Report: German Xmas market attacker is Saudi anti-Islamist who shared pro-Israel content


The suspect in the deadly ramming at a Christmas market in Germany on Friday was an anti-Islam activist who shared pro-Israel content on social media in the wake of the October 7 attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the Journal report, the suspect, a Saudi national who had moved to Germany in 2006, ran a website and social media channels warning against Islam and discussing women’s rights, as well as posting content in support of Israel.

He also showed support for Germany’s far-right anti-immigration AfD party, the report said.

This guy is just the wildest mixture of things. Pretty much everything you hear is somewhat contradictory. It seems he is just straight up insane - tangled up in trauma, confusion, anger, lies and conspiracy theories
in reply to UnfortunateShort

He was wrong, but Im not sure he had contradictory beliefs.

The only thing that stands out IMO is him being for AfD - but that makes sense if you note that anti-immigration sentiment among ex-muslims when it shows up is actually specifically against muslim immigration, not immigration in general (Im exmuslim and spent a bunch of time in online exmuslim spaces).

He ran a forum to help atheist Saudis seek asylum, and his last tweets were among other things anger at the German failure to help Saudi asylum seekers. Clearly not anti-immigration.

GNOME User Sharing Ported From C To Rust, libadwaita Adds Adaptive Preview Mode

It's not only KDE seeing nice improvements ahead of the holidays but GNOME developers were also busy this week preparing new improvements to their open-source desktop stack. There's been some rather exciting changes on the GNOME front as we prepare to cap off the year...

Gaza’s Civil Defense reported on Saturday that Israeli forces killing Palestinians and leaving their bodies in the streets where stray dogs feed on them is a clear violation of international law.

In a statement, the Civil Defense explained that Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted rescue teams and ambulances, specifically when they attempt to approach the bodies of those killed.

Pope Francis on Saturday again condemned Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, a day after an Israeli government minister publicly denounced the pontiff for suggesting the global community should study whether the military offensive there constitutes a genocide of the Palestinian people.

The pope is usually careful about taking sides in conflicts, but he has recently been more outspoken about Israel's military campaign against Hamas.

TIL PyPI will reject a package upload if it has a "Private :: Do Not Upload" trove classifier. This is cool! I'll add this to the Insiders versions of my projects 🙂 Unless other registries reject it as well 🤔

I'm only tangentially involved in the #Linux #community these days.

I'm a lazy user for the most part. I used to report #bugs regularly in the old days.

In fairness there aren't nearly as many bugs now and I haven't come across one that inconvenienced me in quite a while.

But I am still impressed by how helpful and non judgmental this community is to new arrivals.

This community never judges its #users. I wish we could transfer that to other areas of public life.
