    Awful, utterly tragic story. Such needless loss of life for innocent people just going about their lives. This filthy vermin who carried it out deserves everything he gets and I hope the authorities deliver the response something like this deserves.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    While I think it's tasteless and unnecessary for that poster to mention Islam as this story is breaking, it's honestly the assumption that 99% of us would have made.

    3 dead, 6 wounded.
    Suspect shot in leg.

    They are the bunch of quislings which are supporting the mass immigration of people who have within them a significant percentage who have views anathema to western liberal values and hate our very existence. By not opposing this mass migration, they are partially responsible for the death of innocent European civilians.

    It may make you uncomfortable but it doesn't mean it is not true

    Have you been paying attention to the news over the last decade?

    The odds of this being an Islamic Attack is the same as the odds of there being rain in Ireland this month and you know that full well but are being purpously deceptive in your answer because you are blinded by ideology.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,875 ✭✭✭Feisar

    With the allowance of some poetic licence, they know what it means.

    So you think enabling the murder of innocent civilians by a foreign element is not traitorous?

    The little scumbag was wearing a mask as he was attacking people. Massive bravery shown by those who confronted him.

    Not if you actually know what traitorous means. Just use normal words that you understand, stop trying to bend big ones to suit your awful agenda.

    So because I don't automatically jump to conclusions that means I am "blinded by ideology"?

    If only there was a European country with tough border controls we could “litmus test” against. Oh, hello Poland. Gee it’s right beside Germany, let’s run the numbers for the hell of it...

    From Collins dictionary :
    A traitorous action will betray or bring danger to a country or to the group of people that someone belongs to.

    Seems pretty accurate

    Awful agenda? Not wanting the death of Civilians on European soil?

    I reported you for being needlessly aggressive, please try to lessen that in future like a good lad.

    Not an easy thing to do, most people would run away. They have saved lives with their actions.

    While I am against religious profiling with such an event, the vast majority turns out to be Muslims.

    However, it's important to note that it is the individuals on the extremist end of the stick...not "Muslims" in general.

    Terrorism events in Europe have been decreasing over the last number of years, however, while the number of events are down, the success rate of attacks are up. This is mainly due to the shift from complex coordinated methods to low capability and bladed weapon attacks.

    The motives are generally:
    Mental Illness.
    Extremist Ideology (not directed by an organised group).
    Response to German government/military activities in a specific country.

    It is likely that he is a refugee, migrant, asylum seeker. Could be known to authorities or has just been refused status or released from detention. Might have "pledged allegience" at some stage.

    There have been a good few of these types of attacks. If there's enough publicity, it will be claimed by an extremist group.

    Could also be connected to the IED attack on German troops in Mali today.....bit of a stretch but maybe.

    That’s what should be happening anyway.

    - don’t know why it takes so long to react but authorities should be on it looong before folk feel the necessity to take matters into their own hands.

    Seems to be the case in Europe anyway, with these type of attacks, but highlighting such seems to upset some posters on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭bewareofthedog


    Terrorism events in Europe have been decreasing over the last number of years

    I'd like to know if this is the case because of the increasing amounts of money spent on national security/monitoring preventing such attacks from happening, or if the numbers are just down in general.

    I googled it and this site popped up, I don't know how legit it is. There must be statistics some where that show numbers including foiled attacks etc. The article is based on 2019.

    https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/more-than-1-000-terrorists-arrested-across-europe-as-119-plots-uncovered-1.1038195

    "Almost 120 terrorist plots were uncovered across Europe last year, resulting in more than 1,000 arrests.

    ISIS was responsible for all but one of the 10 people killed.

    The latest figures covering terrorist incidents in 2019 have been revealed in Europol's EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report.

    In total, 119 terrorist attacks were foiled, failed or completed last year in 13 EU countries, also resulting in 27 people being wounded, 26 of them by ISIS.

    The 27th was hurt in a far-right terrorist attack.

    The attacks led to 1,004 people being arrested on suspicion of terrorism-related offences in 19 EU member states, with Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and the UK reporting the highest numbers."

    Half the lads excited/horrified about another attack.
    The other half arguing about incorrect word usage.

    Chap missed a trick by not claiming they suffered from anomic aphasia or something.

    Its all Orban fault and the Hungarians, they should take some of those instead of being so homophobic look how great Germany is.

    I'm just going to leave this here:
    Der Verdächtige, der in Würzburg drei Menschen erstochen haben soll, war nach Angaben des bayerischen Innenministers in psychiatrischer Behandlung.

    The suspect ... was receiving psychiatric treatment, according to the Bavarian minister of the interior*

    https://www.rnd.de/panorama/drei-menschen-in-wuerzburg-erstochen-verdaechtiger-war-in-psychiatrischer-behandlung-RJWDB27Z2VHZ7PUW6DT2XTUY54.html

    Ye can all wind your collective xenophobic / islamophobic necks back in again ...the guy's gaga first and foremost.

    *The Innenminister would be the minister responsible for the police force, among other things

    In order to reply to you, I will assume you are not being a d1ck and are actually interested.

    Terrorism can be broken into categories, state sponsored, religiously inspired, separatist or ethno-nationalist, left wing and anarchist, right wing or single issue terrorism, etc.

    This particular type of attack is typical and consistent with religiously inspired attacks. In which the overwhelming majority of contemporary religiously inspired attacks are Jihadist or Jihadist ideological/supporter/imitator. Jihad is an Islamic term, hence this type of attack is usually a Muslim or any other denomination acting in support of Muslims....but mainly Muslim.

    Now, while I have academic and professional experience in the field, I won't be linking every single thing I have read or written on the subject, for your benefit.

    03 Jan 2020: A french man who converted to Islam stabbed and killed 1, injured 3 in France.

    04 Apr 2020: A Sudanese refugee stabbed 7 people, killing 5 in France. Motive was France is a country of "Unbelief", a reference to Islam.

    27 Apr 2020: A French man who pledged allegiance to Islamic State rammed French police officers. He had a knife but was arrested before he could use it.

    18 Aug 2020: An Iraqi asylum seeker vehicle rammed a number of cars in Germany, religiously motivated.

    25 Sept 2020: A Pakistani man with a meat cleaver went to the old Charlie Hebdo premises in France and stabbed 2 people.

    04 Oct 2020: A Syrian national stabbed a gay couple, killing 1 in France. Religious motive against western liberal culture.

    16 Oct 2020: A male of Chechin decent decapitated a French school teacher for discussing the Prophet Mohammed.

    Also the Notre Dame and Austria attack.

    Hope that helps.

    Fair play to the public response.

    Those who confronted the attacker are heroes one and all.

    Much respect to them for their actions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    Shame he wasn't ended by the cops.

    While German police are all armed at least with a sidearm, they're still not supposed to shoot to kill if it can be avoided.
    In fact, there are pretty strict rules around using your weapon as a police officer.

    This ain't Murica, no trial by cop.
