    How about refraining from making any accusations regarding this tragedy for a few hours until there's been more information released? Let's stick to the victims as people justifiably point out, for now.

    This is what is so disgusting about the recent Muslim terrorism in Germany. Germany - more than any other country - opened their borders to accept all these refugees, and yet Germany is the target of their terror.

    And even many of the more “moderate“ ones act like condescending a**holes instead of thanking our country. A friend of mine volunteered as a teacher for refugees and at first they acted extremely thankful and tolerant. Now that they've settled in a bit, many of them begin to speak up against our culture and demand that we stop celebrating Christmas etc.

    One of these idiots posted a hateful video two days ago and stated how it's wrong to celebrate Christmas, that we should stop following our traditions and embrace the “truth“ aka Islam.

    Two days later this happens, g.r.e.a.t.
    Unbelievable how intolerant and hateful so many of these guys are, brainwashed to the fullest from birth.

    You'd think people fleeing from war would be forever grateful and never talk bad about their host country, but nuh uh.

    It's all Merkel's fault. All these refugees she let in, a lot of them must be terrorists.

    Thoughts and prayers to the victims, and then to the many scared citizens who feel their hearts closing, and then to those frightened refugees who are actually trying to do the right thing and appreciate their new host country (whatever their number may be).

    Our species is not coping well with the 21st century, and I kind of wish I had never seen the movie Children of Men. :oops:

    The incident in Berlin is the latest in a string of attacks in Germany over the past 7 months.

    July 2016
    On July 24, a Syrian suicide bomber injured 15 people in an attack on a music festival in Ansbach. He left behind a video pledging allegiance to ISIS.
    Days earlier, nine people were killed in Munich by an 18-year-old gunman with dual German and Iranian nationality. The gunman committed suicide. His motives were unclear.
    Four days prior to that, an immigrant teen, apparently inspired by ISIS, stabbed five passengers on a train in Bavaria. Police shot the teenager, an Afghan refugee who was armed with a knife and an ax.
    June 2016
    Three Syrian men were arrested in June on suspicion of planning a terror attack on Dusseldorf on behalf of ISIS.
    May 2016
    A German man killed one person and injured three others in a May knife attack at a train station in Bavaria. Witnesses told police the attacker had shouted out "Allahu akbar" and "Infidels must die" as he carried out the attacks. But intelligence services said they knew of no link between him and Islamist networks.

    No we are not. These attacks have been successful in generating fear and moving people towards a clash of civilizations.

    Looks like the truck driver is a Pakistani national who came to Germany as a "refugee" in February 2016. The dead passenger might be the Polish guy who was driving the truck before it got stolen. Might have been murdered by the Pakistani.

    Hey remember when they were letting every towards the border into Europe, one of the major concerns was non Syrians, like Pakistanis and Afghans extremists mixing in and going through as well. That was all dismissed because #NoBorder.

    Can't wait for people to spin this to blame it on Trump or something
