SAUDI National Attacks German Christmas Market — Divided Reactions Tell The Bigger Story
Are we so conditioned not to speak ill of Islam that we can no longer condemn premeditated murder?
The aftermath of 9/11 set up an unexpected precedent. Even examples of religiously-motivated mass murder were accompanied by warnings against whipping up ‘islamophobia’.
Let us leave aside, for a moment, the use of that word is heavily leveraged by a group founded by hostile activists with the express purpose of manipulating American public discourse. Per ‘Hudson Institute‘:
What we DO notice, however is how effective that and similar tactics have been in blunting even justifiable outrage in the West, for fear of being branded a bigot.
The Crime Itself
Germans on Saturday mourned the victims of an apparent attack in which authorities say a doctor drove into a busy outdoor Christmas market, killing five people, injuring 200 others and shaking the public’s sense of security at what would otherwise be a time of joy.
The alleged attack Friday evening in Magdeburg, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of Berlin, killed a nine-year-old and four adults and injured 41 people badly enough that authorities warned the death toll could rise.

The driver, a 50-year-old doctor who immigrated from Saudi Arabia in 2006, surrendered to police at the scene. He’s being investigated for five counts of suspected murder and 205 counts of suspected attempted murder, prosecutor Horst Walter Nopens said at a news conference. —CTV
So, he’s a doctor. That makes excuses of poverty or oppression difficult for anyone looking to excuse or downplay the incident.
There’s evidence of civilian attempts to alert police to his intent to embark on a murder spree in Germany more than a year ago (image is ‘clickable’):
So a Saudi national with prior evidence of malicious intent drives his car through a Christmas market. How did the media report this?
The AP hid behind the passive voice, making it sounds as if a homicidal German automobile was on the loose:
Prompting jokes about a certain old-school Disney property.
“A car” did it not a driver.

CNN, which is suffering from record low ratings reminded us why their ratings are in the toilet by bringing us this insightful commentary:
Saudi National runs over German nationals at a Christmas market… naturally CNN goes straight for the ‘right-wing terrorist’ narrative.
CNN says that a right-winger may have committed this atrocity in Germany, even though we know it was a man from Saudi Arabia.
Legacy media continues lying itself into oblivion.https://t.co/gFqU0G1cOS

Meanwhile, in Germany this has sparked two kinds of protests:
The River-to-the-sea crowd showed up, repeating exactly the same talking points the news just made about ‘backlash’ from the Germans.
WATCH⚡️
Pro-Palestinians are holding protests across Germany.
“Our main concern right now is the safety of the German Muslim population, who are being targeted by far-right groups,” they stated. pic.twitter.com/Zn3IN6bwiY

Someone should tell them that line was funnier when Norm MacDonald delivered it:

The OTHER protest is from Germans who are just about fed up.

This attack was spectacularly bad timing for anyone wanting to maintain the establishment status quo.
The establishment government just lost a non-confidence vote and Germany is in the midst of an election. There’s a chance they could pick a leader whose idea of border security looks much more like Trump’s than Merekel’s.
If that happens?
Let’s just say life gets interesting over there in a hurry.
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
