive clearly, do NOT pretend that anything here is confusing. He is a fanatical anti-Islam fascist

  17. It's not difficult. It's AGAIN the religion of peace. Same sh.. different day… And the lovely left wing media pinning this on extreme right again 🤡🤡🤡. When is enough enough? When will these traitor politicians wake up and admit their mistakes! Islam does not integrate and never will. It's even AGAINST their religion so why would they? Even the Sheikh has already warned Europe about this several years ago!

  18. Taqqiye permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.

    Maral Salmassi: “Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk… He is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X… His plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman… The police ignored her warnings.”

  21. Only the mainstream Western media are "confused." Like they've been clueless since this culturally suicidal open-border "asylum" policy has flooded Europe with anonymous alien freeloaders.

  24. The alleged perpetrator has been sharing Islamophobic views online for years.

    He also accused German authorities of not adequately addressing what he called the “Islamism of Europe.”
