Germany’s Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced on Sunday that he will file a formal criminal complaint against a left-wing columnist for writing that the country’s 250,000 police officers should be tossed on the trash heap where they belong.Seehofer, who ordered that all activities of the terrorist movement Hezbollah be outlawed in late April, told the mass-circulation daily Bild on Sunday: “As federal interior minister, I will file a criminal complaint tomorrow against the columnist for the unspeakable article in the taz about the police.”

He said that the words of Hengameh Yaghoobifarah in her column leads to the “excesses of violence, just as we have seen it now in Stuttgart. We cannot accept that.”Gangs smashed stores and attacked police in the southern Germany city of Stuttgart. An estimated 400 to 500 people attacked police after a drug check was made. Many of the rioters wore hoods and masked their faces.Yaghoobifarah, a 29-year-old German woman, wrote a column last week titled “All cops are incapable of working.”She laid out a scenario in her column in which the police force would be abolished and asked: “In which industries can ex-cops still be let in?”She continued that there is “only one suitable option” as a workplace for police officers – “the landfill.”Yaghoobifarah concluded that “Not as rubbish people with keys to houses, but on the heap where they are really only surrounded by waste. They certainly feel most comfortable among their own kind.”The German police unions DPolG and GdP filed criminal complaints against the taz for “inciting hatred.”The taz’s editor-in-chief Barbara Junge expressed regret about the commentary. “A column, however satirical it may have been, that can be understood as if police officers are nothing but rubbish, went wrong. I’m sorry,” Junge wrote in the taz.In 2017, The Jerusalem Post reported that the progressive paper taz was accused of stoking antisemitism, spreading Nazi conspiracy theories and defending Palestinian terrorism against the Jewish state.Sigmount Königsberg, the commissioner on antisemitism for Germany’s largest Jewish community in Berlin, told the Post in 2017 that taz’s former Israel-based correspondent “Susanne Knaul legitimizes terrorism.”Knaul sparked outrage over her commentary arguing that “Jerusalem is not Berlin” when evaluating the morality of vehicular terrorist attacks that took place in both cities. It is a “fact that there are reasons for the desperation that motivates Palestinians to suicide attacks,” she wrote. Knaul cited the “occupation” and “injustice” as ostensibly legitimate reasons to murder Israeli soldiers.In 2017, a Palestinian drove his truck into a group of Israeli soldiers, murdering four of them in attack that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was “part of the same pattern inspired by the Islamic State.” In December 2016, an Islamic State supporter rammed his truck into a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people, including Israeli Dalia Elyakim.The taz frequently offers space in its paper for writers who defend the Boycott, Divestment,  and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. The Bundestag classified BDS as an antisemitic movement in 2019.The taz and Junge declined to answer comment about the accusations levelled against the paper at the time.

“The world will be the same but worse after the virus,” wrote the French novelist Michel Houellebecq. He was right. Western civilization came out from lockdown to start a kind of countdown and it is now disintegrating along racial, religious and cultural lines.

“The class struggle disappears in favor of the racial war. It joins and competes with political Islam. An explosive cocktail.” This is Manuel Valls, the former French prime minister, to Valuers Actuelles magazine. “In the neighborhoods, the collapse of the Communist Party, the loss of influence of the Church, the atomization of society adds to the dilution of left-wing universalist thinking. Human rights associations have been lost and have opened the doors to Tariq Ramadan (…) It is folly to want to impose this reading of ‘white privilege’. Part of the left and the its leaders fed on American communitarianism. They are trying to impose on us, everywhere in Europe, a culture of anti-racism or feminism which is a dangerous neo-puritanism.”

Mr. Valls goes to the heart of the current troubles: Islamization and the loss of entire pieces of territory and European culture are welded to the anti-Western historical revenge carried out by pieces of white Western multiculturalism on behalf of the minorities – and a frightening masochistic sense of guilt.

Many enjoy watching the West burning.

The US is experiencing a wave of racial hatred for political cynical electoral reasons and for an ideological willing to dismantle “White privilege”, read it as Western civilization.

The Europe we knew is over. We have been made to realize that by the scenes from Dijon, once the beautiful capital of French Burgundy. Today it looks like Mogadishu. It is a war between Chechen and Maghreb bands. They shoot one another in broad daylight. They chase each other with swords. They block traffic. They attack cars. They perform raids and patrols. They fear nothing, certainly not the French state or the police.

