After 6 months, Afghan "Allahu akbar!" killer finally charged

How time flies and how quickly we forget! Last February, Walt brought you news from Munich, Germany of a horrific attack by a Jihadi wannabe which took the lives of a two-year-old girl and her 37-year-old mother. See "'Allahu akbar!' in German... just in time for the election" WWW 13/2/25 and "Munich Islamic terror attack UPDATE" 14/2/25.

The general election came and went, and a cobbled-together coalition of leftists and centrists pipped Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) at the post. Apparently the Germans have yet to realize that that the Muslim fanatics really are out to kill them and all the other infidels.

The lickspittle media buried the Munich attack (and others) below the fold, and people forgot. These things have become so common that we don't even bother to search for a follow-up any more. The jihadi wannabes are usually portrayed as "lone wolves", not really part of the Islamic war on the west, and the perpetrators are rarely convicted, let alone deported to whence they came.

So it was a bit of a surprise today when Euronews reported that German authorities have, at long last, laid murder charges against the man who murdered the little girl and her mother, and injured 44 others in the car-ramming rampage.

The man, an Afghan national identified only as Farhad N., was arrested immediately after the attack during a labour union demonstration. He came to Germany as one of the asylum-seekers so beloved of Angela Merkel and other politicians suffering from white guilt. (The German version of this diseasis especially virulent, which accounts for the outcome of the above-mentioned election.)

Prosecutors say Herr N. was motivated by "a desire to avenge the suffering of Muslims." Ah yes, all those poor refugee and sylum-seekers... millions of them... still being fed and housed by the no-longer-Nazi German people. 

"The accused committed the act out of excessive religious motivation," the prosecutorssaid in the statement. He believed he was obliged to attack and kill randomly selected people in Germany in response to the suffering of Muslims in Islamic countries." Makes sense, no? No!

Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, the Christian season of fasting and penance in preparation for Easter. In many nominally Christian countries, people mark the day before a season of sobriety with carnivals and other events of gaiety, costumes, bibulousness, fun and frolic. 

There's the famous carnival in Brazil and, of course, Mardi Gras down in the Big Easy. Pre-Lenten carnival celebrations are traditional in Germany too, where the carnival season goes by different names: Karneval, Fasching, and Fastnacht. While all three stem from the same pre-Lenten tradition, each region in Germany has its own customs.

Alas, there will be no Karneval, Fasching or Fastnacht in Munich, Germany, this year. Authorities have cancelled the traditional carnival celebrations following the Islamic terror attack on a demonstration in the city that left two dead and 39 injured. 

Officials in the Bavarian capital announced on 19 February that neither the "Nonsense Thursday" event, which was to be held on February 27th, nor the Shrove Tuesday celebration will take place this year. A third carnival event in the city's central pedestrian zone has also been cancelled. 

Need we tell you why? In a statement released six days after the horrific attack on a crowd of innocent people, city officials said they had not taken the decision lightly but "as a city family it is unimaginable for us to light-heartedly celebrate carnival after the attack and especially after the deaths of our colleague and her daughter." 

So the cancellation was an act of mourning, then? Noooo. Security concerns were the true reason. In recent months, Germany has seen an unprecedented spate of terrorist attacks by Muslim immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers. 

On 23 August 2024, a Syrian immigrant allegedly killed three people and injured eight in a stabbing attack on a "Festival for Diversity" [sic] in Solingen, for which Islamic State claimed responsibility. 

On 20 December 2024, a Syrian immigrant rammed a vehicle into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, leaving six people dead and 300 injured.

This past January 22nd, an Afghan asylum-seeker stabbed a two-year-old child and a 41-year-old man to death in Aschaffenburg, where carnival parades have also been put on hold. 

The German people have noticed, as witness the spectacular rise of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) in February's election. Commenting on the decision to cancel the Munich events, columnist Julian Reichelt pointed out the irony of a standard phrase uttered almost daily by German politicians over the past few years: "We will not let Islamists change our way of life."

To Angela Merkel, Fred Merz and the others who keep saying there's no problem with mass immigration, Walt says: Ist Ihnen nicht aufgefallen, dass sich Ihr Lebensstil bereits verändert hat? Und nicht zum Besseren.

