Germany: Muslim migrant who murdered taxi driver for ten euros
says ‘Killing is a good thing’
SEP 2, 2023 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
His victim was a fellow Muslim, which will lead Islamic apologists in the West to insist that this killing had nothing to do with Islam. Indeed, it doesn’t seem to have been motivated by any jihad-related sentiments. But where did the accused get the idea that killing was a good thing? Could it have been from his holy book, which thrice tells him to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5) and makes it clear that killing under certain circumstances is what Allah desires? One thing is certain: no one in Germany will dare consider that question, or the implications of bringing into the country large numbers of people among whom are inevitably some who think killing is indeed a good thing.
Taxi driver killed over 10 euros – defendant under interrogation: ‘Killing is a good thing'
Translated from “Taxifahrer wegen 10 Euro getötet – Angeklagter bei Verhör: „Töten ist eine gute Sache“,”
by Laurenz Cushion, Berliner Zeitung, August 29, 2023
In room 701 of the Moabit Criminal Court at around 11 a.m., everyone present audibly held their breath. The 24-year-old defendant had actually just said: “Killing is a good thing.” He said this during an interrogation by the Berlin police with two officers and an interpreter. The recording will be played again on Tuesday on the large screen for visitors and those involved in the process. The accused admits to the charge of stabbing a taxi driver in Berlin right at the beginning of the recording.
In the early morning of April 6 this year, Maundy Thursday, shortly before Easter, the 49-year-old taxi driver was found seriously injured by a passer-by in Grunewald. He immediately provided first aid, but the taxi driver died in the hospital before noon. In addition to the family, many Berlin taxi drivers came to the funeral service for the father of a 14-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter in the Sehitlik Mosque in Berlin-Neukölln.
Even before the accused says the terrible sentence about the killing, he talks about his escape from Tunisia in 2011. He was only 13 years old when he arrived on Lampedusa in Italy with distant relatives. He hasn’t seen them since. Via France he came to Belgium, where he lived until the beginning of the year.
In order to be able to possibly explain the accused’s “extraordinary attitude” towards human life, the officials ask about the background to his escape as a seventh grader and whether he was a victim of violence in Tunisia. For both questions, the accused stated that the answers were too private.
Sitting silently on the glass dock, the suspected perpetrator also watches himself testify in the video on Tuesday morning. His defense attorney had said her client did not want to testify for the time being. He has confessed to the crime several times. Later in the recording, the accused reports that he boarded the train in Liege. His actual destination was Denmark, on the way to Oslo, Norway. The accused had killed a woman in Belgium two days earlier.
When changing trains on the way to Berlin, the accused said he had already tried to find someone at a train station between 4 and 5 a.m. on the morning of April 6. The last time he ate was at 12 noon the previous day. “When I got out, I was hungry,” he says, “I wanted to take someone’s money, kill him.” However, he didn’t find anyone on the streets, although “everyone” was an option. He was too proud to ask for money or food on the train.
In the video, the interrogating officers assumed that the alleged perpetrator got “a kick” from the killing. Finally, he declared that he had stolen the new shoes he was wearing when he was arrested in Flensburg from a Lidl. Why didn’t he steal bananas or other groceries from Lidl, asks an official, instead of killing someone? The accused says: “If you want something, you have to kill.”
The taxi driver’s children and his sister are joint plaintiffs in the process. One of her lawyers says on the sidelines of the hearing: “This act is what makes it happen out of nowhere, out of absolute coincidence, so many questions arise.” After reading out the indictment, the court gave the legal notice of the accommodation of the accused in a psychiatric hospital.
The woman in Belgium and the Berlin taxi driver were murdered with the same knife. The suspect said he had this ready in his jacket pocket when the taxi driver took him to Brahmstrasse in Berlin-Grunewald. He had already looked for the place on the map on the train because of the large green area. The two communicated in English. In the video, he says, “I’m waiting for him to stop to kill him.” Then he recounts the gruesome details of the murder.
He found his way to violence in Belgium, at least that’s what he claims. There the 24-year-old sold cocaine for a long time, he said: “This way is surrounded by murderers.” For him, it follows that killing is “a good thing thing.” He chose this path until he died. When asked if he would continue to kill, he says, “Now I’m in prison, I think I’ll sit it out.”
