At least 2 dead, 60 hurt after car drives into Christmas market in Germany

Rest in Peace to the innocent victims - simply enjoying shopping with their loved ones at Christmas time like hundreds of millions around the world. I hope the other casualties can pull through, but there are sure to be more deaths.

The suspect has been arrested - a Saudi man. Cowardly, hateful dog.

Another Islamist nutjob intent on destroying Western culture.

saudiarabian.you need to update your story.

Yeah, not even at all surprised by this

Yet another infidel attacks innocent people in their own country. Disgusting.

Only a countries formal armed forces can kill innocent people.

There are less than 5,000 Saudis living in Germany. A tragic attack destroying Christmas for too many. Unusual terrorist. 50-year-old doctor with explosives in his card.

All that diversity is serving Europe well, isn't it?

There are less than 5,000 Saudis living in Germany.

Yes, and that’s just the Saudis.

A tragic attack destroying Christmas for too many. Unusual terrorist. 50-year-old doctor with explosives in his card.

Unusual???

There are thousands of Syrian doctors working in German hospitals. If they returned home there would be a crisis and staff shortage.

A car, huh? Self-driving?

Or rather, is the news media trying to avoid telling us WHO was driving?

Gee, I wonder why...

Or rather, is the news media trying to avoid telling us WHO was driving?

Try reading.

I can't really understand the driver's motivation. If he doesn't like Christianity and wants people to convert to his religion, will running them down with a car persuade anyone?

Yep that “a car” did something is always the clear indication of who the driver will be found to be.

Um, "The suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who moved to Germany in 2006, Tamara Zieschang, the interior minister for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, said at a news conference. He has been practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Magdeburg, she said."

Pretty widely reported.

KIDS are now dead as Europe is burns, and the flames were started by the suicidal policies of mass immigration and the woke, globalist elites who enforced them. A Saudi Arabian immigrant driving into a Christmas market is not just a tragedy; it’s a symptom of a continent that has abandoned its roots, its culture, and its people. The EU, with its open borders and disdain for national sovereignty, has turned once-proud nations into playgrounds for UNCHECKED MIGRATION and lawlessness. The Uber Liberal Globalists screech "yay for diversity" while families grieve, traditions are erased, and communities live in fear. Let me repeat, German kids have been killed as a result of this - what kind of progress is that?! It ain't... it's straight up societal collapse. Europe must reject the globalist agenda, protect its borders, immediately deport any immigrant who commits a crime, and reclaim its identity before it's too late... if it's not already. Family, faith, and nation must come first, or Europe will literally cease to exist.

Media are reflecting political/sectarian contradictory reports assumptions, a number based on the suspect social media.

German broadcasters are being guided by a need not to inflame a German public.

Acutely aware that Chancellor Olaf Scholz confidence vote following the collapse of his coalition government, snap elections on February 23.

The situation is constantly evolving

The police have not released the identities of the two dead.

What turned this 50-year-old doctor into a deadly terrorist? Since 2009 he has saved lives daily. Today he took them.

Was the perp motivated by revenge and payback for the German government's complicity in the IDF's campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing of their Arab neighbors? If so, it will be predictably downplayed by the morally compromised German MSM.

Angela Merkel said open borders would change Germany…she didn’t lie.

This is a tragedy.

We see this every year. Every. Single. Year. Unless and until Europe returns to its roots and the invaders are repatriated, the slaughter will continue.

How is it even possible that the Bundeswehr just sits by and permits this to happen? How do the German politicians imagine they’re going to defend Ukraine from Russia when they can’t even defend their own people from foreign invaders?

Note that the perp is an Arab doctor.

What tuned this geezer was his devotion to his religion that finds these acts acceptable.

Germans open borders, immigration polices, have directly contributed to these extremist acts of violence atrocities'.

It is an act of criminal incompetence that Europe with its Schengen Area encompassing 29 European countries officially abolished border controls allowing movement without risk assessment .

Coupled with undocumented illegal immigrates, extended families allowed to accompany legal migrants, societies communities fail to integrate. Groups become marginalised across cultural religious lines creating fear and mistrust.

There are thousands of Syrian doctors working in German hospitals. If they returned home there would be a crisis and staff shortage.

And your point?

I can't really understand the driver's motivation. If he doesn't like Christianity and wants people to convert to his religion, will running them down with a car persuade anyone?

Again, I wish I could say that I am surprised, but I'm not.

What tuned this geezer was his devotion to his religion that finds these acts acceptable.

WHOA!

Then ditto for all the geezers who believe that the acts of the IDF and their allies are acceptable to their religions.

Latest comments are that the perpetrator was actually ‘Anti-Islam’

The coming days might offer more insight.

The reason for his attack is unknown or at least not released to the public.

No, so what was the reason?

A Saudi National, if that is not the biggest clue, not sure what is.

When was the last time a Saudi doctor 50 years and worked to save German lives since 2009 suddenly decided to be a terrorist?

Except for 9/11, the majority of terrorists were not Saudis. This attacker survived so we may learn about his motives.

Must consider source of rising societal stress, why global stability & peace so necessary, as US led global proxy wars & instability have caused all to suffer from terrible Inflation, Reduced Standard of Living & Rising Crime.

