Some Last Minute Updates and Thoughts on the Islamic Attack in Germany Yesterday

Ed and David both did their usual fantastic job covering the horrific Muslim attack on the Pride festival in Berlin on Saturday. 

Ed had the details of the attack itself and the facts surrounding the perpetrator - an Islamic extremist and 'known wolf' to German authorities

David covered the mind-numbing rundown of all the suicidal empathy on display in the aftermath of the attack by a known ISIS sympathizer. We here are awash in it as well.

There's no denying that their imported 'migrant' problem in the country is out of control, and doing its level best to destroy nearly every facet of German culture left.

But 'the Right' is all these useful tools bleat about, even with blood still in the streets.

... and the narrative still remains among German broadcasters that "the Right" is the primary threat to the LGBT community.

If Muslims continue to run down and murder gay people for being gay, who will protect Muslims from the 'right-wing'?

Berlin Pride organizers warn against hatred of Muslims

Germany's CSD Association, the organizers of the Berlin Pride event that was cut short by a terror attack on Saturday, pledged not to be suppressed by violence.

The organization said that both "right-wing and religious ideologies aim to oppress queer people."

"Behind such violence lies an attempt to divide our society and pit people against one another,” they said in a statement. "We will not allow that to happen."

Queers for Palestine springs to mind, and there were those flags fluttering alongside all the pink and rainbow. Their empathy would be appreciated only as long as it would take for them to draw a bead on you with their van or throw you off a roof.

And the German government is equally to blame. This murderous Abdul Ballout was a known fanatic who, as Ed pointed out, had been on the authorities' radar for years.

But now we learn he'd actually left the country to join ISIS and the freaking' Germans had him arrested and returned TO GERMANY!

VURT DA FURK?!

...Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks. 

He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served.

By July 2026 he was back on the streets. 

German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions. 

He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade.

Why didn't they leave him to rot there?

Oh, no. The German government brings him back to turn him loose on their own streets.

Dear God.

...5⃣ Arrested again on arrival at Berlin airport

6⃣ Handed suspended sentence

7⃣ Released while prosecutors appealed

8⃣ Only intermittently monitored after release

9⃣ Deradicalization meetings were voluntary

1⃣0⃣ Police investigated weapon post before attack but made no arrest

Chancellor Friedrich Merz is now said to be considering stripping citizenship from terrorists - there's a concept. His proposal wouldn't apply in this case because it's for dual citizenships, and I have no hope he'd ever act on it. He's simply a weak sister in an angry country trying to hang onto a job he has no ability for.

Following the news that the Berlin attacker was a known religious extremist, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said law enforcement should do everything in its power to "limit the freedom of movement of such potential offenders as much as possible."

Merz told reporters that he had already asked Germany's Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, to look into the issue.

Police named 21-year-old Abdul B. as the driver of the van that rammed into revelers during a Berlin Pride celebration this Saturday. The man was born in Berlin and — despite his Lebanese roots — only had German citizenship.

And when you look at how weak the government enforcement is, 'tis to laugh.

WELL, WE TOLD THEM TO LEAVE, BUT WE CAN'T MAKE THEM - MAYBE WE CAN HURRY THEM ALONG POLITELY

...He also said that many people who had been ordered to leave Germany should be indeed pushed into leaving as soon as possible, as the group includes many potentially dangerous individuals.

And what do the Germans do when the deprogramming won't take - or the radicals don't go?

...The court had ordered the young man to attend a total of 26 appointments at a deradicalization center. Abdul B. had already completed two of these; a third counseling session was scheduled for that Monday. There is widespread criticism now of whether such trainings de facto serve their purpose.

And I'd like to point out something I noticed as this unfolded this weekend. To me, who's been covering these attacks for almost four years now, it struck almost immediately what the difference was.

The Polizei immediately named an ISLAMIC male - a name! Nearly as soon as the vehicle stopped and the manhunt began.

I believe it was because of whom the victims were lying in the street.

Had they been everyday Germans, I don't think it would have been handled this way. It surely hadn't before.

Getting information or a description of the assailant has been excruciatingly slow.

And there are always 'considerations' for the perpetrator. 'He has mental issues' - there's always an excuse.

This response was very different from any Christmas Market or city square ramming. In any of the European countries plagued with this pestilence.

Every last Western European country tiptoes around the Islamic maniac with the knife or the car, as if the instruments wielded themselves independently.

As I said, the only reason I can see that we knew almost immediately what the Polizei knew, instead of protecting the attacker, is thanks to who was under the wheels and the front bumper.
