Summary
The suspect in the deadly Christmas market car attack in Magdeburg, Germany, has been identified as Taleb A., a 50-year-old Saudi doctor and ex-Muslim who voiced Islamophobic views and supported the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
The attack killed five people and injured 200.
Authorities believe Taleb was motivated by anti-Islam sentiment, criticizing German tolerance toward Islamists and claiming the government targets Saudi asylum seekers.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser confirmed his Islamophobia but said further investigation is ongoing.
Taleb has also faced prior legal disputes over defamation.
I’ve got to say, even Islamic terrorism makes more sense as an ideology than whatever this guy is on about… Terrorising your fellow citizens else Islam will get them. How does that even make sense?
In general right wingers / fascists are completely non-sensical and contradictory in their ideology and actions.
What percent of the country would you consider to be right wing/ fascist?
