The perpetrator is apparently “Iranian and in his 30s.”
Possibly related, despite the Shia/Sunni divide, is the fact that the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
“Germany Lubeck bus attack: Knifeman injures 14 victims ‘after dropping smoking backpack’,” Mirror, July 20, 2018 (thanks to Lookmann):
At least 14 people have been injured after a ‘mass stabbing’ on a bus in Lubeck, Germany.
A passenger is said to have dropped a backpack which reportedly started smoking, according to local media – as others on board the packed bus started screaming and trying to jump off.
The assailant is said to have been armed with a kitchen knife – although some local media are reporting the existence of a gun, yet to be confirmed.
He was overpowered by police at the scene and is under arrest, according to local police.
Eyewitnesses say the bus was full when one male passenger dropped a backpack which started ‘smouldering’, LN online report.
The man then reportedly pulled a gun and attacked those on the bus, it said.
The bus driver stopped the vehicle immediately and opened the doors for passengers to flee, before he too was allegedly attacked.
Police were at the scene within minutes of the first emergency calls being made and claim the man is of Iranian and in his 30s.
While early reports claimed one man has been killed later reports suggest there have been no deaths….

The brainwashing by the media and the government has been very effective. In fact deadly effective; it seems that in Germany the globalist are winning.
I can not believe that while western civilization is folding, the majority of people are “willfully” blind. Will WW111 end before western citizens even knew that there has been a war. In fact most western countries via their governments have already surrendered to the globalist. If the deep state takes Trump down the west will go down with a whimper not a bang.
If I did not believe in God, I would be extremely discouraged and depressed.

Exactly.

You are way to pessimistic. The tide is turning. There is not one country left in Easter Europe that panders to globalist. Italy has an anti-globalist government run by a left/right coalition, in Germany the “far-righ” (plain, old conservatives) are growing in strength by the year. Austria is lead by conservative Kurz and we are witnessing the wonderful bromance between Donald and Wladimir. I hope to see the iranian Ayatollahs toppled during Trumps Presidency and the Mars Landing during the the presidency of Ivanka and then know that I can die in peace.
And speaking of peace, peace to you. It’s not your fault for coming across an old cynic who despite of being cynical believes that as long as you live there is still hope.

Adrianne Smyth says
My niece was in the second building on the morning that it was destroyed. Fortunately she got out just before it was hit. She tells me that the memory of it all is fading from view and many people have no real understanding of what happened or why it happened.
I will never forget our terror and fear when we knew she was missing, happily we were in contact by nightfall but it was one of the most awful days we have ever experienced. I cannot understand why this is not more etched on people’s memories and hearts. The sheer evil of those people is only matched by the evil of Hitler bombing Britain in the blitz, where frequently as many as 3,000 died during the nights.

He’s probably traumatised by his backpack going on fire and so to relieve the tension he stabbed other people with a knife he had with him. I hope he gets good treatment for his anguish and moves in with those nice people who held up signs saying “Refugees welcome”.

mgoldberg you haven’t imagined the half of it yet. There will be handwringings about how bombing buses is an integral part of his nonwhite culture, and oh how discriminatory and oppressive it is to demand that they not attack kafirs apostates and yes, Jews. In the unlikely event that they happen upon a judge with gonads, he’ll get some nominal time at the Dawa Hilton, at huge taxpayer expense. There he’ll fester away with all the genocidal imams the taxpayer can afford. Oh and he’ll spread his poison there, prisons are high-priority recruitment centers for his kind, when they recruit violent felons it saves them a lot in training, they’re both skilled and sociopathic. Then they’ll turn him loose with costly and entirely ineffective “supervision” and yet more multicultural handwringings.