Wow — deft copy & paste from another article.

Well, I guess every crime these days is due to the above factors. Not just random right-wing pschyos, after all.

There were no crazy crimes thirty or forty years ago, or 100 years ago right?

Well, I guess every crime these days is due to the above factors. Not just random right-wing pschyos, after all.

Haha "right-wing psychos!" The same tired scapegoat dragged out to distract from the chaos Uber Left globalist policies create. Sorry pal, mass immigration, woke victim culture, and sick globalist agendas aren't just 'factors', they're the wrecking ball demolishing stable communities, family values, and national identity. Turning a blind eye to the skyrocketing crime rates and social disintegration your beloved policies fuel, then sarcastically dismiss anyone connecting the dots? As predictable as the refusal to take responsibility for the mess they've made.

Truly saddening and it must make most Germans question its immigration policies about particular ethnic groups. A doctor?! They’re supposed to help people, not kill them.

An absolute tragedy for the victims and their families. They were just out enjoying the scenery and the mood and in an instant their lives were irreparably changed for the worse. Truly tragic.

What tuned this geezer was his devotion to his religion that finds these acts acceptable

You know for an absolute fact that his devotion to his faith “tuned” him?

And, when does geezerhood begin? Around 50?

You’ve been very frank about your situation (cop father, unstable first wife, dropout kid).

How old are you now?

Video of the incident is available on a certain popular platform.

I made my point. Did you miss it?

No, so what was the reason?

A spokesman for the German government said if all the Syrian doctors returned home there would be a serious shortage of doctors and would cause a crisis.

I see, so the translation is: regardless if we might have some Islamists in our midst, we need to overlook that because we have a shortage of doctors.

When was the last time a Saudi doctor 50 years and worked to save German lives since 2009 suddenly decided to be a terrorist?

Ask him.

Except for 9/11, the majority of terrorists were not Saudis.

Wrong, 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were Saudi nationals. 

This attacker survived so we may learn about his motives.

I hope he never, ever sees the light of day again. Too bad Germany doesn't have the death penalty.

European governments brought the Middle East with its problems into Europe, now they have to live with the Middle East in Europe. Of course, the mainstream media will tell us that this purely random and not connected with any ideology/religion.

Why would his cause be any different from that of all the other jihadist attackers that Germany and the world have experienced? You tell us.

I get a bit later than uou guys, a saudi? doctor practising locally (t.bc.) BMW SuV zig-zagging. Dunno if you follow euro stuff, De turning to right, I saw earlier y'day that l lady leader of a 'right' declared that now syria is liberated and all De syrian immigrants were celebrating and happy. they could all be returned (aka kicked out).

suadi is quoted, so he got Saudi p/p. let's wait and see where he arrived from. (So many polly and diplomats)

redacte dbefore I get a mod star

Why would his cause be any different from that of all the other jihadist attackers that Germany and the world have experienced? You tell us.

The German police have not stated it was a terrorist attack or Jihadist attack. The doctor spends 15 years saving lives and then decides to kill.

First attack by a Saudi. First attack by a foreign doctor with permission to stay and work in Germany. Could there be another reason for his crimes?

Maybe something to do with the way he was treated in his medical practice.

He could be what many (most?) of you suspect - or rather, 'know' he is - an islamist terrorist nut.

Or, he could simply be a nut.

But to automatically make assumptions based purely on nationality, and then to say things like "I hope he never, ever sees the light of day again. Too bad Germany doesn't have the death penalty." is to my mind, pure evil. Especially at this stage when we know so little.

Anyway. Even if it turns out that the perpetrator is in fact, say, a christian (or at least a non muslim), most of the posters here will not believe - you people want the perpetrator to be a muslim, and will not accept anything else. Just admit it.

 Of course, the mainstream media will tell us that this purely random and not connected with any ideology/religion.

And of course, you won't believe them even if it is in fact shown to be purely random, not connected with any ideology/religion. Yes?

Are you saying all the Syrian doctors should be deported because they could be Jihadist terrorists?

You have zero reply. Saudi is a country you support.

Sure, but I have my doubts

Not buying that for a second; people don’t just plow over someone like this without careful planning.

Of all the attacks that happened in Germany over the last 2 decades how many of them were perpetrated by Christian fundamentalists?

Good question and one for the investors to determine.

I support the Saudis on a strictly business relationship as well as a buffer for any Iranian

Yes and then I hope after they get all they need to from this murderer, lock him up forever without any parole.

There have been more terrorist attacks by left-wing radicals and extreme right-wing than by Jihadist terrorists.

Latest comments are that the perpetrator was actually ‘Anti-Islam’

You got voted down for that comment, but I've read the same on another news site. From the BBC:

According to some German news reports, the suspect was not known to authorities as an Islamist extremist, while social media and posts online appear to suggest he had been critical of Islam.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

In 2023, Germany recorded 57 criminal offenses with an extremist background based on religious Islamic ideology which with coercion and threats constituting the highest number of these offenses.

64,000 foreign doctors work in Germany. 5,000 are Syrian doctors working in hospitals with another 1,000 working in clinics. 900 Saudi doctors work in Germany.
