The man accused of stabbing people in the Swedish municipality of Vetlanda is of Afghan origin, media reported on Thursday.

Late on Wednesday, a man attacked people with an axe in Vetlanda, leaving eight injured. Three of them sustained serious life-threatening injuries. The victims were hospitalized and the attacker was arrested.

According to the Swedish Aftonbladet newspaper, the Afghan-born 22-year-old man arrived in Sweden in 2018 and has since lived in Vetlanda.

Swedish police are currently studying whether the stabbing attack had terrorist motives. The attacker is now being monitored by law enforcement authorities, as the crimes he committed were minor.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has denounced the attack, saying that the country will respond to “these terrifying actions with the collective power of society.”

In November 2019, the municipality of Göttingen signed the “joint declaration for peace and mutual respect and against anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism” with representatives of the religious communities. It says: “There is no place for slurs here. We see diversity as an opportunity and call for a respectful and open approach to the social debate on religious and cultural plurality.Mustafa Keskin, long-time chairman of the Ditib community in Göttingen, also signed this declaration. According to its own statements, the German-Turkish mosque association Ditib has more than 900 members.Postings that Keskin published on Facebook and WhatsApp from 2013 to 2021 show a different picture of the honorary Islamic association official. The posts contain, among other things, a positive reference to the far-right assassin of the Pope in 1981, conspiracy myths as well as hatemongering messages against Jews and Armenians.

For example, one of Keskin’s postings from May 2015 shows Pope Francis and the Turkish right-wing extremist Mehmet Ali Agca, who seriously injured John Paul II in an assassination attempt in 1981.

Because Francis acknowledges the Armenian genocide as a historical reality, he should not be surprised if he is shot in the head, says the post, which, like the other posts, was published in Turkish.Other posts from May 2015 say “Jerusalem belongs to Muslims” and “Armenian bastard dogs”. In addition, Keskin posted a photo of an Israeli soldier, with a child raising his hand in front of him.”He opposes the Jewish dog, saying: your Zionism will be surprised when I strike you down with an Ottoman slap,” Keskin wrote about it at the time.

The same month, he posted a meme featuring Turkish President Erdogan and former Israeli President Shimon Peres. “The first since Sultan Abdülhamid to stand up to the cursed Jew, the powerful voice of the silent Ummah: Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” it read. A picture from 2014 shows a weapon composed of the map of Israel stabbing the torso of a child.

At the time, a Beretta pistol with ammunition also appeared on his Facebook profile picture.

In January 2021, Keskin posted a photo on WhatsApp referring to former US President Donald Trump as an “old puppet”, his successor Joe Biden as a “new puppet” and investment banker Jacob Rothschild as a “puppet master”. The Rothschild family functions in anti-Semitic conspiracy myths as a placeholder for “the Jews”, who are hallucinated as powerful and dominating world politics.Christoph de Vries ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU), rapporteur for religious communities of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, calls Mustafa Keskin “the typical face of political Islamism”. With him, the Janus-facedness can be witnessed, which is already known among Ditib representatives in other cases. “Outwardly appearing liberal and tolerant and committed to inter-religious dialogue, inwardly acting in a grossly anti-Semitic, nationalistic and intolerant manner,” said de Vries. The case shows once again that with regard to Ditib, the highest level of vigilance and restraint in state and civil society cooperation is required.

One of Germany’s top intelligence agencies has reportedly classified the entire Alternative for Germany party (AfD) as a suspected right-wing extremist group, thus paving the way for allowing state intelligence agencies to monitor party members, including the ability to read their emails and listen to their phone calls. 

The chief of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Thomas Haldenwang, informed all state offices on Wednesday that the step was taken on Feb. 25. However, due to legal complications, the BfV is. not permitted to officially announce the new AfD designation to the public.

Given AfD’s status as the largest opposition party in Germany and the harm the new classification could have on the party’s chances in upcoming elections, there are concerns that democratic principles may not apply to the AfD due to its rejection of mass migration and its electoral threat to the establishment parties of the country.

The new classification means that the BfV can track the party using all intelligence procedures, including secret methods. However, due to the unfinished proceedings before the administrative court, the agency is not yet monitoring AfD members of the Federal Assembly, state parliaments, and the European Parliament, including AfD candidates for this year’s German parliamentary elections.

The Federal Spokesman for the AfD, Tino Chrupalla, highlighted the undemocratic nature of the decision and accused the BfV of leaking the information before it was officially allowed to do so in order to harm the AfD’s electoral chances.

