The afd are terrorists and nazis. This murderer praises Musk and the far right and then does this. I'm in tears for Magdeburg. 🖤
Yet still they will run with the aspect of him being an Arab
"Brown people scary!"
Apparently a right-wing nut bag who had turned against Islam and immigrants.
Yup, I checked the comments on some posts and they were blaming islam. Once they knew that he was also anti-islam, they went mask off and started blaming Arabs and promoting deportation.
We can't make these clowns happy, they'll always just blame us.
Right wingers suddenly start using the word Taqqiyah and claim this guy was hiding his religion. Which makes no sense considering this man was not only an atheist but campaigned against Islam and Muslims for more than ten years.
But really it goes to show the pretense of "we do not hate brown people, we hate Islam which is an ideology so we are not racist." was nothing but a sham as they will call any brown person a Muslim.
Taqqiyah... in germany.
The saddest part is, there are a lot of real things to criticize islam about, i live in saudi arabia and i fear someone will discover that i am an atheist and be beheaded. But these guys don't care about that.
They don't hate islam, they hate arabs. But all of a sudden, when their own logic is used against them, all of a sudden it's different.
Their think their own discomfort with immigrants is more important than those immigrants escaping persecution. It happened just after the Syrian revolution where i saw a lot of europeans say "they'll leave europe now, right?".
It pisses me off more that these guys are probably german, too; they say shit like "never again" then they say bs like this. They act like they're more civilized than us, that we're savages, despite not even 100 years ago they committed one of the worst genocides in history, but they're not savages, WE are. My point isn't that they should be considered savages, But the hypocrisy is unreal to me.
Believe me, as a German, that pisses me off as well...
they say shit like "never again" then they say bs like this.
No they don't and that's the worrying part: In the best case they think it has been long enough since the Shoa happenend and Germany should look forward and not backwards. In the worst case the flat out deny that it happened altogether...
Isn't Saudi building clubs and selling alcohol these days? What is going on over there?
I live in mecca so we don't have stuff like that or airports or even cinemas. But yes, only for tourists.
Saudi Arabia sucks to live in. Hard. It is one of the most conservative, and least democratic country in the world. We have no workers rights, many people live in poverty, the non tourist cities are under developed, the government is also wahhabist, and what does the Prince do? He spends all OUR wealth on his toys and side projects. Saying Saudi Arabia is fascist is not far from the truth at this point.
I feel jealous of other countries, to be honest.
Please don't fall for MBSs faux-liberalisation, he is a fascist, just like all before him. In fact, this comment alone is enough to get me executed.
It's only good for tourists here.
Quick note that right-wingers invent their own definition of what Taqiyyah is. What actually exists in Islam is people being allowed to hide their beliefs if it would put them in danger. Not just for whatever purpose suits them.

Note that this was after Musk praised the AfD.
I'm sure that if this happened before Musk's endorsement it totally would have impacted his (Edit for clarity: Musk's) decision.
Absolutely certain.
Pardon me, I'm choking on all this sarcasm.
Considering he retweeted Musk more than once, I don't think suggesting that Musk had an effect on his thinking is as far-fetched as you seem to.
Oh let me clarify - I'm sure this terrorist act wouldn't impact Musk's endorsement of the AfD one bit.
Lemmy needs user tags so I could have "has ADHD and frequently miswords things" floating by my name.
Ah, yes you are correct.
Afaik, clients for Lemmy have tags, but they are stored on client side, too
The 50-year-old suspect, who had lived in Germany for nearly two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right politics. Authorities believe he acted alone.
He acted because he fell for rightwing propaganda...
It doesn't matter if he "acted alone" when thousand (millions?) of other people are listening to the same people spread the same propaganda. There's gonna be the same result, it's a matter of "when" not "if".
"Acted alone" pretty much always means stochastic terrorism. Very few people radicalize themselves.
So I guess his "Do no harm" oath is optional
Wouldn't you say its...hypocritical?
Unfortunately, things like this will continue to happen. Events like Pride here have been proactive whenever there's street events, and they have deployed crash barriers that people can walk between quite easily, but will immediately stop vehicles. They kinda look like portable construction equipment, but they have little wheels on them so they can be wheeled around, and have teeth that bite into the concrete when a car crashes into it. It will stop or potentially flip the car, depending on the speed.
Seeing deterrent measurements is disheartening, but it also makes it much more reassuring to see police and crash barriers protecting large (300k+) events like parades and street festivals. I hope Germany and other countries start to deploy barriers like this for big events.
Since when has the far right been the party of driving vehicles into crowds with intent to harm? What is this new, never happened before craziness?
Happened before in the US IIRC.
Also, idiocy is universal.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
