Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Something the Tagesspiegel won't mention. The suspect also supported Israels annexation of Palestinian Land and annihilation of Palestinians, as well as Israels invasion of Syria on his twitter account. This could be relevant as Palestinians have some of the oldest christian communities and places like Bethlehem are in occupied Palestinian land.
Please excuse the indirect source. His twitter profile wasn't accessible for me this morning. https://www.instagram.com/p/DD0eEcItXjI/?igsh=bjk2dGRrMXdmdXN1
The amalgamation of Islamophobia/Radical anti-religiousness, Fascism and Imperialism is now also killing native Europeans directly. This is an inevitable result of these ideologies centered around devaluing human life.
He is a raised Muslim who turned atheist from Saudi Arabia. Doing that carries the death penalty in there, so he fled to Germany. That is a pretty decent reason to hate Islam. So when AFD and other far right idiots like Musk claim Europe is taken over by Muslims, then somebody like that can absolutely loose his mind. It is also in line with wanting Israel to conquer as much land in the region as possible. He was heavily discriminated by a Islamic government, so wanting a guy like that preferring Israel over Muslim rule is logical.
He called for people to oppressed, discriminated and murdered. It seems he wanted everyone dead who he considered to not follow his will. If he wants freedom of religion for himself, he would have to grant it to everyone else too.
The only "logic" in there is egomania. And that is where these ideologies come together. They deem one group or person superior to others based on arbitrary categories.
Given how direct some of his statements were, including his calls for "revenge" on Germans and that he has been making these sort of statements for years, it is quite concerning that there was no earlier action by the police against him. We've seen these kind of "blind spots" with a lot of Nazi terrorism in Germany, like around the NSU terror cell and its vast network of supporters.
Logical is not the same as moral.
You're confusing logical with consequential or traceable. Like, you can track his path to madness and see each step being a consequence of the environment he lived in, but that doesn't make his decision logical. They're still highly irrational.
