This fails to mention the terrorist was a muslim.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It also fails to mention that the organising group is far right. So maybe it evens out?

[–] ByroTriz@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, the officer was not killed by a protestor. If you read the title it seems that it was the group's fault

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not to take any blame away from the terrorist, but this is what the organisers hope for.

And Putin is jumping with joy. Anything that divide us is good for him. Wouldn't surprise me if Russia funded the organisers.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like victim blaming to me. You should be able to protest without worrying about a terrorist attack.

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not if it's Nazis doing the protesting.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What if its not-nazis protesting nazis?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Russia funded the organisers.

Hardly, Russia is pro-Islam - they've met Hamas and are working with Iran.

They are part of the Islamic Axis of evil.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

They are so pro-islam that they in fact welcome the terror attack in Moscow a few weeks back - though frankly Putin probably does

At least they made sure to highlight the rally is anti-muslim. It's just funny following the reporting on the incident so far, as everyone saw the video, how obvious is the bias and tiptoeing around the fact that this was a religiously motivated attack against "anti-islam" activists. But due to the mental gymnastic that does not fit the narrative of doctors and engineers migrants.

The people the guy attacked were Nazis. They are not anti-Islam activists, they are Nazis. This is not an anti-Muslim rally, this is a Nazi rally.

Violence is always wrong, and so is your dogwhistling.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh so they advocate for another holocaust? Somehow I doubt theyre actually nazis. Methinks this is another case of anyone right of Stalin is considered a nazi.

[–] footoro@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yes they are Nazis and the Nazis in Germany have met in secret to plot deporting people to Africa that are not German enough, this includes German citizens whose blood is not pure enough according to their definition.

I honestly don’t understand this comment section. The leader of these people is a convicted extremist who was under surveillance for many many years. He is a nazi and wants to overthrow democracy.

On the other hand there was a Muslim bystander trying to stop the guy, a Muslim police officer stopping the guy and a Muslim paramedic treating the attacked. I wonder why you don’t care about that being mentioned.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If youre so not German to the point you stab people, maybe you should be deported for not being german enough.

[–] footoro@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And there you go, this is the guy who received 60 upvotes for his comment about wanting to emphasize that the attacker was Muslim.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like not wanting to be stabbed is reasonable. Do you not?

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

Right, so if I understand you correctly, Germans don't stab people. What do we do to kill someone then? Gas them or start a world war? The offender ought to really used Zyklon B

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah, another point for the religion of peace.

[–] footoro@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Is there actually someone still moderating feddit.de? Comments like this make me think I’m in the Fox News comment section.

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

feddit.de has had massive database problems for like 2 months now. It's not accessible via the default web interface, only via third party (web)apps. It's very likely that moderation of feddit.de communities has been increasingly difficult for the mods.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Seriously? You'd want me moderated for that comment?

Can you really only exist within echo chambers online?

If it calms you down a bit, I view Christianity pretty much the same.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One of the biggest failures of the left is its reactionary defence of Islam (as a religion).

Any honest criticism of Islam is branded Islamophobia (similarly to how any criticism of Israel is conflated with antisemitism).

Regardless of whether one wants to blame the Quran, or the cultures of Muslim communities - the fact remains that people get killed in non-Muslim majority countries for trivial shit.

I could draw a picture of Jesus sucking off Joseph Smith and I don't need to worry about Mormons coming to kill me.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The likelihood of some mentally disturbed person killing you for something like that is about equally high for Muslims or Mormons: i.e extremely low.

But if it is a Muslim, you can be sure the right-wing media is full of it.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

You cannot say they are equally high when:

12 people were killed for publishing a cartoon of Muhammad.

A teacher was beheaded for showing a drawing of Muhammad.

Cartoonist drew Muhammad, leading to Danish embassies being attacked and riots broke out and people died. Later, people broke into his house to try to kill him.

Cartoonist had to live under police protection because of threats.

Creators of South Park were threatened for including Muhammad in an episode of the show.

These were just a few from the FIRST PAGE of a search engine, AND outside of Muslim majority countries.

If you still think there's an equal chance of violence against you, then I dare you to draw Muhammad and publish it with your real name.

!don't actually do this, I don't want to be responsible for anyone dying.!<

This is before even considering every other 'provocation', leading to incidences like:

Salman Rushdie being stabbed on stage

A teacher forced into hiding for showing a picture of mahammad

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right so you're answering the argument that killings by muslim are overrepresented in media by quoting search engine results? If you actually want factual numbers you'd need to take a look at the criminal data from you country.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Do you think there's an argument to be made that Boeing's aeroplane failures are overrepresented in media?

What a stupid thing to say.

I don't need to crunch any numbers; the links are right there, the murderers EXPLICITLY state they did it because the person insulted their religion.

I challenge you to find me more than one example of a murder which was deliberately invoked because someone insulted a holy person from another religion over the last ten years.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

You are literally ignoring what I am saying. I've answered to the thread where you were answering the argument of mentally insane people kill as much as islamists, but the latter are more represented by the media by searching for headlines on a search engine. Nothing else, I've not actually challenged the argument of islamists completely overreacting at people insulting their believes.

Though just to clarify, while sceptism toward religion is always warranted, insulting someone's believes is arguably a no-go as well.

But you're obviously on a slippery slope towards the right. There have been plenty of violent attacks on politicians in the past few months in Germany alone. And they didn't even have to say anything against the attackers ideology
