The attack in Solingen is just the latest example of a new wave of violence linked to the Islamic State terrorist group. Experts say the war in the Middle East is the main catalyst.

The terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the knife attack in Solingen. According to Amak, the mouthpiece of IS, the attack was carried out in “revenge for Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere” and targeted a “group of Christians.”

    Common population is getting increasingly worried about negative effects of mass immigration. They are ridiculed, called racists, silenced and also arrested for speaking up. They are held hostage by their own government.

    Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable as JFK said.

      As an immigrant in Germany, people who don’t support immigrants are not cowed by their government, don’t worry. They love to tell me about it. Maybe if you were an immigrant for a day, you would see things differently as well.

      Is it? Source?

      I found this on mediabiasfactcheck.

      Overall, we rate Deutsche Welle (DW) Left-Center biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

        Just my personal opinion based in how they report on different topics compared to other German news outlets. They often have a very nationalistic view on topics compared to other German news. They also often use populist headlines. Not as often as BILD but compared to reputable sources like tagesschau it is very obvious. It’s notable that they want to put a pro german spin on stories.