VIDEOS: V-P J.D. Vance speaks frankly about security and free speech

Still catching up after much time spent amongst the winter's snows. In Munich, Germany, on February 14th, Vice-President Vance delivered one of the best speeches of his life. This was within hours of yet another Islamic terrorist attack, and J.D. pulls no punches in speaking truth to the European liberal elites about "the enemies within" our Western civilization. Only 20 minutes, a must watch.

This video is closing on 1.5 million views on YouTube, and deservedly so. You'll find a transcript on the YT page, useful in following along. 

Were the Euro-wienies paying attention? We're coming down to crunch time on Russia's war of aggression against the Ukraine, and on the vital question of European security. Thanks to President Trump's new approach to foreign policy, we're on the verge of a new Cold War. Time for the fence-sitters to jump one way or another.

Munich Islamic terror attack UPDATE

Some readers of liberal disposition [Yes, we do have a few of those. Ed.] have asked why we keep starting the headlines with "Allahu akbar!" when we don't know... yet... anything to suggest that the attackers are Muslims, let alone Islamic terrorists. Well, we go with our suspicions, which haven't yet been found to be unfounded. [Trust that's clear. Ed.]

The latest case in point is the horrific attack in Munich described in "'Allahu akbar!' in Germany", WWW 13/2/25. We noted that the German cops quickly identified the perp as an asylum-seeker from Afghanistan, welcome to the Fatherland by Angela Merkel's minions. However, they said at that time that they didn't know what his motivation was. 

Were we wrong to jump to the usual conclusion? NO! Today, The Times (UK) fills in the blanks in a story headlined "Munich attack suspect named as Afghan fitness influencer". Yeah, so? The truth comes out in the lede: "German authorities have arrested Farhad Noori — who flexed oiled muscles in Instagram and TikTok posts — and believe car-ramming was motivated by Islamism." Quelle surprise!

In case you're behind the paywall, here's more of the Times story. The emphasis is Walt's.

"A man suspected of attempted mass murder after a car was driven into a crowd in central Munich has been named as Farhad Noori, a competitive bodybuilder with tens of thousands of followers on social media. The authorities say they believe the car-ramming was motivated by Islamism. 

"Noori, an Afghan who came to Germany in 2016, described himself online as a 'fitness model' and posted selfies flexing his oiled muscles and posing with cars including a white Mini Cooper similar to the one reportedly used in Thursday's attack. 

"He has 68,000 followers on Instagram and 32,800 on TikTok, and his grinning persona online does not appear to fit the profile of a radical Islamist with a grudge against the West. However, Munich’s top prosecutor, Gabriele Tilmann, said on Friday that she believed there was an “Islamist motivation” to the attack. Noori faces possible charges of attempted murder in 36 cases and causing dangerous bodily harm. 

"'After the crime, the accused said 'Allahu Akbar' to police officers and then prayed after his arrest,' Tilmann told a news conference in Munich on Friday. She said that during a two-hour interrogation on Thursday he admitted he had driven into the crowd deliberately. 'He gave a reason for this, which I would now summarise as a religious motivation. I can’t quote from the interrogation of the accused here...but what he said about it suggests a religious motivation for the crime.'"

"Allahu akbar!" in Germany... just in time for the election

A federal election will be held in Germany on February 23rs to elect the 630 members of the 21st Bundestag. German lefties, wokesters and "anti-Nazis" are soiling their shorts in fear that Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) will emerge strong enough to form a government, even without the co-operation of other parties. 

The lickspittle press, especially DW (the state broadcaster), characterizes AfD as "far right", "neo-Nazi", yada yada yada, because the main plank in their platform is to repatriate -- send back where they came from -- the hordes of Muslim invaders who have flooded into the Fatherland thanks to Angela Merkel and her successors. 

Why do they want the follwers of the Religion of Peace (TM) to go back to the Middle East and Africa? Because of incidents such as happened last night in Munich, when a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker drove straight into a group of people injuring at least 28, some seriously.

Die Polizei, usually politically correct about crimes committed by Muslim invaders, were quick to say they are treating the incident as a "suspected attack". No shit, Schultz! The car accelerated before running into the crowd at a trade union rally. An officer fired one shot at the suspect before he was arrested.

