Not necessarily, they're saying that it could be the wrong person because he's denying having been involved.

IMO it was a daft thing for them to come out with until they are certain either way.

The unfortunate driver who was hijacked and murdered was a 37 year old Pole. It would appear from this that the atacker was carrying a gun and a knife :

It looks like the Polish driver, "Lukasz Urban, a 37-year-old father-of-one", put up quite a fight.....if we can believe accuracy of what they're releasing. (They 're saying the cab was full of blood - am presuming it's the Polish guy's blood? Guardian's live feed.)
Strange that they have not found the knife either.

I appreciate that before they have investigated this they need to warn that the attacker may still be on the loose and put out a warning for public safety ( just says that they are on high alert).
Just would have thought, due to public risk they would have been processing the lorry cab evidence/DNA testing of suspect and Polish driver throughout the night?
Obviously we're expecting too much too soon. ( Polish driver's boss says his employee's face was battered and bruised but maybe those are impact injuries and AS YET there isn't a single (Polish ) DNA link on the arrested suspect.)

The guy who ran off could be a decoy for the real perpetrator.

In which case he would be a co accused of course.

I just hope they get all the bastards involved. it is an all too common threat we are all under.

Or maybe he had nothing to do with it and just ran away as he realised that a terrorist attack had just happened and he was in possession of a brown face. Maybe it was mistaken identity. Anything is possible.

Umayyad Caliph Umar II started the requirement in the 8th century.

But it was also a requirement introduced by the Pope in 13th Century Europe
1215 the Fourth Council of the Lateran headed by Pope Innocent III ruled that Jews and Muslims must wear distinguishable dress (Latin habitus).
1222 Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton orders English Jews to wear a white band two fingers broad and four fingers long.
1227 the Synod of Narbonne, in canon 3, ruled: That Jews may be distinguished from others, we decree and emphatically command that in the center of the breast (of their garments) they shall wear an oval badge, the measure of one finger in width and one half a palm in height.
1274, Edward I of England enacted the Statute of Jewry: Each Jew, after he is seven years old, shall wear a distinguishing mark on his outer garment, that is to say, in the form of two Tables joined, of yellow felt of the length of six inches and of the breadth of three inches

Yep, could be that as well. Who knows.

But by not protesting they lay themselves open to the accusation that they are in support

So his arrest could be down to racism?

No, it was the fact he ran off which obviously aroused suspicion.

I think lost fool meant that, assuming he is innocent, the guy himself thought he might be arrested given he had dark skin and was at the scene.

Given your vigorous defence of Muslims, do you support their subjugation of women?

I think it was incredibly brave of that bystander to run after the suspect and keep him in sight, but in circumstances like that there was always going to be room for doubt. There must have been loads of people running away from that scene, and the lorry had just taken a lot of the lights out too. I'm hoping that they've got the right person and physical evidence can be found to confirm it.

No, I supported their objective but not their methods

They said it's possible he could be the wrong guy because he's denying it.

Any muslim who speaks out against fundamentalism is placing their life in danger. Look what happened to that poor shopkeeper in Glasgow

In any case why should all muslims have to condemn it. Irish people should not have to condemn the ira for fear they'd be held responsible for the acts of a few evil people who do not represent all of them.

No, German media have reported that his DNA doesn't match that found in the truck.

The comparison becomes more accurate then.

Interesting.

Do you have the link for that?

Can I add that the Nazis didn't leave female homosexuals alone. They considered criminalising them, but women were not that important anyway so they didn't bother. However lesbians who didn't hide away were considered to be 'anti-social' (because of the producing children thing you mention) and some ended up in concentration camps where many worked in brothels (the Nazis thought sex would cure them).

Yes. In fact nineteenth century England though about the same thing when it produced the repugnant Criminal Law Amendment Act. But the male legislators didn't believe such a thing existed (despite the new science of sexology) and though such women merely mentally ill.

Sure.

Ah right, the man himself would be paranoid.

Accused by who? Racists?

If you don't protest you support ISIS? These have been loads of protests even near where I live yet you won't see it on the news.

Yes.

I noticed they said that bollards would now be set up at market places in Germany. I believe we've had them for a little while now in certain areas, for this purpose.

I'm presuming ours have been impact tested, and theirs will be as well.

The lorry through the crowd tactic is a bit of a departure from the usual suicide bomber.