“The [BfV] intervenes with state resources in the free competition of democratic parties. Although it is not allowed to announce the suspected case, it is launching appropriate information to the media in order to harm the AfD. This is unique in the history of the Federal Republic,” Chrupella wrote. 

The BfV’s decision was preceded by another revision of an approximately 1,000-page report that was already available in January. However, the Federal Ministry of the Interior is said to have not given the green light for this due to legal risks. The new version has now apparently been approved.

At the national level, German counterintelligence decided in March last year to watch the nationalist Wing (Der Flügel) within the AfD, because, according to authorities, the brnach was confirmed to be extreme right-wing group. Although the wing has formally dissolved in the meantime, members from the group are still strongly represented in AfD and contributed to the new classification.

According to Spiegel, the report provides evidence that the AfD violates the guarantee of human dignity and the principle of democracy in the Basic Law. There are also said to be connections to organizations such as the Identitarian Movement, One Percent, and the Institute for State Policy as well as Compact magazine.

Officially no confirmation because of AfD lawsuits

When questioned by the media, the BfV did not want to confirm the decision.

“With regard to the unfinished proceedings and respect for the court, the BfV will not comment publicly on this matter,” the magazine quoted a counterintelligence spokesman. The AfD has taken a number of legal steps to prevent the counterintelligence from monitoring the party.

Several state associations of the AfD had already been classified as suspected cases. Most recently, the AfD Saxony was targeted by the secret service. The opposition party is also being observed as a suspected case in Thuringia, Brandenburg, and Saxony-Anhalt.

The Scandinavian nation has withdrawn their residence permits from 94 Syrian refugees after determining that Damascus and its surroundings are safe to return to. Denmark has in fact become the first European country to tell Syrian migrants they must return to their country of origin, stating it is now safe for them to do so.

Mattias Tesfaye, the Danish immigration minister, said last month that the country had been “open and honest from the start” with asylum seekers coming from Syria.

“We have made it clear to the Syrian refugees that their residence permit was temporary. It can be withdrawn if the protection is no longer needed,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “When conditions in the country of origin improve, a refugee must return home,” he explained.

Germany had previously declared that only refugees guilty of crimes could be deported to Syria. Denmark’s decision now means that 350 other Syrian residents in the country will possibly have their temporary protection permits revoked.

The ambition stated by the Danish Prime Minister, the Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen, is no asylum application lodged in Denmark, in maintaining the course of a very restrictive reception policy at a time when the country has received the lowest number of applications since 1998.

The small Nordic country of 5,8 million inhabitants makes no secret of its desire to discourage migrants from seeking refuge there. “We have to make sure that few people come to our country, otherwise our social cohesion cannot prevail,” said Frederiksen.

In 2017, then at the head of the Social Democrats, she presented a plan to send “non-Western” migrants back to African camps, sorting centers for migrants.

In September last year, Copenhagen appointed a migration ambassador to speed up the creation of one or more migrant camps outside the European Union as part of the new European asylum system, which it is advocating.

Jeff Kwasi Klein, a member of the Green Party’s leadership in Berlin, called on his fellow Black citizens to create “robust communities” that would no longer have a need for the police. According to him, riots and looting are also legitimate tools to oppose racist institutions. However, in his subsequent interview with Die Welt, he tempered his statements.

Jeff Kwasi Klein, who holds the post of Diversity Officer in the Berlin Green Party, made the controversial speech at a demonstration against police violence in Berlin at the end of May last year. He addressed his audience as his “Black siblings.” This weekend, his speech began to circulate on social media again.

“We must organize. It is important that we do not rely on the state but focus on building robust community structures so that we no longer have to call the police when we need help,” Klein said in the speech.

“Because strong communities do not need the police, because the police are not here for us, they are responsible for the violence in our lives,” he proclaimed.

After Die Welt now approached him, Klein distanced himself from his statement and tried to justify it.

“My speech was in response to the racist murder of George Floyd in the United States. The looting took place in the USA, but most of the protests were calm or started quiet and then got violently suppressed. Even if there is unrest, it does not make the whole protest against police violence illegitimate,” Klein now said.

He also rejected claims that he legitimizes violence. However, Black Lives Matter riots caused $1 billion to $2 billion in estimated property damage, and led to a number of murders of police officers and even fellow Black citizens such as retired police chief David Dorn.

The riots also saw Black protesters often violently beating White people. 

The beating of a White male also sparked a police manhunt for Black Lives Matter activist Marquis Loveafter footage of the attack went viral. 

