He was, of course, “known to police,” but they had done nothing to stop his jihad.
Note also his keffiyeh-patterned headband. The keffiyeh is this century’s National Socialist symbol.
“Machete-armed man with Palestinian flag wounds 31 in Germany with arson, ramming attacks,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, September 29, 2024:
A 41-year-old Syrian national wounded 31 people, including two children who were left in critical condition, in arson attacks on Saturday in the German city of Essen, according to police and media reports from Sunday morning.
At around 5:10 p.m. on Saturday, the man set fire to a residential building on Altenessener Strasse, at the corner of Pielsticker Strasse, according to Bild. He later drove a few streets over, where he set fire to a second residence.
The fire service said that 31 people were wounded in the arson attacks, while Essen police placed the number at 30.
Tagesschau reported that people threw children from windows onto cushions on the street to escape the flames. After setting off the fires, the man reportedly drove to Katernberger Strasse, where he rammed his car into a store before reversing and ramming into the building again.
The driver then continued to another shop on Katernberger Strasse, where he pulled out a machete and began threatening people. Nearby civilians, who threw objects in an attempt to distance the assailant, captured this component of the attack on video.
Sources told Bild that they arrested the man, who had burns on his hands, a few meters from the store. Tagesschau reported that he was known to the police before the incident. “The crime police have taken over the investigation and are examining the connections between the incidents. The specific motives of the arrested man are also the subject of the investigation,” Essen police published in a statement.
Videos screenshotted by multiple German media outlets appeared to show the man wearing a Palestinian flag and Keffiyeh-patterned headband….

I would assume that the authorities are completely baffled as far as the motive?
It’s a real head-scratcher.
David M says
If you read my previous post on this they blamed it on his wife leaving him! Nothing to do with Islam at all.
Jolil says
If there’s any truth in that it seems very similar to the story
about the female muslim who was caught plotting an arson attack on Notre Dame cathedral as a result of a romantic problem. What’s wrong with people?
Bruce David Watt says
so you think he gave two shiites about his kufir neighbors?
gravenimage says
I don’t tink that David is saying that he believes this excuse.
somehistory says
Last evening, David M provided a link to a different account of the same crime by the same scum. In that account, it said the scum’s wife had recently left him.
As many mozlum males do, they take their anger…at what they perceive as a loss of ‘honor’ …out on others, usually on their wife and children.
It’s often used as an “excuse” by those supposedly looking for a motive, rather than facing the fact that it is islam. It seems to be so in this case as they are “investigating.’ And he was already known to the police.
He should have to face a capital crime jury for what he has done to the little kids.
James Lincoln says
All true, somehistory.
That 41-year-old Syrian national is pure scum.
somehistory says
Thank you, James.

Mental disturbance I assume!
Dan Dagovitz says
When will Jews and Christians admit that they are at war with Islam and must fight to protect their people and their faith. The time for heading your head in the sand is OVER!
England Invaded says
They they stuck to injuring and killing there own, fine.
Fred Alan Medforth says
German mainstream media and politicians conceal the Islamist nature of the Essen terrorist attack
Remarkable: although the perpetrator clearly followed an Islamist behaviour and pattern of terrorism, the media and politicians remain silent. The newspaper ‘Süddeutsche Zeitung’ succinctly states: ‘There were two fires in apartment blocks in Essen today, and a van drove into two shops.’
The news programme ‘Tagesschau’ lists the attack far down online. Headline: ‘30 injured after fires – perpetrator to be remanded in custody’
On the X account of North Rhine-Westphalia Minister President Hendrik Wüst: There is no mention. On the X account of Interior Minister Nancy Faeser: There’s not a word. On the website of the TV programme ‘ZDF Heute’ a small news item and the misleading headline: ‘Residential buildings in flames. Many injured in fires in Essen.’ Not a single word in the article about the fact that the perpetrator was a Syrian or that he was wearing Islamist clothing.

MD Anthony says
When your religion instructs it’s believers to kill any and all people that the religion declares to be infidels…how do you change those instructions ?…You can’t. Questioning Islam is itself a death sentence.
James Lincoln says
Bingo, MD Anthony.
abu taleb says
What, they arrested the man? Isn’t that Islamophobia? Or racist?
How dare they arrested the man of Allah, a pious and devoted muslim who was following the command of Allah.
Kevin Kraemer says
Just kill him and be done with it. How long are these idiots going to continue to pacify the muhammadists.
OLD GUY says
These vary same attacks will be coming to America if we continue the open borders .