Only towards the end of the video does he describe the moment when the taxi driver left the car and he was alone in the car. He only found ten euros. When asked if he was satisfied with it, he said: “It was enough to fill my stomach and continue driving.” With the money he bought chips and a Capri Sun. The trial continues on September 5, and the verdict is set for September 29.
Germany: Muslim migrant stabs man because he felt insulted

What happens when you admit large numbers of people into your country who believe that violence is an appropriate and even divinely sanctioned response to provocation under certain circumstances? This:
Victim (53) stabbed at Rewe: Iranian accused of attempted murder
Translated from “Opfer (53) bei Rewe niedergestochen: Iraner wegen Mordversuchs angeklagt,”
by Mirko Voltmer, Bild, September 2, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
Hanover – A wrong look, a wrong word – Behnam Y. (40) freaked out!
At the beginning of June, the Iranian rammed a knife 20 centimeters deep into the stomach of a 53-year-old in the Rewe parking lot on Marienstrasse. The victim survived. Now the 40-year-old is about to appear before the regional court for, among other things, double attempted murder.
Crazy: Shortly before the assassination he had injured the unknown 53-year-old on a bench on the street with a knife because he had obviously felt insulted. At first he went off, but then he came back with a bigger knife…
Islamic hysteria!
A week later, the fugitive Behnam Y. was caught in the Linden district – in custody. Then it came out that the Iranian, who, according to BILD information, is the father of five children, is also responsible for the attack on a jeweler on Badenstedter Strasse. In mid-January, a masked knifeman demanded the contents of the safe from employees.
The owner and employees managed to get the robber to flee. According to the prosecutor, a DNA hit led to the trail of the 40-year-old.
In Swedish City, Women Warned Not to Wear Expensive Jewelry
Because of Migrant Gangs
SEP 3, 2023 2:00 PM BY HUGH FITZGERALD
The gangs of migrants who are behind an epidemic of street robberies in Sweden are discussed here:
Swedes urged not to wear branded clothing or jewelry amid spike in robberies
and migrant gang violence
by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, August 29, 2023:
Police in the Swedish county of Värmland have urged residents not to wear branded clothing or expensive jewelry when walking through the county’s largest city of Karlstad due to a rise in robberies and migrant gang violence.
No-Go Zones
It’s a bad idea to wear any expensive items, such as “a branded vest, gold chains, or a cap,” said Tia Jylhä, the crime prevention coordinator for Karlstad district police.
The young people referred to are primarily recruits to migrant gangs, which have surged in notoriety across Sweden in recent years, as stated by several high-ranking law enforcement officers and Magdalena Andersson when she was serving as Swedish prime minister last year.
“Integration was poor, and alongside this, we have experienced intense immigration. Our society was too weak, while money for the police and social services was too little,” Andersson said of the state of affairs that has enabled migrant gangs to thrive in Swedish cities.
The Swedes must not blame themselves for the current dismal state of affairs. “Integration is poor” because it is the Muslims who refuse to integrate into that society, for they believe themselves to be “the best of peoples,” while the Swedes, as non-Muslims, are “the most vile of created beings.” Andersson should know that the epidemic of Muslim crime in Sweden is no different from that in the rest of Western Europe, where Muslim migrant gangs are making life hell for a great many people.
“The level of violence in the capital is high, and the number of people involved is frightening. Every day, three new people join the criminal environment, often children and young people,” warned National Police Chief Anders Thornberg back in May in reference to Stockholm; however, this is happening across Sweden….
