So a Saudi who renounced Islam, blamed Merkel for the Islamification of Europe and became a supporter of the far right AfB party âŚ
A lot of detail has been emerging across German media about the alleged perpetrator of the Magdeburg Christmas Market attack, and his apparent motives.
Taleb A (identified only by the initial of his surname according to German legal practice) is a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, who came to Germany in 2006, and was granted asylum in 2016.
He worked at a clinic about 15 km from Magdeburg, as a consultant in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
Colleagues report of his frequent absence in recent months, due to illness.
His online presence, especially on the social media platform X, is substantial, and he has been at great pains for several years to present himself to the German public, media and authorities as a fervent critic of Islam and in particular a defender of the rights of Saudi Arabian women.
He has allegedly accused Angela Merkel, the former German chancellor, of wanting to âislamifyâ Germany, with her decision to keep the countryâs borders open to refugees in 2015, which led to many hundreds of thousands arriving from the Middle East, in particular from Syria and Iraq.
This âwaveâ of incomers has been cited by Taleb A, as one of the reasons for his hatred of Merkel. He has, in at least one post, called for her to be killed.
The refugee influx of 2015 fueled the then fledgling party, the AfD, an anti-Islam, anti-immigrant populist force, which has successfully played on the fear of some Germans to raise their profile and gain support. Taleb A has expressed his support for the party, reposting some of its anti-Islam posts and liking some key anti-immigrant influencers who are affiliated with the party.
Before the attack, Taleb A claimed in hundreds of posts on his X account that there was a conspiracy by the German authorities against Saudi refugees. He also made frequent references to âsecret operationsâ. He openly admitted to his hatred for Islam, and said he sought revenge for the fact that Germany, as he claimed, wanted to âIslamiseâ Europe.
In one of his posts on X from 13 August, he wrote in Arabic: âI assure you: if Germany wants war, we will have it. If Germany wants to kill us, we will slaughter them, die, or proudly go to prison.â
The post continues: âBecause we have exhausted all peaceful means, we have only encountered more crimes from the police, the state security, the public prosecutorâs office, the judiciary and the interior ministry. Peace is of no use to them.â
In another post in May, he wrote that he expects to die this year. He further claims that the German authorities are corrupt, adding: âI will seek justice at all costs.â
There are reports, citing Saudi Arabian authorities, that security services there had warned German authorities on several occasions about the attacker and his extremist views.
A turning point for Taleb A may have been having his asylum application approved in 2016. It was then that he made public the fact that he has renounced his faith as a Muslim. He said it had turned his family and friends against him, as well as lots of his patients.
He also opened his account on what was then Twitter, and started publicly denouncing Islam.
But President Musk claimed that only the AfD can save Germany, then a couple of days later this AfD supporting Saudi doctor commits this carnage. Itâs all very confusing. I wonder if Musk ran this past Vice President Trump before he flapped his gums!
Actually, to be sincerely honest in my humble opinion, without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, and without hiding any thoughts in my mind, and without lies to the actual truth, with my clear open mind and clean heart, expressing whatever is embedded inside me for a long time which I didnât say because I was nervous. But today, by gathering all the courage and motivation, I just want to say that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing to say.
