Summary
A Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five people, including a child, and injuring over 200.
The 50-year-old suspect, who had lived in Germany for nearly two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right politics. Authorities believe he acted alone.
The attack shocked Germany, prompting other towns to cancel Christmas markets and increasing security measures nationwide.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz mourned the victims, and a memorial service is planned. Saudi Arabia condemned the attack, calling it a tragedy.
Yup, I checked the comments on some posts and they were blaming islam. Once they knew that he was also anti-islam, they went mask off and started blaming Arabs and promoting deportation.
We can’t make these clowns happy, they’ll always just blame us.
Right wingers suddenly start using the word Taqqiyah and claim this guy was hiding his religion. Which makes no sense considering this man was not only an atheist but campaigned against Islam and Muslims for more than ten years.
But really it goes to show the pretense of “we do not hate brown people, we hate Islam which is an ideology so we are not racist.” was nothing but a sham as they will call any brown person a Muslim.
Quick note that right-wingers invent their own definition of what Taqiyyah is. What actually exists in Islam is people being allowed to hide their beliefs if it would put them in danger. Not just for whatever purpose suits them.

Taqqiyah… in germany.
The saddest part is, there are a lot of real things to criticize islam about, i live in saudi arabia and i fear someone will discover that i am an atheist and be beheaded. But these guys don’t care about that.
They don’t hate islam, they hate arabs. But all of a sudden, when their own logic is used against them, all of a sudden it’s different.
Their think their own discomfort with immigrants is more important than those immigrants escaping persecution. It happened just after the Syrian revolution where i saw a lot of europeans say “they’ll leave europe now, right?”.
It pisses me off more that these guys are probably german, too; they say shit like “never again” then they say bs like this. They act like they’re more civilized than us, that we’re savages, despite not even 100 years ago they committed one of the worst genocides in history, but they’re not savages, WE are. My point isn’t that they should be considered savages, But the hypocrisy is unreal to me.
they say shit like “never again” then they say bs like this.
No they don’t and that’s the worrying part: In the best case they think it has been long enough since the Shoa happenend and Germany should look forward and not backwards. In the worst case the flat out deny that it happened altogether…
Isn’t Saudi building clubs and selling alcohol these days? What is going on over there?
