Summary
The suspect in the deadly Christmas market car attack in Magdeburg, Germany, has been identified as Taleb A., a 50-year-old Saudi doctor and ex-Muslim who voiced Islamophobic views and supported the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
The attack killed five people and injured 200.
Authorities believe Taleb was motivated by anti-Islam sentiment, criticizing German tolerance toward Islamists and claiming the government targets Saudi asylum seekers.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser confirmed his Islamophobia but said further investigation is ongoing.
Taleb has also faced prior legal disputes over defamation.
Neumann, the terrorism expert, wrote: “After 25 years in this ‘business’ you think nothing could surprise you anymore. But a 50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim who lives in East Germany, loves the AfD and wants to punish Germany for its tolerance towards Islamists — that really wasn’t on my radar."
Propaganda works. It’s that simple.
Oh would you look at that, him and president elect Musk are political allies.
I’ve got to say, even Islamic terrorism makes more sense as an ideology than whatever this guy is on about… Terrorising your fellow citizens else Islam will get them. How does that even make sense?
In general right wingers / fascists are completely non-sensical and contradictory in their ideology and actions.
The first two that spring to mind that committed acts of terrorism had at least some “logic”. Anders Breivik attacked government building and a political youth camp to punish the Labour Party which he blamed for immigration. Thomas Meir killed Jo Cox because she was pro immigration. Etc. I’m struggling to think of an act of right wing terrorism as nonsensical as what’s just happened in Germany…
This has to be bullcrap
Why?
You didn’t know? Only Muslims can do terrorism \s
