Summary

A 24-year-old Afghan man with suspected Islamist sympathies drove a car into a trade union demonstration in Munich, injuring at least 28 people, including children.

The suspect, identified as Farhad N, arrived in Germany as an asylum seeker and had previously posted Islamist content on social media.

Media images showed the damaged Mini Cooper, and several bodies lying on the ground which was strewn with shoes and stained with blood.

Police are investigating the incident as a possible deliberate attack, which occurred just ten days before Germany’s general elections.

    Its sad when these tragedies occur some people instead use it to push promote their right-wing beliefs (ie mass deportation). Shows that they don’t really care about the victims.

    Even worse that this is the second attack. People already hate third worlders enough :(

      I see no reason to protect some of their beliefs. If you are comming from another culture, you have to accept new rules. I was an immigrant and I got strange looks when I spoke loud on public transport, when I smoked a cigarette on the street and when I commented about specific things. I was in another land and was unable to accept their rules fully, that’s why I moved back to my country. They were right to give me those looks and made me feel unwelcome, because I was. My actions didn’t suite their society, so I realized I don’t belong there. If people started acting like me it would be a degradation for their national identity. The same way I see many immigrants in Germany. They should change their way of living or go back. If their native country is in war, then they should move to another country that shares their values. The world is huge.
