Germany: 5 arrested for suspected Christmas market plot

German authorities have arrested five men suspected of planning an attack on a Christmas market, the Munich public prosecutor's office said Saturday.
The foiled plot was targeting a Christmas market in the area of Dingolfing in the southern German state of Bavaria, German authorities said. The exact name of the market that was the target of the foiled plot has not yet been specified by authorities.
The Munich public's prosector's office said that four of the men had been issued formal arrest warrants, with the other individual in preventative custody.
German authorities are suspecting that the attack plans were based on an Islamist motive and that it would be carried out by car. The suspects include a 56-year-old Egyptian, a 37-year-old Syrian and three Moroccans aged 22, 28 and 30.

Pretty certain this thread is just copium because of well...you know.

Poor Derec with his sad little

Derec, do you go to bed every night stewing over eviiiiiiil Muslims?

 

[pood]

Hey, Derec, we already know that sometimes people of every faith, race, ethnicity, etc., commit or plan to commit atrocities. The next time a white guy shoots up a school (which seems to be the standard profile for a school shooter) shall we start a thread “White Man of Peace shoots up school”?

 

[pood]

Let’s trot out some of these:

White Man of Peace enslaves Africans

White Man of Peace commits genocide against native Americans

White Man of Peace drops atomic bombs on innocent civilians in Japam

White Man of Peace commits genocide against Jews and others

White Man of Peace carpet bombs and drops Agent Orange on Vietnamese

And on and on.

It is fascinating how in a board largely (but not entirely) populated by atheists, we are told often and repeatedly how good Muslims are and how criticism of them is nothing more than a hobby horse.

It is fascinating how in a board largely (but not entirely) populated by atheists, we are told often and repeatedly how it is a good thing to demonize all Muslims for the misdeeds for a tiny percentage of them, while turning a blind eye to white male miscreants who enslaved blacks and slaughtered native Americans.

Atheists here are not defending Islam as a faith. We are objecting to stereotyping any group of people as evil. It beggars belief that some people cannot fathom this distinction,

 

[pood]

It is also fascinating how critics of Muslims seem oblivious to the repeated historical crimes of white male Christian Americans.

How about if we all acknowledge that humans everywhere, of every faith, race, ethnicity, background, etc, have committed terrible crimes and remain able to do so?

White Mam of Peace attacks political opponents and instigates death threats against them.

White Man of Peace sends National Guard into cities he dislikes.

White Man of Peace commits genocide in Gaza

White Man of Peace commits genocide in Ukraine.

Starting to think White Man of Peace ain’t so good or peaceful after all.

White Man of Peace whines he doesn’t get Nobel Peace Prize.

We live in a nation where mass killing isn't too uncommon and it is generally not religion based. But when it is, it is usually 50/50 on whether the attacker is Christian or Muslim.

In the OP, investigators helped to prevent a possible terrorist attempt of a small group of Muslims at a mass killing. Not preventing millions of Muslims from enslaving the German nation. So the broad brushing seems out of touch with current events.

Maybe the take away lesson is that Germans are better at preventing religious mass murders than the USA?

You are either very naive or you haven’t been paying attention.
