Imagine a problem that keeps recurring, but that you dare not name or confront. That problem is only going to grow.
“Knife attack on the train: passengers overwhelm the perpetrator – suspicion of an Islamist background,” translated from “Messerangriff im Zug: Fahrgäste überwältigen Täter – Verdacht auf islamistischen Hintergrund,” WDR, May 13, 2022:
At least three people were injured in a knife attack on the Regionalexpress 4 from Mönchengladbach to Aachen in the morning. Interior Minister Reul is currently assuming an amok attack.
The incident happened around 7:40 a.m. on Friday morning, when the train just left the Herzogenrath station. At that moment, according to the federal police, the man pulled out a knife and attacked several train passengers. Five of them were injured. They suffered cuts on their faces and hands, and one victim suffered a stab wound. According to the Cologne police, four injured people were taken to the hospital. But there was no danger to life.
Several passengers managed to overpower the man in a train compartment. A federal police officer, who happened to be sitting on the train in civilian clothing, then arrested him. The police were on site with strong forces and took over, among other things, the care of the witnesses present on the train. Train traffic between Mönchengladbach and Aachen was temporarily stopped.
Attacks “random and indiscriminate”
The attacks were “indiscriminate and arbitrary,” said North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) on Friday afternoon, “so far we have had to assume it was an amok attack.” The victim and perpetrator were not related to each other. There were about 270 passengers on the train.According to current knowledge, the 31-year-old man, who was born in Iraq, came to the attention of authorities in 2017 as a so-called Islamism test case, according to Reul. His current nationality is apparently still unclear. At the time, the man was living in a refugee home and had changed a lot, including growing a beard. The home then informed the authorities.
Cologne police investigated
“According to the current status of the investigation,” there have been no abnormalities since 2017, said Reul. However, the man had different names, so his record is not yet known with full certainity. Now it must be determined whether there really was an Islamist motive for the current act. A special group at the Cologne police took over the investigation.It was “a cruel act that could be stopped in an act of enormous courage,” said Reul. The perpetrator himself was also injured and is now in an Aachen clinic.

Every Muslim is a ‘test case.’ They’re running a massive, uncontrolled experiment on themselves to see how many Muslims will stab, rape and kill their citizens.
The experiment is going very well if their goal is to get as many of their citizens injured, terrorized and killed. But oddly they can’t seem to arrive at any sensible conclusion about the behavior of Muslims.
Perhaps they need more data, maybe millions of people first have to suffer by Muslim hands…but even then they won’t understand what causes Muslims to behave the way they do.
But I’m sure they’re grateful to their citizens for being unwilling Guinea pigs in their insane and asinine experiment.

In 2017: “..the man was living in a refugee home and had changed a lot, including growing a beard.”
The bigger the beard, the more radically Islamic. If it’s dyed red, keep a safe distance.

Yep.

The German people are doomed! There’s only one party that dares come even close to confronting their existential enemy – the muslims among them – and that party is one of the myriad parties in the Bundestag w/ just 80 seats out of 400+
Maybe the best hope for Germany is reverting to what it was before Bismarck – have Prussia, Bavaria, Hannover and all other breakaway regions secede, and let each of them have their own laws. Then the more socialist leaning countries can welcome muslims en masse, and the more right leaning countries can seal their borders and follow policies identical to Poland and Hungary

How many more innocent people will be injured, murdered or raped thanks to the European leaders’ insane immigration and refugee policies? Is anyone even keeping track? I would love to see the statistics.
Michael Copeland says
The.Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) said, “we have had to assume it was an amok attack.””
1. There is no obligation to make such an assumption. That is a mistake.
2. The killings were not random, in an “amok attack”: The victims are kafirs, attacked for their unbelief.
3. Islam’s instructions do say “Kill them”.

I lived in Germany in the 1970s and former friends that I have there tell me that I, (a Brit) have become a racist as I send them articles like this one, which they never seem to hear about in their own news feeds and even suggest its all lies and while they are surrounded by Germans, in Germany, and I am a Scot living in SE Asia for decades that the idea that I am the racist while all their friends are ethic Germans and many of my friends are ethic Asian…
This is the ”logic” of the bleeding heart uber Liberals Of The Left today.
They tell me now to stop contacting them.
They are ashamed of the actions of their Forefathers while bringing millions of young muslim men into Germany that love Hitler..
The jokes write themselves.
James Lincoln says
Andrew,
Your former German friends have lost their ability to think logically.
They will likely reject all totally factual and evidence-based articles that you send them that go against their preconceived Leftist narrative.
Very sad – and very dangerous.

Germany: Muslim migrant known as ‘Islamism test case’ stabs five people at random on train
…………….
This is how these “test cases” work out.
Just glad to see that the passengers stopped the Jihadist, or else things would have been even worse.

German trains are becoming like Chicago trains marred with with senseless violence and knife attacks. Under the ultra-left riot and looting supporter mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, stabbing and robberies on trains are on the rise. The murder rate in Chicago is all time higt. There has to be something common between moslems and left — their love of stabbing random innocent people on the trains. More Afghan moslems are being invited to Chicago area to be future “test cases.” The sanctuary city status of Chicago makes it a magnet for drug traffickers, gangs, and obviously “test case” moslems.