Klein’s call or communities without police echoes movements to defund the police in the United States. Such attempts have mostly been seen as a failure, including the CHOP/CHAZ autonomous zone which temporarily succeeded in blockading police from an area of Seattle, which resulted in a rapid increase in crime and murders. 

The city of Minneapolis, at the forefront of the “defund the police” movement, has also quietly begun investing millions to hire police officers as crime rates surge.

“By robust communities, of course, I do not mean gangs, but building our own companies, Black businesses, social counseling centers, and associations. In cases of discrimination and violence by the police or the authorities, the Blacks could then visit a legal advice center for help instead of calling the police,” Klein said in what appeared to be an attempt to temper his previous words.

“Our anger will never cease to be heard. Even if it means breaking several things, such as their windows, their complacency, their ignorance, and their sense of security,” said Klein at the spring demonstration.

“You complain about the riots and the looting, but you do not understand that this is organized resistance against a racist system that only listens when it feels physically or financially threatened,” noted the Green Party politician.

Klein’s words echo BLM activists in the US, which have included violent threats and other racially charged remarks.

‘Let’s build robust communities so we don’t need the police,’ urges Black Green Party politician in Berlin

In the trial of a murder by torture in a refugee home in Lohmar (Rhein-Sieg district), the Bonn Regional Court sentenced one defendant to life imprisonment. An accomplice was sentenced to eleven years imprisonment – due to his massive drug and alcohol consumption, he was considered to be of diminished capacity at the time of the crime. Both defendants were convicted of murder by cruel means of murder on Monday.

The two 28 and 29-year-old men from Morocco had tied up and maltreated a 45-year-old man in his room in the municipal accommodation in Lohmar for several hours in July 2020. Among other things, they hit the victim’s skull more than 20 times with a table leg. His face was completely disfigured afterwards. The autopsy revealed 200 skin injuries all over the body.

Even for the experience of a jury court, this was a particularly horrific case, it was said at the beginning of the judgement. One police officer had described his first impression at the crime scene with the words: “That was torture. Everything was covered in blood. During the trial, the defendants had largely claimed memory lapses.

The court could only guess about the reasons why the man had been so horribly beaten up. Even if the defendants had been attacked with a knife – as one of the two had explained – one could not speak of self-defence in this “orgy of violence”. “The two people sitting here,” the judgement said, “had enjoyed killing.”

The presiding judge also said that frustration could not be ruled out. The accused had previously learned that their asylum applications had been rejected. Afterwards, they had met the later victim and had been drinking and taking drugs for two days until “something went terribly wrong”.

After the verdict, both defence lawyers declared that they would appeal.

Rape is apparently not as bad as it seemed since 2015? At least that is what the sentences against ” refugees” show, most which are not particularly severe. Now another case that once again sparks doubts over the rule of law: In the summer of 2016, the 15-year-old daughter of a refugee aid worker was raped by two young Syrians; four years later, the two “refugees” have now just been given suspended sentences, as if they had stolen a piece of chewing gum in the supermarket.

The suspended sentences will certainly impress the ” persons seeking protection” and will certainly be a lesson, at the latest after the verdict they will know that “protection and security” also applies in court. Will two young Germans who would rape an underage Syrian girl also be so lucky in court?

Perhaps the judge wisely thought that although the prisons are full enough, there must still be room in the jail to lock up the real criminals, such as the people who refuse to pay the licence fee for the public broadcaster (GEZ)?

Bild.de reports:

The two Syrians arrived in Germany in 2015 and lived in a shelter in Lüchow-Dannenberg. In summer 2016, the daughter of a refugee aid worker visited the Syrians’ accommodation in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district. At first they drank tea in the room, then the mood turned. According to the indictment, Mohamad T. suddenly held the girl’s arms while his accomplice undressed and raped her After the sex assault, the duo threatened her: “If you tell anyone anything, we’ll kill your whole family.”

Yesterday, four migrants were handcuffed in Puerto Rico, a town in the municipality of Mogán, Gran Canaria. The men of Maghreb origin are accused of raping a 36-year-old woman in a local park on Friday.

As reported by the newspaper La Provincia, the victim is an Irish national who has lived in the community with her family for years. After the incident, the woman first went to a health centre and filed a complaint on Sunday with the doctor’s report.

Thanks to the good personal description, all four men, who had recently come to Gran Canaria illegally on a boat, could be arrested during the course of yesterday (Monday). They had previously lived in tourist establishments in the municipalities of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán, but had been expelled from there. One of them was known to the police. He had already been convicted several times.