Muslims now in Sweden consist almost entirely of economic migrants who arrived to take advantage of the many benefits the generous Swedish welfare state offers: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (without the need to have a prior work record in Sweden), family allowances, and more. But to supplement these benefits, young Muslim males engage in crimes of property: street robberies and home burglaries. And they are responsible as well for a seep rise in crimes of violence, too — rapes, assaults, murders. The rate of Muslim criminality, not just in Sweden but all over Europe, is three to four times that of non-Muslims. And that is why the police in Karlstad issued their warning to the women in the city: “Don’’t wear expensive jewelry or clothing.” That’s the best they can do. Meanwhile, the politicians in Stockholm dither, and refuse to recognize what is staring them in the face. To wit: the large-scale presence of Muslims in Sweden has resulted in a situation that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for non-Muslims, than would be the case without that large-scale presence. And when they finally do comprehend the Islamic roots of the problem, only then will they pass legislation to prevent any further Muslim immigration, and work to reduce the number of Muslims who have already been allowed to live in generous, tolerant, rich, and discombobulated Sweden.
While all this is going on, an Iraqi, Salwan Momika, in June set fire to a Qur’an outside a Stockholm mosque during the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which triggered widespread condemnation throughout the Muslim world. In July, the same man stomped on and kicked a Qur’an in front of the Iraqi Embassy in Stockholm. In retaliation, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from Iraq and the withdrawal of the Iraqi charge d’affaires from Sweden. He also forced Ericsson, a Swedish company, to halt work in Iraq. But that was not enough to calm angry Iraqis; calm has not returned, either to Iraq or to other Muslim countries. The Muslim countries are demanding nothing less than the abandonment by Western democracies of the most important right of all, the one without which democracy cannot exist – free speech. The government of Sweden has distanced itself from the Qur’an burnings, calling them an “Islamophobic” act: “The Swedish Government fully understands that the Islamophobic acts committed by individuals at demonstrations in Sweden can be offensive to Muslims,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on July 23.
Muslims have no regard for Western freedoms. Unfree themselves – monarchies and despotisms prevail in the Arab and Muslim world — they do not appreciate, nor understand, what freedom of speech means, and why it is the most indispensable of rights in a democracy. The alacrity with which Sweden is ready to denounce those determined to exercise their free speech rights is disheartening. There is no need to distance themselves from those brave souls. Western countries should say only this: protecting the “freedom of speech” does not constitute “approval” of such speech. That’s enough. That’s more than enough.
Far-right militants in Greece illegally ‘arrest’ migrants
they blame for fires
Two videos posted online on August 23 show Greek members of the extreme right illegally “arresting” migrants in Evros, a Greek region bordering Turkey. The footage shows the militants forcing one group of men to sit in the dirt. Another group of terrified migrants have been crammed into a trailer. While members of the far right have carried out this type of illegal arrest of migrants before, it is rare to have footage of it. The attackers accuse the migrants of being responsible for the widespread fires in the region. These militiamen feel empowered by the political context hostile to migrants, say our Observers.
But their motivation obviously comes from the lack of effort by the state to control these migrants.

"Four more ... you see? It is noon and where are the authorities? [...] We will contact the police, but there is never any response,” rages the man filming a video posted online on August 27. While it is clear the video was filmed in the region of Evros, it’s not clear when it was filmed.
The man filming points the camera at four men, migrants, sitting on the ground in the dirt behind a Land Rover. Meanwhile, at least two other men loiter alongside the vehicle – seemingly in cahoots with the man behind the camera. At the end of the video, the man turns the camera on himself and you can see that he is bearded and wearing a black tee-shirt and camouflage pants.
The video was posted on social media by an account under the name Walandi Abrassis – likely the man who filmed it.
A video posted online a few days earlier shows a similar scene – albeit even more disturbing. The guy filming focuses the shot on his Land Rover, which has a trailer attached. When he opens the door, there are at least four men crammed inside, looking terrified.
“I've loaded up 25 of them into the trailer. Get organised, get them all out and grab them," he says. He seems to be speaking to his cronies about the migrant men in the trailer. "The whole mountain is full, guys.”
“They swore to burn us […] They will burn us, that’s all I’ll say,” he adds, this time referring to the wildfire that has been raging across the northeast of Greece, considered to be the largest ever recorded in the European Union. According to the local press, this video was filmed in Alexandroupoli, just a few kilometres from the Turkish border, the Evros River.
The website the Press Project later reported that these militia men had “arrested” 13 migrant men, not 25 as the man filming claimed. The victims told journalists that the militants had beaten them with metal rods.
