Islamization of the West

A Syrian asylum seeker has pleaded guilty to killing three people and wounding 10 others in a knife attack at a festival in Germany last year.

Issa Al Hasan, 27, admitted his guilt as his trial began at the higher regional court in Düsseldorf.

The attack, which took place at a street festival celebrating the western city of Solingen’s 650th anniversary in August 2024, was later claimed by the Islamic State group.

A little while back, the progressive, man-hating feminist movement produced what they surely thought was a “gotcha” condemnation for men—it was a social media trend where women would announce whether they’d rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear…with a vast majority of women settling on the bear, highlighting “the fear of male violence.” (Never mind that many of these women were completely untouchable, as if the average man would ever desire to assault them, even given the license in a desolate forest.)

Instead of working to protect citizens from Islamist terror, the priority of the German establishment is to warn that terror must not be “instrumentalized” by populists.

Early Sunday morning, Germany was hit by Islamist terror—again. Five people were severely injured, two critically, in a knife attack. The perpetrator, identified as a 35-year-old Syrian refugee, was finally tracked down and arrested by police on Tuesday, 42 hours later. He reportedly entered Germany illegally two years ago. Fellow residents at his asylum shelter told reporters he maintained close connections to Islamist circles—a claim supported by evidence found in his room during the police investigation.

Germany, that much is clear, is in deep trouble. And its establishment—though the police have done a commendable job hunting down the perpetrator—remains unable to get a grip on the persistent terrorist threat.
