The vile Islamist assault on a gay-pride parade exposes the suicidal folly of the ‘Queers for Palestine’ left.
Don’t speculate. Don’t jump to conclusions. And whatever you do, don’t get angry. Sure, a woman is dead and others are horribly injured, after being rammed with a van and stabbed in Berlin last night. But we now have more details about the suspect. His name is Abdul. He’s reportedly an Islamist. And you know what that means. You must tame your fury and strangle your angst. Don’t be Islamophobic – shut your mouth.
The news from Berlin is horrifying. Last night, near the Brandenburg Gate, a vile assault was launched on the partygoers of Berlin Pride. A white van was driven at speed into a throng of revellers. As is often the case with suspected Islamofascist attacks, the vehicular assault was followed by a mass stabbing. A woman is dead. Others have life-threatening injuries. A manhunt is now underway for the suspect, named by cops as one Abdul B.
He is said to be a German citizen of Lebanese descent. He’s described as an ISIS supporter. He is ‘known for having connections to Islamist circles’, in the convoluted telling of the BBC. But remember, we don’t know the ‘attacker’s motives’. That’s what virtually every media outlet is saying. And don’t you dare speculate. Don’t even think, far less say out loud, that Islamists harbour a burning animus for homosexuals and the liberty they enjoy in the ‘kaffir’ West. Just put the crying emoji in your social media and forget about it.
Is anyone else sick of playing this game?
