I’m not sure why the police are looking for him. Is it illegal to burn a New Testament in Germany? In any case, I don’t like burning books, it’s too identified with the National Socialists, but I don’t think people should be arrested or prosecuted for burning them. It’s a matter of the freedom of expression. At the same time, it should be noted that this gentleman is unlikely in the extreme to become a loyal, stable, productive member of German society.
“POL-HH: 220517-2. New testament burned in Hamburg-Niendorf – call for witnesses
Hamburg (ots),” translated from “POL-HH: 220517-2. Neues Testament in Hamburg-Niendorf verbrannt – Zeugenaufruf,” PressePortal, May 16, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
On Monday afternoon, a previously unknown man burned a New Testament on the street in Niendorf, shouting “Allahu Akbar” several times. The police are looking for witnesses.
Passers-by noticed the man and called the police. The suspect could not be found as part of the search measures that were then initiated.
So far he has been described as follows:
- male
- about 25 to 35 years old
- about 1.75 m
- Southern appearance
- strong figure
- wore blue jeans and white sneakers, among other things
- carried a black backpack with him
The state security has started preventive police investigations.
Witnesses who can give information about the wanted man or who have observed his actions are asked to call the Hamburg police hotline on 040/4286-56789 or to report to a police station….

Perhaps burning anything on the street is considered a crime of arson.
“Southern appearance.” Does that mean as in Africa being ‘south’ of Germany?
Since he shouted according to the way mozlums do when performing their ritual of personal improvement, why is that not part of the description?

hmmm… no doubt crowds of angry christians will be rampaging across the towns and villages, lynching and during down stores and homes, demanding retribution for the christiaphobia.
Oh, wait….now that won’t happen.
Nor will there be any cries of christophobia by the mass media, nor even questioning….
I’m wrong about that….. there no doubt will be some people who will cry out about the Islamophobia due to this event.

Can’t be much of a problem as long as it was his own Bible. If he shoplifted it or violated a fire ordinance, that is another matter.
The value of the Bible is in the reading and following its precepts. Apparently some Muslims think they should worship paper and ink and are surprised when Christian mobs don’t appear at a Bible burning.
When Muslims riot or kill someone, over alleged damage to a Quran, it reflects badly on Islam. Fear of violence is not respect and it promotes the public impression that Islam is violent.
Black Sabbath says
The point is not that moslem burnt the new testament. This is a crazy moslem (almost all are) might stab or rape someone. He needs to be found and thrown out of the country before someone gets hurt. Put him at the Border of Afghanistan and Pakistan and give him another copy of the new testament.

Burned a Bible, well, shame on you, not a very civil thing to do, but, it didn’t physically harm anyone, so, no foul, no harm.
Burned a Koran, well shame on you, not a very civil thing to do, but, it didn’t physically harm anyone; still, you must die.

Yep.

“It’s a matter of the freedom of expression.”
It’s also a matter of property rights. I can dispose of, alienate, my property as I see fit.
Diane Harvey says
And if I own a Qur’an and wish to destroy it, I can do that as well.
Fitna says
Today these vermin burn books, in the future they’ll be burning non-Muslims, like they’re doing now in Nigeria. The West continues to ignore, deny, deflect on the issue of Islam and Muslims.
At this rate it’s going to be a close fight once westerners wake up. But given that we’re ruled by traitors and cowards, we might not even end up fighting back and either run or surrender or just get killed.
Also with the baby-boomers dying off, and people have less kids, esp. in places like Canada and Europe, leaders are desperate to replace the lost population with immigrants from ‘anywhere’ and they mostly seem to be coming from Africa and the mideast…in the US it’s Mexicans.
Life is pretty short and it’s future generations that will have to deal with this massive problem, or they might ‘punt the ball’ too hoping future generations will handle it but all they’ll get instead is jihad and Islamification.

I think Marilyn Manson as well burned a Bible but noone was angry, noone said anything, noone called the police. Ooops, it’s Germany, here is everything forbidden ??
Johnny B says
If nothing else, this should disprove all the claims that if a Muslim were to burn the Bible it would also lead to riots like we saw in Sweden. This was basically non-event, not because Christians don’t care – we do – but there’s absolutely no justification for killing or even attacking a person who does something crazy like that.

Kesselman says
Muzlums usually display acts of uncivilized behavior. They clearly don’t belong in any European or North American society. So, nothing new here.
Devasur says
This is a bait and switch strategy they will attack you if you respond they will blame you if you boycott it they will still blame you.
Andrew Blackadder says
I assume he bought this Bible therefore he can do to it whatever he likes, just as I can with the Quran I bought, but something tells me he would not agree with me on that point.
Causing fire on the street can only be done in a Trash Can, for safety reasons ,so when that guy in Sweden wanted to burn a Quran to make a point he should have used a Trash Can,and this prick should have done so also.
Didnt see any Christians going bat shit crazy though, but maybe thats because they were all working during the day.

Fitna, you wrote: “But given that we’re ruled by traitors and cowards, we might not even end up fighting back and either run or surrender or just get killed.”
There is a novel, “Submission,” by Michel Houellebecq, which shows how a Muslim takeover can occur in France in the very near future. It was published there in 2015 and has been widely read and discussed. Its French title is “Soumission” but there is an English translation available from Amazon and other outlets. Frightening, dystopian, and entirely plausible.
commonsense says
Don’t know why my comment didn’t immediately follow Fitna’s post.
gravenimage says
Yes, commonsense–scary book from Michel Houellebecq.
JDow says
Meh, give the guy a pile of Bibles and a box of matches. We’ll replace them with nicer freshly printed copies. What the Bible says matters. Any printed Bible is worth the price of printing it and what wisdom may appear in the annotations left by its readers. The loss of this is sad. The loss of the Bible itself is easy to fix.

OLD GUY says
This goes to show that this screaming Muslim has no respect for any other religion but Islam. Islam feels that any other religion should and must be destroyed for it to exist and dominate the world. So burning the Bible and torching Churches and Synagogue and the destruction of all other religious symbols is just part of the plan.
James Lincoln says
While the muslim who was burning the New Testament, a Christian should have burned the koran – right in the same area.
Film the reaction… and post on Rumble.
