Mannheim Must Become A New “Never Again”

How many more innocent Germans must be murdered and dismembered before the state stops importing Islamic terrorists?

Open X this week, and you’re likely to see a photograph of a severed leg lying in the street. You would expect such an image from the civil wars of Iraq, Lebanon, or Liberia. But no: the bloody limb belongs to an innocent bystander in the German city of Mannheim, where, yet again, a “man” has driven a car into a crowd, killing two and injuring ten more. The arbitrariness of where these attacks occur, and against whom, should not lead us to be confused about the identity of the perpetrators. Predictably, they are men from Muslim-majority countries who have exploited Europe’s pathologically open immigration and asylum policies to gain entry and lie in wait. The only details released about the suspect, arrested at the scene, are that he is “a German citizen” from Rhineland-Palatinate. However, this means little as, under the outgoing Scholz government, reforms made to the citizenship process meant foreign nationals benefit from an expedited naturalization process, and retain dual-nationality with their homeland.

Although Europe’s leaders have debased their citizenship, degraded their culture, and turned their welfare state into the world’s poor-box, other civilizations see Europeans as peoples with whom they are at war. Recognizing the existential nature of this civilizational clash, Germany, and all Europe’s leaders, must make Mannheim a “Never Again” moment for imported Islamic terror.

In Mannheim in May last year, Afghan asylum applicant Sulaiman Ataee attacked an anti-Islam Pax Europa rally, and stabbed a 29-year-old police officer to death — who was too distracted by trying to restrain a Pax Europa activist to defend himself. Michael Stürzenberger, one of the six injured in the attack, was then fined €3,600 in November, after Hamburg judges ruled he had defamed refugees and Muslims during an October 2020 protest. But Stürzenberger has more than his own near-death experience to cite as proof that Muslim immigration is a security threat for Germany. In February, 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker Farhad Noori killed a mother and her two-year-old daughter by driving a Mini Cooper into a crowd of 2,500 ver.di trade union demonstrators in Munich. Noori was born in Kabul in 2001 and first arrived in Germany from Afghanistan at the end of 2016 as an unaccompanied minor. As confirmed by Munich public prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann, and video footage of the arrest, Farhad shouted “Allahu Akbar” while police restrained him at the scene. Noori’s social media featured posts calling to “Eradicate all those who are bad to Islam”.

In January, a 28-year-old Afghan man stabbed a 41-year old man and two-year old boy to death, and injured two others, in Schöntal park in Aschaffenburg. In December, fifty-year-old Saudi national Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove a car into a Magdeburg Christmas market, killing six and injuring 300. In August, Syrian asylum seeker Issa al H stabbed two men and a woman to death, and injured eight others, at a “Festival of Diversity” in Solingen on behalf of Islamic State. In 2021, a Somali asylum applicant stabbed three women to death in Barbarossaplatz, Würzburg.

Attacks of the sort happen across Europe. In February, a 37-year-old Algerian man stabbed one to death and injured five police officers in Mulhouse, France. The assailant was on a terrorism watchlist and subject to deportation orders, but remained in France. He also shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. That same month, a 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death, and five others injured, by a 23-year-old Syrian migrant in Villach, Austria. The perpetrator sat, smiling, and did an index-finger salute (al-sabbaba) while waiting for police to arrest him. Islamic State flags were found in his apartment. In August 2024, a 17-year-old of Turkish/Croatian descent, and 19-year-old of North Macedonian descent were arrested for planning a massacre at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, on behalf of ISIS. A third, an 18-year-old Iraqi national, was also arrested. It is as if the nucleus of a network of Islamist sleeper agents is activating them one by one, to induce confusion and chaos across the continent.

JD Vance cited Noori’s attack as an example of how politicians have endangered European peoples through unwanted mass migration and a multicultural appeasement of Islam. Germany’s outgoing Defence Minister, Boris Pistorius condemned Vance, to the applause of the auditorium, insisting that “democracy must be able to defend itself against extremists that try to destroy it”. But Pistorius and his fellow politicians do not consider these Islamist terrorists among the cadre of “extremists” to be gatekept against — otherwise, they would stop importing them, and start deporting them. Instead, he refers to critics of this policy of importing terrorists as the “extremists” deserving to be censured, censored, and prosecuted by the state.

These two policies — limitless, culture-blind migration, and censorship of free speech — are inextricably linked. As social trust decreases, due to cultural heterogeneity caused by mass migration, the need for the state to step in and ensure everyone is getting along increases. This is why German Federal Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser has established a new state-funded “advice centre” for people with friends or family prone to “conspiracy thinking”. Heavens forbid she be compared to the Gestapo: Faeser has instead employed ostensibly-neutral NGOs to provide the service. One is the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which established an office to report “antifeminist activities … below the threshold of criminal liability” in July 2022. As Austrian commentator Ralph Schoellhammer notes, nowhere in the Foundation’s efforts to fight antifeminism or “attacks on queer people and institutions” is the threat of imported Islamism mentioned. Instead, the German state seems more focused on logging microaggressions against the native population — in a similar fashion to the UK’s despised non-crime hate incidents. Indeed, while Keir Starmer boasted how “proud” he is of Britain’s free speech traditions in the White House, his government is building an Islamophobia blasphemy board, and redefining “anti-Muslim hatred” to shut down conversations about the Pakistani rape gang scandal as “racist”.

The modus operandi of the modern state is to enforce antiracism, especially in Germany, haunted by the memory of Nazi atrocities. Faeser praised the aforementioned SPD government’s reforms to citizenship, saying:

“Finally, our law is doing justice to our diverse society… Finally, we recognize the life stories and achievements of many people in our country who immigrated a long time ago and have helped our country to move forward. The message is very clear: You belong to Germany!”

What Faeser means here is that the law is an agent of dissolving all borders, boundaries, and distinctions between people to realize their latent equality. This goal is made explicit by excluding from naturalization “anyone found to have committed antisemitic, racist or other inhumane acts”. In practice, however, as Melanie Phillips has explained, this plays out as a pathological tolerance extended to hostile foreign nationals. Liberals, believing in a blank slate rendition of human nature, think that enough economic redistribution, time on German soil, and subordination of German culture to accommodate newcomers will cause immigrants to become as indistinguishably European as themselves. This is proving to be a fatal mistake.

The horrors of the Holocaust should not mean Europe unilaterally liquidates its history, heritage, culture, and identity, and renders us defenseless against the imperial ambitions of Islamism. As son of German-Jewish refugees, Paul Morland wrote, it is a betrayal of his ancestors to dismantle German culture for fear of being called racist; and a betrayal of German citizens, Jewish and Saxon alike, to import anti-white, anti-Christian, antisemitic terrorists who kill children en masse and at random.

Germany needs a new “Never Again” for migration. If the image of one drowned child, Alan Kurdi, was sufficient to de facto abolish borders across a whole continent, then the thousands injured, raped, and murdered by migrants since must surely be enough to impose the most stringent possible restrictions again. Let that image of a woman’s leg be the last we see.
