    You seem like a very angry young man.

    Infinite numbers of migrants haven't come to Europe, a distinct amount have fleeing their war torn homes. If some of them are terrorists or wrong'uns then that is a procedural issue with border control and they should be held accountable for it. Merkel as well if she's facilitated it.

    However, blaming Angela Merkel for a terrorist driving a lorry into a Christmas Market in Berlin is futile.

    none of them have papers or documents saying who they. They are not processed at any border crossings.

    Looks like a particularly joyless *. Linked to an ISIS cell based in Germany.

    This the Tunisian suspect? Is there any indication as to whether he is German-born or not?

    And during the troubles you had British and American born 'Irishmen' leave to fight in Ireland. But you wouldnt claim every Irishman was a terrorist.

    I don't like the religion of Islam. But there are millions of moderate, peaceful and happy people who follow it. The problem is separating the terrorists from that group, but you cant just assume that they are the same.

    Half right I'm angry but not so young. I went to school in Leicester on the 70s. There was a large Indian Pakistani population due in part to Amin kicking out the Ugandan Asians.
    Whilst there were some problems with the NF and the BNP most people were happy to welcome folk from other cultures.
    I have spent most of my life around people from other countries cultures etc. I was heavily involved with the Revolutionary Socialist League which was more commonly known as the Millitant Tendancy.
    At the hight of the Hunger Strike I canvassed for the Derry Trades Council who were standing candidates in Catholic and Protestant areas.

    I have a history of actively opposing racism and sectarianism. Not just talking about it but getting out on the streets and doing something about it. As I said previously I've gone toe to toe with the EDL on several occassions and the NF BNP and Combat 18 before them.

    I am not some right wing Neanderthal, but I'm sick to the back teeth of Muslim extremists. In fact I find them to be Sectarian Homophobic Mysogonists with a penchant for Peadophilia.
    They disgust me and their actions disgust me.

    In which countries do the billion of "Moderate" Muslims live?
    Almost every day people are being whipped in Indonesia for holding hands outside of marriage. Women in the Middle East who report rape are arrested for having * outside of marraige.
    Peados who rape children avoid any penanlties if they "marry" the victim. Meaning the Beast get off with it whilst the child is sentenced to a lifetime of rape.

    I think we have a different definition of moderate.

    They'd only be refugees if they sought asylum in the first peaceful country. They don't.

    All want to go to germany, sweden or denmark.

    That's who they're hunting, found his identity documents in the cab of the truck. Apparently has a criminal record as well. Name is Anis Amri, born in 1992.

    Nonsense. Being a refugee isn't defined as going to the nearest peaceful country.

    State Minister just held a press conference, looks like they tried to deport him in June after his asylum bid was rejected but he'd destroyed his documents and Tunisia denied he was a citizen. Was on the radar of the security services as well.

    From the Graun:

    It is not yet established that the suspect was part of the attack. We in North Rhine-Westphalia have been supporting the state prosecutor in his aim of finding and detaining suspects. We must not endanger the action to detain the suspect, so we can’t give you any information.


    I can give the following information about the suspect: Since February 2016 he has been living in Berlin. He was briefly in North Rhine-Westphalia before that. The security services have exchanged information regarding him in November. The federal police issued a warning that he was posing a danger.


    In June 2016 his asylum application was rejected. He could not be deported because he did not have any valid identity papers. Tunisia initially denied that he was a citizen on Tunisia. His identity papers arrived today - I don’t want to comment further on this fact.