“They took off all of our clothes and filmed us. We stayed there a long time, sweating and unable to breathe,” said one of the 13 men who was detained.
Greek authorities have put the man who filmed this second video under house arrest awaiting charges.
'These militia members arrest migrants but because they can’t deport them, they hand them over to police'
Panayote Dimitras is the spokesperson for the Greek Helsinki Monitor, a human rights NGO that gathers information on migrants who have been forcibly deported from Greece either by the police or civilians:
This phenomenon has existed for decades, but this time they decided to share videos of their actions themselves. This footage illustrates things that organisations like ours have been reporting for a long time. The release of the footage resulted in a deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court assigning a local prosecutor to deal with it. That said, nothing has been done about all of these illegal deportations orchestrated by Greece, even though they have been widely documented. So it is doubtful that people will be punished here. However, all of this information can be added to the files that we can give to international institutions like the European Court of Human Rights to show how that happens to migrants in the region.
We know that these militias cooperate with local police. In Evros, these militia members arrest migrants but because they can’t deport them, they hand them over to police. The police don’t report the incidents because if the migrants’ presence is recorded, then they have the right to claim asylum and can no longer be illegally deported.
Far-right parties like the Golden Dawn and the Greek Solution are trying to find support in the region and it is clear that the men in these videos have links to local far right organisations.
The man who filmed the video posted on August 27 hasn’t yet been arrested. However, he was interviewed in a far-right publication as well as on Facebook. He claimed that he was just bringing water and assistance to migrants.
Migrants blamed
On Greek social media, citizen patrol groups have been working together to chase off migrants who have crossed the border from Turkey, as shown in a report by the Press Project, which shared screengrabs of a conversation on Viber. Leaders of the far right openly blamed the fires on migrants travelling through Evros. The chairperson of the Greek Solution party, Paris Papadakis, who comes from Alexandroupoli, wrote on Facebook: “I have information about illegals who are disrupting the work of [Canadair] pilots. We need to act! […] We are at war”.
On August 30, the rightwing Prime Minister, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, implied that migrants were behind the fire, though there is no proof of that.
"It is almost certain that the causes are man-made,” the prime minister said. “It is also almost certain that the fire began on routes often used by illegal migrants who have entered our country.”
However, he added that “acts of self-defence and self-proclaimed sheriffs are not tolerated by this government”,
'They have a certain ideology that is not very different to that of the state: to protect the border, not letting people cross, using violence to prevent them'
Eva (not her real name) lives in Evros and has been following the situation closely. She asked to remain anonymous:
In March 2020, when Turkey opened its borders to put pressure on the European Union, police officially asked for help from civilians in controlling the migrants who entered the country. A local organisation of fishermen on Evros, Aenisio Delta Evros, became very active in arresting migrants. Officially, that’s no longer the case and the police don’t want people to think that they tolerate that. But when you ask them if they are still doing it … they won’t respond to the question, which says a lot.
A lot of these people have very good relations with the police and the army especially the Aenisio Delta Evros association, and also the local authorities. It’s wrong to call them vigilantes: they have an internalised ideology of protecting the border, to serve the state. In their mind, they don’t do anything to go against the interest of the Greek state. They have a certain ideology that is not very different to that of the state: to protect the border, not letting people cross, using violence to prevent them, which is a very significant pattern in Evros.
Several arrested in Sweden over new Quran burning
Euronews, September 3, 2023:
Swedish police arrested more than ten people on Sunday after scenes of violence in Malmö which followed a rally during which a copy of the Quran was burned.
Sunday’s rally, organised by Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, who initiated similar events that angered the Muslim world, took place in a square in Malmö, a city home to a large immigrant (read Muslim) population.
“Spectators showed their emotion after the organiser burned the writings,” the police said in a statement adding that “The atmosphere was stormy” as “violent riots” broke out in the early afternoon.
According to police, the gathering ended after the organiser left, but a group of people remained behind.
Around ten people were arrested for disturbing public order and two others arrested on suspicion of having participated in violent riots.
According to media reports, spectators threw stones at Salwan Momika….
Euronews avoids telling us who those arrested were and whether they were all Muslims or not.
