- Perpetrator revealed as an ex-Muslim with a history of anti-Islamic and anti-religious rhetoric
- A follower of far-right figure Tommy Robinson and a vocal admirer of Israel and Judaism
Berlin, Germany – A Christmas market in Germany was tragedy struck when a car rammed into the bustling crowd, killing two people, including a child. Initially described as a Saudi refugee, the perpetrator’s identity revealed a far more complex and troubling story: he was an ex-Muslim who harbored an obsessive hatred for Islam.
While the incident sparked immediate outcry from Zionist groups and far-right commentators, eager to frame it as another case of religious extremism, the truth about the driver exposed the hypocrisy and opportunism behind their narratives.
Ex-Muslim’s Path of Hatred
Far from being a practicing Muslim, the driver was an outspoken ex-Muslim whose social media activity was filled with vitriolic posts targeting Islam. Investigators uncovered years of tweets where he derided Islamic beliefs and praised figures who insulted religious traditions (eg. The Swedish Qur’an burner, “Apus” etc). His profile depicted a man driven by animosity, not religious devotion.
Far-Right Connections Exposed
Tommy Robinson’s Follower
One of the most startling revelations was the driver’s connection to Tommy Robinson, the UK’s infamous far-right figure. Robinson, known for his relentless attacks on Islam, was found to be following the man on Twitter. This connection has raised eyebrows, with many questioning why Robinson would associate with someone so openly hateful. Could this be a case of shared ideological alignment, where Islamophobia unites even the most unlikely figures?
Pro-Israel Fanaticism
The perpetrator’s tweets also revealed an unwavering admiration for Israel, a sentiment he frequently expressed online. In one post, he described Israel as “a beacon of hope and strength.” Critics argue that his alignment with Zionist ideals likely contributed to his animosity towards Islam and may have influenced his violent act.
Targeting Christian Beliefs
Adding to the shock, the driver was also vocal in his disdain for Christianity. In a now-viral tweet, he praised a rabbi for insulting Mary, revered in Christianity and Islam alike. The timing of the attack—during the festive Christmas season—has led many to speculate that it was no coincidence but a deliberate choice fueled by his anti-religious agenda.
The Hypocrisy of Hate
The initial narrative, fueled by Zionist and far-right commentators, quickly unraveled as these revelations came to light. Those who eagerly pointed fingers at Muslims as a whole have fallen conspicuously silent about the perpetrator’s identity as an ex-Muslim.
Critics have called out this double standard, highlighting how the far-right has consistently exploited tragedies to push their anti-Muslim agenda while ignoring violence stemming from their own ideological allies.
The Bigger Picture
This incident underscores the dangers of weaponizing tragedies for political gain. The driver’s actions were not rooted in religious faith but in a deeply personal vendetta against it. His identity as an ex-Muslim, combined with his connections to far-right figures and Zionist ideology, reveals a disturbing pattern of hatred that transcends borders, faiths, and political affiliations.
For the families of the victims, the loss is immeasurable. As the investigation continues, the tragedy at the Christmas market serves as a grim reminder that hatred, no matter its source, is a threat to all.
