Four students at Wilhelm Dörpfeld Gymnasium, a high school in the western German city of Wuppertal, were wounded in a knife attack on Thursday.
Two of the victims were being treated in intensive care for severe injuries, according to local prosecutors.
Police say they have arrested a suspect, believed to be a 17-year-old male student at the school, who sustained “life-threatening injuries.”
Tweet Translation – “The stabber from #Wuppertal , who is said to have injured at least 4 students, is said to be the 17-year-old Turk Yilmaz B.
And tomorrow in North Rhine-Westphalia, with the highest ministerial approval, we will demonstrate together against the RIGHT, as if Wuppertal had never happened.”

Weird one, someone posted he was a Satanist.
A call to condemn the most recent arson attack on a Christian church — Feb. 9 at Blessed Sacrament Church in downtown Regina — failed to gain unanimous approval in the House of Commons.
On Feb. 12, Conservative MP Corey Tochor called for unanimous consent to condemn the arson at Blessed Sacrament. Members of the Liberal-NDP governing coalition responded with “no.” Speaker of the House of Commons Greg Fergus quickly stated, “there is no unanimous consent.”

Of all of Justin Trudeau’s tweets on what we now call ‘X’ that haven’t aged well, his observation on October 17, 2013 that, “It’s hard not to feel disappointed in your government when every day there is a new scandal” has aged the worst.

With Ramadan just around the corner, a national Muslim organization and several local congregations are warning members of Parliament they won’t be welcome in their mosques until they call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, demand restoration of funding for the UN’s aid agency and condemn what they call Israel’s “war crimes.”
An open letter signed by the National Council of Canadian Muslims and a number of prominent mosques, obtained by CBC News, says MPs who refuse to make these pledges publicly will not be “provided with a platform to address our congregations.”
Doesn’t affect Justin, he converted years ago.

“A UNRWA worker kidnapped my son’s body. How can a social worker for an organization that claims to promote good in this world do something so cruel and inhumane? How can the UN pay this man who dragged my son’s limp body on the ground, and then picked him as if he was a trophy back to Gaza?” Samerano pleaded.

Islamist extremism is not being effectively tackled by the Government, the independent reviewer of Prevent has said, as he warned it was fuelling a “dangerous” surge in anti-Semitism.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, William Shawcross said the Government had failed to fully implement his proposals to overhaul Prevent, its counter terror programme, which meant the public faced an increased threat from extremists and terrorists.
He said the failure to take tougher action stemmed from a continuing bias within Prevent towards tackling the rise in Right-wing terrorism rather than the main threat of Islamist terrorism.