In these images there is everything, the point of no return of many European countries, the appalling damage of mass immigration, the abandonment of entire cities and neighborhoods, the failure of multiculturalism. The rise of antisemitism. These are the new barbarian invasions. Hard to hope it ends well.

In the last few hours, as I write this, the statue of Columbus is being pulled down by the California Congress and the David Hume monument in Edinburgh has been vandalized.

Free speech is almost over. Take J.K. Rowling, the British writer of “Harry Potter”. She dared to say that men and women exist and gender ideology is a threat to sexual difference. She was lynched as a “femi-Nazi” and nobody in the mainstream media had the courage to stand up for her.

Today cultural destruction is politically correct. The blind destructive fury of this primitive iconoclasm, this delusion of self-hatred that has conquered the media and the political establishment, is the attempt to wipe out not only an entire culture, but its very memory, and replace it with infernal dogmas.

Police in the United Kingdom investigates Saturday’s knife attack in the city of Reading, in which three people died, as a terrorist act, but there are fears that his attack may have been motivated by homophobia after police named one of the victims as a ‘brilliant and loving’ gay American

Investigators are still have not confirmed a motive of the 25-year-old Libyan asylum seeker arrested over the incident, however, 39-year-old American Joe Ritchie-Bennett is believed to have been gay.

A local told the Daily Mail that, “two of the confirmed deaths are gay men. A friend told me the third is also a gay man. I knew one of them, who was an acquaintance. A homophobic attack can still be a terrorist incident.”

Police apparently have not ruled out homophobia as a possible motive.

Ritchie-Bennett had been at a picnic with his friends when the group was attacked by Saadallah, who also murdered James Furlong, 36, who was a history teacher. A total of three people were killed and three were seriously injured.

Although the police did not officially identify the perpetrator, the Press Association wrote that his name is 25-year-old Khairi Saadallah. Sky News then reported that the Libyan had applied for asylum in the United Kingdom, claiming he feared Islamists in his own country. According to the Associated Press, last year, Saadallah spent two months in prison for assaulting an emergency worker.

Saadallah was a local who lived approximately a mile from the scene of the attack. He is said to have converted from Islam to Christianity three years ago, and enjoyed smoking marijuana and drinking whiskey. Although the man reportedly claimed in different encounters to have fought both for and against ISIS, police say he did not ascribe to any ideology and may have been suffering from mental health issues.

The attack took place around 6 p.m. in the center of Reading, where the sunny weather attracted many people to the nearby park. As pubs in the UK are closed due to coronavirus measures, a lot of people gather outside.

Witnesses who have already been questioned by more than 40 investigators who said that the young Libyan started randomly attacking people around him. A Reading resident, Lawrence Wort, told BBC News that the assailant suddenly ran to a group of about eight to ten people and began stabbing them in the neck and other parts of the body with a knife. Then he ran after Wort, who managed to escape.

“From our inquiries so far, officers have found nothing to suggest that there was anyone else involved in this attack, and presently we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident,” said the Metropolitan police assistant commissioner Neil Basu, adding that there is no indication that there is a risk of another attack or that staying in public places would be dangerous.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was horrified by the attack.

“If there were lessons to be learned after the attack, the government will not hesitate to take action,” the prime minister said, suggesting a fresh crackdown on terror suspects.

The UK has experienced several terrorist attacks in recent years, carried out by radical Islamists. In 2017, a suicide bomber killed 22 people at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

In several attacks, the perpetrators also used knives or drove cars into victims. The last attack happened in February in London, where the police shot a man who attacked several people with a knife, wounding at least three people, one of them seriously. Last November, an assailant stabbed two people on London Bridge. Later, it turned out that he was convicted of terrorism in the past.

A 42-year-old woman who was stabbed to death last Friday evening on the street Nordbahnhofstraße in Stuttgart died in the course of yesterday’s Sunday (see tweet above). The 52-year-old Afghani man suspected of the crime was brought before a judge on Saturday, who issued the arrest warrant. Further investigations are ongoing.

Once upon a time, we lived in a world in which terrible things generally stayed  within certain borders, but with the magic of the internet, terrible ideas spread everywhere. Like, let’s riot, burn, smash, and loot. And so America’s riots became Europe’s riots.

Here’s the party scene in the German city of Stuttgart.

 Sunday, midnight. The violence explodes. “Windows were demolished, the pavement torn open, the stones thrown at police officers,” said local resident Matthias Grohe. “It was a war-like situation.”

Rioters, masked with balaclavas and scarves, break shop windows, carry away what they can carry. Alarm systems howl, glass splinters.