Further to my previous comment, I live in the GTA and we are experiencing a huge escalation in our crime rate, gangs, guns, drugs, assults, robbery, murder via guns and knives, drive by shootings, and the list goes on. Police and mayor are going nuts.
We have assults on our transit system, passengers and drivers, and last month a man was murdered via deliberately being pushed off the subway platform. Canada, under Trudeau has open borders, our shelters are full, and now they are talking about closing our community centres and converting them to shelters. Toronto has been a sanctuary city since 2013, can’t help thinking this along with Trudeau’s rules are the root of our problems, which will only become worse, and a new normal.

Google “Toronto’s most wanted” images, and it’s overwhelmingly black Jamaican and a few muslims, in Toronto and in Halifax, Nova Scotia where there are a lot of blacks also. Thanks to junior justine’s dad who opened the floodgates to the Jamaicans, and now we are dodging the bullets to this day. DIEversity at its finest. Junior is carrying on his dads legacy now letting in the muslims, who are quickly catching up to the Jamaicans with the gangs and shootings.

Europe needs another cure against Islam: send them home, no matter for how long they have stayed here.
This guy e.g. has got a German passport. In many German media they sell him as a German who was born in Iran, not an Iranian with German passport. And he shows quite clearly that there is not chance for Muslims to integrate into a non-muslim society. Therefore they should be send home. And there they can follow their ideology as they like.

I am sorry, but I do not believe that this could work. First, they will say everything you want to hear in order to reach their goal of Islamisation. They are allowed to lie to kuffar, so what. Second, with the Internet the second generation can return to Islam from one day to the other. The first generation Turks in Germany did not appear very fundamental, but take a look at their grand children.
It can only work to forbid Islam in Europe and send all believers of Islam back.

Think of the reaction if a group of German Muslims was stabbed on a bus by a non-Muslim with a smoldering backpack. We would know the man’s full name by now, his picture would be plastered all around the world, CNN and every news agency would be talking about the rise of the “far-right” or “hate-groups” – included would be all those who voted for Brexit and all who voted for Trump and as well as an analysis of the world under Trump….
…but it was likely a Muslim, reportedly shouted Allah Akbar and if it was given any serious media attention all, they would have to talk about, stopping “Islamophobia,” how all Muslims are not terrorists but victims – [unlike those who were stabbed, shot or run over] – and all ways we can improve ourselves so that these “lone-wolf” Muslims can be better “integrated” and won’t turn to terrorism.
Don’t forget the Muslim spokespersons on every channel, telling us how they “fear” attack [by non-Muslims].
After all, there can be only one conclusion for the German government, that is to increase immigration, from these parts of the world. Because immigration must go on!!
Rosie Barnes says
All the mainstream media is being very careful not to use the ‘M’ word or talk of any terrorist act, just reporting that he is a “German citizen” with no apparent motive.
But a bit of digging around on German news sites throws up this: “Lübeck chief prosecutor Ursula Hingst added: “We will not release information on the identity of the man nor the motive of the act.” Hingst said the man is a 34-year-old German national but that he may have been born elsewhere.
“MAY HAVE BEEN BORN ELSEWHERE”. Where else might that be – Japan? Australia??
WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
andra says
Getting used to German News texts you learn very well what Kind of Person this “man” (trademark) is.
As soon as you get no name you can detect that it would not be a classic German name.
As soon as you get no motive you can detect that it is likely a jihad attack.
If he were a native German you would get his Christian name and at least one motive: either he is a member of Generation Identiy or a Reichsbürger or at least a voter for the AfD.
David M says
I heard this on Australian radio, & all they could say was this was a German man & there was no indication of Islamic radicalisation! I thought this sounded like an Islamic attack, & I was right. No wonder Trump calls the MSM fake news, what a disgrace.

He was born into Islam or he converted to the official religion of the criminally insane same difference . Feel like stabbing someone, raping children, bombing people at music concerts killing sleeping families in their beds we got a religion for you Islam. Yes Islam gives you an excuse for all kinds of bad crazy behavior better it gives license and encourages this behavior by its holy books and Imams at your local mosque Feel like punching the wife, taking a sex slave in ,grooming young girls with rape just send 9.99 to this address you get your Koran and what more we will throw in a copy of Sharia law for you. You do not have to follow those silly laws of Western society become an outlaw, a welfare sucking drain on society Be the biggest turd in the punch ball of your community become a Moslem. What there is more if you kill yourself killing unbelievers you can go to whore heaven ,and if pearly boys are your thing {wink wink nod nod } they have them there too.