Just a union-buster, maybe? Errr, no. The suspect, who police now say was known to them, was a poster boy for DEI and mass immigration. The unnamed [Shurely not "Mohammed"? Ed.] driver was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker with a record of theft and drug offences.

Walt is sure Mohammed (or Abdul or Omar...whatever) is not typical of the millions of poor and oppressed Muslims making their way towards Europe (and America too!) in search of a better life. Please don't listen to the Islamophobic tirades of the AfD and other racists and white supremacists. The followers of the Prophet come in peace... don't they?

Muslims cause more trouble in Europe and Middle East

Walt has returned from a long and blissful weekend on an island far removed from the hurly-burly of politics, race riots and Islamic terrorism. (See? Unlike the Prez, I calls it by its name, as I sees it!) I cut myself off from TV and the Internet. It didn't really matter because I knew, even before it happened, what the news would be.

Donald Trump was officially chosen as the Republican candidate for the presidensity. The lamestream media found further "evidence" of his unsuitability in the speech given by his current other half, about 6% of which seems to have been lifted from a speech given by Mrs 0 eight years ago. So what. There's no copyright in ideas, and how many different ways can you say people should work hard, dare to dream, keep their promises -- did Mrs 0 really say that? -- yada yada yada. Big deal.

In Armpitistan this weekend, ISIS claimed responsibility for a "joint suicide bombing" Saturday that killed dozens of people during a peaceful demonstration by a minority group in Kabul. An Afghan freelance journalist told CNN, "I saw tens of people laying [sic] down in blood around me and hundreds of people running away from the scene." So far, 80 corpses and more than 260 wounded people were taken to hospitals in the Afghan capital, according to a spokesthingy for the Afghan Health Ministry. I'm not sure what a "joint suicide bombing" is. Maybe people should stay out of those joints!

And today in Iraq -- pronounced "Ee-rak", please, not "Eye-rak" -- terror struck the streets of Baghdad yet again after a suicide bombing killed at least 21 people in a residential neighbourhood. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Kadhimiya, which injured more than 35 others. The claim by ISIS was released by the terror group's media wing Amaq and on pro-ISIS social media accounts circulated by its supporters. The attack came just weeks after the deadliest terror attack in war-weary Baghdad in years, when a suicide truck bomb plowed into a busy shopping district killing almost 300, most of whom were co-religionists of the Islamic terrorists.

Muslim troubles continue in Germany too, where terrorists, either inspired by or working with ISIS, continued apparently random attacks. There was the massacre in Munich on Friday, the work of a "German-Iranian", whose motives were, according to the Polizei, "unclear". Then today a 21-year-old Syrian "refugee" was arrested after killing a pregnant woman with a machete. Inspector Katzenjammer said the homicide did not appear to be linked to any militant groups or designated terrorist entities. All the same, that's the second or third -- I've lost count -- killing by Muslims of Middle Eastern descent in the last week.

But, as Vince Offer used to say, wait... there's more.

Word has just reached us via the mojo wire that, in the southern German city of Ansbach, a man was killed when an explosive device he was believed to be carrying went off near an open-air music festival, injuring 10 others. Local police said that just after 10 PM local time on Sunday they were alerted to an explosion in the city centre. "A man — according to our current knowledge, the perpetrator — died" in the blast, they said in the short statement.

The German news agency DPA reported that the nearby open-air concert with some 2,500 in attendance was shut down as a precaution after the explosion. The Bavarian Interior Ministry (responsible for the police and the security of the Vaterland) told DPA that it appeared to possibly be a bombing attack, saying that there was evidence that there was a "deliberate explosion." That's good police work, boys!

So here we are again... or still.... Islamic terrorists keep killing people in Europe and the Middle East. Yet the lamestream media and the Democrats keep saying The Donald is a fascist and a madman for calling for controls on Muslims coming to America. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it? Speaking of which, the Democratic convention is set to start tomorrow in the City of Brotherly Love... well, about six miles from the city centre, actually. Expect a lot more nonsense between now and next weekend. Stay tuned.
