News Saudi Islam critic, fan of AfD and Elon Musk: Disturbing details about the perpetrator of Magdeburg The driver who caused the death of the Magdeburg victim - Taleb Jawad Al Abdulmohsen, came to Germany in 2006. But he is not an Islamist - on the contrary. He accused Germany of Islamizing Europe.

I think part of it may have been he wanted to make AfD more popular which well probably worked, just look at the original thread before it was locked. People were saying they’d vote AfD

Yeah, plenty of people don't wait for facts and jump the gun immediately. But to be fair, those were probably voting AfD regardless but that thread was the first time they could admit it here

Not sure why people think the fact that he was anti-islamist and right wing would be at odds with what AFD and their supporters believe.

His motivations don't really matter. He's an immigrant and he committed an act of terrorism. This can be portrayed as the government and its sympathizers letting in crazy people from arab countries either way.

Whoever was AFD or right-leaning will use this as fuel and it wouldn't even contradict their beliefs in the slightest.

Lots of people sarcastically commenting about "I wonder why they're so popular now?"

He got what he wanted, everyone made their assumptions then shut off their critical thinking skills.

Maybe im wrong, but doesnt everybody here call the AfD nazi's? This guy is a mega zionist, very pro asylum seekers as long as theyre not muslim and HATES German people. Isnt that the opposite of a nazi?

as theyre not muslim

You mean the people the AfD demonize to make people afraid and push for anti-immigration laws? Those people?

Muslims are 90% of the immigrants the AfD fearmongers about. The rest are other darker skinned folk of different ethnicities. And these are exactly the people the AfD want to persecute, among other minorities such as queer people.

And frankly, you are implying that the Nazis loved Germans when frankly, the Nazis used German women as breeding slaves and murdered any German they didn't consider 'good' enough, including but not limited to: disabled Germans, Jewish Germans, queer Germans, and the brave Germans who dared to opposed the cruel regime.

Nazis view people as property of the state. They are not loved, but exploited and discarded when they aren't useful.

No Nazi's very extremly pro ethnic German, since they thought they were genetically superior. They were of course authoritarian and did authoritarian things, but to say they werent (ethno)nationalistic is insane. AfD is also not just against muslims, they just use the anti muslim sentiment a lot since its easy votes. They are against all asylum immigration.

This is a strawman fallacy. I said that nazis don't love Germans, even if they are ethnonationalists. Their idea of racial superiority gave way to forced breeding for eugenics, massacres, and other atrocities against their own people as well.

Lol he is not actually a supporter of the AfD, it was all bullshit to throw people off. This was a man who worked to bring Asylum Seekers to Europe by building a website. He is not right-wing or AfD.

Watch these two videos about him, one is him talking about the website he built.