 A man in a green vest throws in the rear window of a police car and pulls out equipment. The crowd cheers and applauds. When an officer wrestles a riot to the ground, a hooded man comes running and kicks the policeman off the suspect with full force.

Police deputy Thomas Berger said yesterday: Of the 24 detainees, 12 were Germans, three with a migration background. The other half comes from. a. from Bosnia, Portugal, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan. They are “from the party scene”, which has been boasting of aggressive behavior against the police on social media for weeks.

A video shows how rioters shout “Allahu Akbar!” In the city center. 

The war continues. Sometimes it goes under various names such as mental illness, drug use, or riots, but it’s one war.

At this point it’s a joke – aside from the dead and wounded bodies. The jihad continues, but the denial and willful ignorance of authorities in Britain, and all over the West, is absolute and impenetrable. The latest episode in this grim comic opera came Saturday in the English city of Reading, when a Muslim migrant from Libya named Khairi Saadallah went on a stabbing spree, striking at people’s necks as per the Qur’an’s command (47:4), killing three and wounding three others. British authorities initially and uncharacteristically stated that the attack was terrorism, but counterterror top dog Neil Basu backtracked, saying “the motivation for this heinous act is far from certain.”

Of course. When is the motivation of an Islamic jihadist ever certain?

The “far from certain” motive wasn’t enough: the British authorities didn’t stop there from dragging out the moldy oldies, the hoary clichés of jihad denial. The Independent reported Sunday that “police are understood to be investigating mental health issues in connection with the attack.” It is a longstanding pattern, for the UK government and others, to whitewash clear incidents of jihad activity by ascribing them to mental illness. It’s funny how so many Muslims with “mental health issues” go on stabbing sprees, but shhhh – you’re not supposed to notice that. This form of denial is so common that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) should in its next edition add a new category of mental disorder, Islamic jihad.

The Independent, surprisingly more realistic than the British police, also noted that “Isis has incited its supporters to carry out low-technology terror attacks using knives and vehicles around the world. The terrorist group released advice on picking ‘soft targets’ containing crowds of people but low security. The tactics have been used in several recent terror attacks in the UK, including at Fishmongers’ Hall in November and Streatham in February.”

Indeed. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: “So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him.”

Neil Basu may be right: that call or something like may not illuminate Saadallah’s motive at all. But there may be no further evidence to go on. If his stabbings – in the neck, the Qur’an-prescribed target — of random people really were an act of jihad, as we have seen so very many times before, Saadallah wouldn’t be carrying an ISIS membership card. He need not have had contact with any ISIS members to have heard about that call and decided to heed it.

Meanwhile, maybe Khairi Saadallah really does have mental health issues. But that does not actually preclude the possibility that his attack was motivated by Islam’s teachings of jihad. No one ever seems to ponder why it is that so many Muslims with mental health issues somehow get the idea that stabbing random non-Muslims is the thing to do. To consider such a question, of course, would be “Islamophobic” on its face, and “Islamophobia” is the one vice that law enforcement and intelligence officials are determined to avoid at all costs.

If Britain is to survive as a free society, which seems quite unlikely at this point, this refusal to face up to what the country is facing must be challenged and rejected. But there appears to be no movement whatsoever to compel the government to end its resolute willful ignorance. Has the whole world lost the ability to think clearly? Will this incident be investigated properly, with examination of all contingencies? Almost certainly not. Today’s political and cultural climate, not just in Britain but all over what has up until recently been known as the “free world,” makes that virtually impossible.

A 27-year-old German man was seriously injured yesterday evening around 6:30 pm on tram line 109 on Steeler Street in Essen. The man was on the tram along with other passengers when two apparently alcoholized men got on at the Schwanenbusch stop. They were two 22- and 24-year-old Syrian brothers who live in Essen. As soon as they boarded the train, one of the men spat at a woman and pushed another passenger to the side. In the tram, both persons screamed, stood on their seats and hit the windows. When the later victim tried to call the police, he was immediately attacked by the aggressors.One of the men pulled a knife and stabbed the man several times. The man suffered stab wounds in his arms, neck and shoulder, which had to be treated in hospital. When the called police officers arrived, one of the perpetrators struck another passenger. Only by using pepper spray could both men be overpowered and arrested. One of the arrested men kicked an officer and injured him. Another officer was slightly injured during the resisting actions.A blood sample was taken from both accused at the police station. They were then taken into police custody. The criminal investigation department is currently investigating the background of the facts. Fortunately, the injured person was not critically injured. In the meantime he was able to leave the hospital.
