This was not jihad, because the police say it wasn’t, and we know they’re always 100% on the level about that. Still, a lingering question remains: when a country brings in massive numbers of people from a culture that sanctifies violence and says that the supreme god not only blesses it but actively wants it under some circumstances, aren’t incidents of this kind going to become more common? And shouldn’t German authorities care about that happening?
“After knife attack in Berlin: Attacker dies after police shot him,” translated from “3 Stiche, einer ging ins Herz,” Bild, April 13, 2025 (thanks to Medforth):
Berlin – The fatal knife attack in Berlin and the police shooting of the killer. On Sunday afternoon, the public prosecutor’s office released details of the case.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, the drama began at the Kaiserdamm subway station. At around 4:30 p.m., the victim, a 29-year-old German, and the perpetrator, a 43-year-old Syrian, boarded a U12 train heading toward Warschauer Straße independently of each other.
Then the argument ensued. “For reasons that remain unknown, an altercation broke out between the two passengers within seconds, which led to mutual pushes, initiated by the 43-year-old,” a spokesperson said.
The victim dragged himself onto the platform.
The argument escalated to the point where the perpetrator finally pulled a kitchen knife from his waistband and stabbed the 29-year-old three times.
“One of these stab wounds hit him – as the immediate autopsy performed yesterday evening revealed – in the area of his sternum, injuring a ventricle of his heart, which led to the man’s death,” the spokesperson continued.
The critically injured 29-year-old dragged himself out of the train at the Sophie-Charlotte-Platz subway station and then collapsed on the platform.
Three shots hit the knife-wielding man.
At the same time, the 43-year-old fled, running out of the subway station onto Schloßstraße. There, he was stopped by police officers and threatened them with the kitchen knife.
An officer then fired several shots from his service weapon. At least three hit the killer – in the thigh, torso, and neck!
Despite emergency surgery and medical care, the man succumbed to his injuries at around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.
As is customary in cases of fatal shootings, an investigation has been initiated against the officer on suspicion of manslaughter. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the proceedings against the attacker are expected to be dropped in the foreseeable future.
There is currently no evidence that the knife-wielding man may have attacked his victim with an Islamist terrorist motive, according to the public prosecutor’s office.
A witness who was in the beer garden at the time of the attack saw the knife-wielding man fleeing. He told BILD: “He was dressed in black. He held the knife in the air and brandished it. He ran as if he were on drugs, zigzagging.”
Once again, police have to incapacitate an armed criminal with gunfire.
But the fact is: Both men are known to the police and the judiciary. Both have been caught in the past on several occasions for assault, resisting and assaulting law enforcement officers, and violating the Narcotics Act.
The statement concludes that no information is yet available regarding the Syrian’s residency status.

Why are Germans so protective of Islamic crazies who are killing German citizens? Makes no sense. And it took 2 policemen, each firing three shots each to bring this madman down. Otherwise the police might have a dead policeman on their hands. Would they still be protective of the Muslim madman? The awful truth is they just might be. Insanity is in Germany and much of Europe.
Not one Jew killed any German on the street in a fit of rage and yet the Germans killed almost every Jew in Europe because they believed they were scum. The Jews were their doctors, their lawyers, they were store owners where Germans shopped, musicians who played Beethoven for Germans and everyone to enjoy and yet they killed them like flies.
But for Muslims who do almost nothing for Germany except take their money and enjoy their lives in what is for them a paradise while every once in a while one of them ram their cars into crowds of Germans enjoying their Christmas markets killing them or stab a German to death for arguing with them, for these Muslims the German press and politicians and even police made excuses and refuse to admit that they stupidly took in for their neighbors, poisonous snakes.

I wonder how Hittler would have done if muslims were stabbing and mollesting German people. Probably he would have sent the muslims to the concentration camps instead of sending the Jews.

Hi Abu Taleb, I strongly disagree with you. He would most likely have accepted a luke warm excuse and would have then continued with killing Jews. That’s how great his anti-semitism was.

According to the feature article:
“There is currently no evidence that the knife-wielding man may have attacked his victim with an Islamist terrorist motive, according to the public prosecutor’s office.”
Boy, it didn’t take them long to rule that out…
Kevin Kraemer says
Well, it appears kill and be killed is the theme of the muhamadists as they want to have their 70 virgins.
I’m sure the german authorities will indict their own for inadvertantly killing the innocent knife wielding salt of the earth syrian.
