After Jihad Attack on Gay Pride Parade, Germans Focus on the REAL Enemy

New in PJ Media:

Abdul Ballout, a Muslim who greatly admired the Islamic State (ISIS), on Saturday became a jihad warrior in his own right, plowing his car into a crowd of revelers at Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade, a popular and well-attended Gay Pride event.

In doing so, Ballout murdered one person and injured another 29, and engaged in a kind of jihad attack that his beloved ISIS and other jihadis have many times called upon Muslims in Western countries to undertake. As far back as September 2014, the Islamic State issued this call: “Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” ISIS helpfully listed a number of these possible ways to commit murder, including “run him over with your car.”

Now, however, numerous Germans and others are making it clear that the worst outcome of this attack would be if anyone got the idea that there was any problem with the left’s favorite religion, Islam. As Ben Bartee noted Wednesday, the Queer Commissioner of the Berlin State Government (yes, that’s a real government position), Alfonso Pantisano (a Teutonic name for the ages), has zeroed in on Germany’s real problem: “The far right here in Germany is, of course, waiting for an attack like this one, to use it in order to highlight that the foreigners are the problem.”

Pantisano is not the only one sounding this warning. The organizers of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade themselves declared: “We don’t want this act to be exploited for political purposes or for people to be placed under general suspicion. Such violence is an attempt to divide our society and incite people against each other. We, as Berlin CSD, will not allow this.” That’s tellin’ em! If those nasty right-wingers come around, we know you’ll show ‘em who’s boss!

Meanwhile, before all the details about Abdul Ballout came to light, a singer at the parade declared that her hope that the murderer was “no Kanake, but a Christian white person.” “Kanake,” a word generally seen as offensive, refers to Muslims and Arabs.

There is more. Read the rest here.
