No it won't, but if and when normally law abiding Germans unlawfully, but understandably, crack and begin to kick Muslim ass because of this, it plays well to the folks back home, who are told, "see, this is what the West does to our brothers and sisters, come get measured for your suicide vest, or take HGV driving lessons."
You think that Islamic terrorists' aim is to gaud people into "kicking Muslim ass"?

No doubt the lefty ostriches like Lilly Allen will be weeping for the poor families over this terrible, tragic accident. And normal service is resumed.

Or they'll be on here sneering at people who call a quacking bird a duck as expertly demonstrated earlier in the thread.

Apparently the German police have told people to go home and stop spreading rumours as it may have been an accident.

No words. Just no words at all.

What is the point of these people doing this, they must be mentally ill?
You know i've seen this peddled on the news of late that any muslim who follows an extreme version of that faith and commits acts of terror because of those believes must be mentally Ill..??? rather than just being simply a religious zealot, i suppose going by that analogy there must be millions of mentally ill people in the middle east then.

Nonsense. The advice from the German police was to stay indoors, and anyone who has information to contact them rather than spreading rumours.

So is it actually confirmed as terrorism, as an accident of this type isn't unheard of.

I expect like any normal feeling person she will be very upset at this tragedy but was does Lefty Ostrich have to do with anything?

I did watch the video, and all I can say is well done to all those people who stopped to tend or comfort those that were injured - it was an horrific situation
What i find incredible is how calm everyone is. Don't mean it in a bad way, btw

All reports saying it was deliberate and not an accident. Yet to be confirmed as terrorism (or not).

Yes not really such a stretch .... for most people anyway.

Police have now blocked a street off and checking out a suspicious item.

Islamic terrorism is jihad, isn't it? I don't think that, as Tony suggested, they do this in order that other Muslims get their asses kicked though.

Rubbish! That is NOT what the German police have said. They have asked people to stay at home (to stop clogging the roads and keep the streets free), and to not spread rumours,.

Look for yourself:

There are no words that would even come close to describe what a truly awful and heartbreaking situation this is. Innocent people going about their day, at the time of year that makes people happy and full of festive cheer.

For whatever reason behind the lorry incident, those innocent souls have lost their lives, and many have injuries. My thoughts are with that have died, for those that are injured, and for the loved ones of all of those involved.



I share your heartbreak. All my family were at The Manchester Christmas Markets yesterday. It was a great day out, so festive and with a great atmosphere. The thought that a similar incident could have happened there is unthinkable.

RIP to those who lost their lives, and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.

Religious zealotry is a form of mental illness anyway. You could argue that all religious belief is in some way or another.
