You really don't have to apologize, it should be clear to people with half a functioning brain that someone isn't born as an IS terrorist. Rather we are in the duty to look into WHY these people turn to extremism and find ways to make turning to terrorism harder.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

It also remains to be seen that if, and this is likely, he was recruited by IS, if this happened before the attempts to deport him or afterwards. If it was afterwards, then all huffing and puffing about how all of this could have been prevented if the authorities were more strict and organized when it comes to deportatitons, falls flat. Because we don't live in the wordl of "Minority Report" and don't have a Pre-Crime departure that predicts all possible outcomes of the future. So concentrating on cutting off people from IS and their recruiters, is much more important, than any knee-jerk reactions about how to stop migration.

[@hansmeyer7225]

One major problem is that lone perpetrators most times don't have much of a direct connection to terrorist groups. They don't communicate about their plans much. They radicalize themselves through the internet or otherwise. We don't know if in this case he was in fact an Islamistic terrorist or saw himself as one. Nevertheless the lack of communication and sharing plans makes predicting these attacks from hard to close to impossible. I wonder why this guy didn't manage to get himself killed. This is what islamistic terrorists usually are aiming for. He is apparently alive and he turned himself in to the authorities. What's also some kind of unusual for Islamistic terrorists. Maybe his psychological state plays a somewhat stronger role in his actions as the proposed connection to islamistic terrorist groups. (This doesn't say that extremist radicalization can't lead or isn't connected to some kind of severe mental illness) As he is alive and in custody our authorities do have the chance to interrogate him. Hopefully they will find out what the motive of his actions were. In case it wasn't a factual islamistic motivated attack I don't know it'd be much of a difference for our society as a whole. The victims suffer, refugees will be treated worse and the ones who want to spread hatred will use this attack for their own vile motives. I for myself can only hope it could be a sign that the Islamistic terror is less of a threat. At least to an extent that our authorities are able to manage and protect us from bigger terrorist attacks.

Uhm, the picture you are showing here looks like he was wearing two dish towels of a make that's very common in Germany. I've seen them in use with gastronomy and hotels, generally supplied by laundry services. These probably were delivered to the facility where he lived. He's trying to make them look more like an actual head covering, probably clipped on with clothespins. But you see the different coloration and wrong size.

[@rewboss]

Oh, the video might well have been shot in Germany, and it might even be Issa al H himself. It's just that it's difficult to confirm that it is, although the fact that he gives the suspect's place of birth is a small bit of evidence in favour. If the police find, say, the unedited video on the suspect's phone, that would be clear confirmation. Until then, it could really be any young male Arabic speaker wearing German-made towels.

[@MoHasYoutube]

Honestly this sounds to me like the suspect is mentally ill and carried out this attack without any motivations other than his delusions. IS may have then attempted to claim responsibility to score points but the suspect could have been just a case of an unfortunate failure of mental health support systems

[@gwaptiva]

Worse, the way IS operate is very pernicious: they are indeed trying to rile up the "native" populations of western countries against Muslims, just so they start making the lives of ordinary muslims more difficult, thereby making it easier for IS and others to radicalise those muslims. The spiral goes ever on until we stop letting individual cases lead to general suspicion. We don't do this with hundreds of cases of anti-constitutional fascist behaviour in the police force ("Einzelfälle!!"), we shouldn't do this here either.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

That could well be true, but it is conjecture.

[@rewboss]

The lack of proper psychological care for traumatized war refugees is a serious concern, but it is a known fact that IS is radicalizing young Muslims via the internet. Intelligence agencies are monitoring these networks, but it's difficult and there's likely a lot that goes by unnoticed. It's probably a combination of these things: the easiest people to radicalize are those who have psychological issues that can be exploited.

One thing that bugs me about the whole story: The aim of the really really extreme islamists is that they want to get to their paradise ASAP. Everything in this world sucks compared to the realm of 72 deflorations (To which Lemmy Kilmister would reply with the question what he's supposed to do on the second day of eternity.). Why would a Jihadi who has gone all in and is basically knocking on heaven's door with a killing spree not collect his ultimate reward? What motivates him to survive such an attack and live in misery in a prison? That makes me doubt this attack was really by islamitic motivation. The only calculus that makes any sense there is that life in a German prison is better for him than life in Syria. That probably is quite wrong, and after a prison sentence, he'll be on a plane to Syria instantly.

It's obvious, that they still don't want to deal with it, but the increasing pressure from the upcoming elections are forcing them to make at least some token moves. Well, we'll see. But I'm very worried, personally. The consequences this divide in the population could have for our society is far more serious than the actual threat from terrorists. Not to downplay that.

This kind of incident is being used more and more in the social networks, as I know it from history from the pamphlets in the Thirty Years' War, where Turks in particular were used as an enemy image, which stands for the other, the foreign, which embodied the barbaric and violent. Not yet on KZbin, but elsewhere, especially 9gag is running hot with memes that, like these old pamphlets, reinforce opinions by often repeating these opinions, where simple stereotypes are built up.

Whether he was a terrorist or not, the question Europeans have to ask themselves is this: Is the cheap labor provided by mass immigration worth it? All politics aside, that is the question.

[@rewboss]

It's not really the question in this case, because he's not allowed to work. He's been granted the protection of the German state, not a work visa.

[@80sRockHead]

@@rewboss True. In his case he was not allowed to work, but, in general governments like immigration because it expands the labor pool. That is especially true here in America where many immigrants don't have a work visa but work anyways. In Europe, I realize it may be a bit different, but only a bit, since the same international corporations that lobby the government in Washington also lobby the EU in Brussels. So the policies and outcomes in both places are going to be similar.

[@marge2548]

@@80sRockHead It's only true for America. It does not apply for most EU countries at all. Reason is that there is such a difference in income between various EU States (which are basically independent Nations), that the EU has their own pool of cheap labourers included (who are per definition free to travel) and do hardly need immigration from outside Europe.

[@80sRockHead]

@@marge2548 Good point. I was looking at this from an American perspective where the immigration system has been broken for decades and politicians from neither side want to fix it. I realize alot of the immigrants in Europe are leaving war torn areas. I was at the HBF in Munich a number of years ago and saw it first hand. Immigrants were getting off the train from Italy escaping the fighting in Northern Africa.

[@marge2548]

@@80sRockHead They are indeed escaping both wars and poverty. A friend of mine lives in Senegal (in Africa), and there, people recruit promising young men for the traffickers, claiming they are recruiters, as there would be work aplenty in Europe. Families spend all their money to send them over. And they just can‘t or won’t believe that this is all lies. And since their families have put much hope and money in them, they dare not go back once they are here, and do cheap, often illegal work - similar to the illegal immigrants in the US. However, as I wrote earlier, given EU circumstances, this is not even secretly approved by anyone. The gap the US fill by letting immigrants in does not exist in the EU in the same way.

This is made even worse by online censorship, which can make those pesky people that disagree with you go away for good, unlike in real life, where you are at least somewhat forced to listen to and engage with all kinds of people in public.
