BBC and some German newspapers like Spiegel are "censoring" the guy's name in a very special way - they call him David and ignore the "Ali" in his name.

5 0 5 0 Dispatch Unit, this is Williams We've got another ex muslim male crying wolf, playing the victim Claims the instruments of attack are news sites such as BBC and the NY Times Directly go against the word of Allan and are blasphemous Even though he's no longer a "muslim" Want us to search his place ~~Roger that, check him out Later, po po would find large amounts of c4 and homemade clocks in Fatima Chowd 311's garage, in addition to 6 hard drive's of erotic child p*rn of the boy variety, something he claims did not know was illegal. His defense? Cultural misunderstanding. Meanwhile, the only threats to have been heard from H Biddly's pad were that of one former Miss Colombia, dripping with pleasure and screaming for more. Papi ...Papi... how you do it so good? Aye Caramba you better ring me Chulo. His triweekly reward, for keeping up the fight against hatred and intolerance from the weasels . . . who crawl in the shadows.
Also interesting so many places are calling him German-Iranian when, according to American practice, it should be Iranian-German, shouldn't it?
Never thought about that. In German, we would say German-Iranian (or German-American, or whatever). Darknet.
I always find this stuff curious. Do the people who write these articles - are they ignorant or do they just pretend to be? Which are you? Let's get real - the refugees go through a 2 year vetting process speaking to many agencies and background checks - it is not easy to come to the U.S. as a refugee - we are not Europe. So why the comparison? A terrorist would not apply as a refugee to get access to the u.s. No, they would come in on a visa. You do understand this right?
I understand the desire not to give these guys more publicity but I think not reporting their names, motivations and etc.. would actually be worse. It will lead to a lot of (really more) conspiracy theories and speculations about why the media isn't reporting such basic information. People seeking fame for misdeeds has been around since the Trojan War. The media not reporting on these sick individuals I don't think will reduce and given how many information sources we have such information will still get out. In a sick twist the mainstream media not reporting these peoples names and motivations might make some out there more interested in emulating them.
An Afghan teen has been arrested as an accomplice to the Munich massacre. This clearly suggests this was a conspiracy and not a "lone gunman" attack. Also, as far as the possibility that this person from Afghanistan was not a Muslim either, and was not motivated by radical Islamic jihadist ideas, while that is not impossible, it clearly does not pass the smell test. But it will certainly be expected that many on the left will rush to make that case, regardless of the facts in this instance.
So - multiple islams involved ... but islam ain't got nothing to do with it. No Allahu Akbar chants heard. -german guilt from 45 The more you get to know muslims, the less excuses you'll put up with. The mass bloodshed by them, and between them, is no random coincidence. It's deeply embedded into who they are.
there are countries with like 40,50 or even 80% of population are temporary immigrants , or other places filled with millions of war refugees ...why all the violence directed to certain places in EU! There must be something ..
It was a 20-something Syrian national who detonated the backpack, fortunately he was unable to get into the music festival or LOTS more people would have been hurt. Man I wouldn't want to be a German leader who just let a ton of Syrians into the country.
i feel sorry for the germans. they probably contributed the least out of nato countries to the chaos in middle east but ended up with the most refugees. this is just the beginning and you can't do anything about it.