” Shia/Sunni divide”. Quite a lot of Iranian “refugees” are Sunni. Mostly from the Gulf area of Iran. These Arabs in Iran have been waging a clandestine war against the Shia regime for quite some time – hence they become refugees. More than likely they are ISIS/Al Qaeda supports.
Ken says
It’s called terrorism. The State of Israel has been fighting terrorism (Muslim/Arab) for 70 years.and European countries, instead of supporting… They condemn the state of Israel only a few weeks ago. The State of Israel with its intelligence, prevented a large Iranian terrorist attack in France.And everyone continues to speak against her in the world. You’re not immune to the… You’re at war and truth-looks like you’ve already lost!!!

The European says
To Andra
“It can only work to forbid Islam in Europe and send all believers of Islam back!”
Just a couple of questions.
1.What are you going to do with Muslims who don’t practice their religion?
2.What are you going to do with Muslims who practice their religion in a way which is not harmful to Germany, like the Ahmadiyya, for example, who reject sharia law, saying that state and religon must be separated?
3.What are you going to do with peole like Seyran Ates who is trying to establish a kind of modern and liberal Islam that is compatible with our values and laws?
4. What are you going to to with a German woman who is married to a Muslim man or vice versa, but who do not bring up their children like Muslims?
5. What are you going to do with indigenous Germans who converted to Islam? Will you strip them of German citizenship because they became Muslims?
All of these people are Muslims, but according to your reasoning, all of them must leave Germany, because they are Muslims! You cannot expel people just because they are Muslims; that would be unconstitutional, and our constitution is predicated on civil rights, religious freedom and the dignity of the human being. But then, maybe you want to abolish our constitution, to be replaced by something which is more like the Nuremberg laws?
No, educating Muslims, persuading them to leave Islam or to adopt at least a form of Islam which is not nefarious to our democratic societies is a much better way to deal with the problem. Of Course, radicals and jihadists must be expelled, mosques and Islamic Centers must not be allowed to receive funds from Iran or Saudi-Arabia, dubious individuals and associations must be under surveillance and, above all, further Muslim immigration must be stopped. If we don’t do it, this will spin out of control. Outlawing Islam and deporting all Muslims won’t solve the problem, there will only be more and far greater problems. Come back to Realpolitik.
Susan B says
The European, yes all muslims must leave free countries. They all follow the female hating killing manual and support the laws of islam. There is no moderate or radical islam only islam. Islam is the problem and it must be banned and eradicated from the civilized world. Muslims can leave the death cult or just leave the west.
Susan B says
The European if they took all the violent rape and kill commands out of the koran you would be left with a pamphlet. Islam can not be reformed because it’s founder was a psychopathic pedophile, rapist, sex slaver, torturer, terrorist, looter, mass murdering warlord and easily one of the most evil men to ever walk this earth. You can see the problem, muslims consider this evil man the perfect man and you wonder why islam is so violent and cruel. In a way islam was brought back to it’s pure form as in the time of mohammad with muslims groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, Boko Haram, Al-shabaab, Lashkar-E-Taiba. They are pure islam back to it’s roots.
Bottom line, islam is evil because it’s inventor was evil.
The European says
Susan B, Islamic law and Islamic theology contain indeed very bad things, and I abhor them as much as you do, but I always distinguish between Muslims and Islam. Not every Muslim is a sex slaver, a rapist or a torturer, many of them are decent people, and many of them are not very knowledgeable about Islam and the story of Muhammad; they have been born into that religion, and that’s it. I made that observation time and again when talking to Muslims, and there are many Muslims in the district where I live, a mosque is just around the corner. Generalizing about Muslims and propagating stereotypes is not very helpful. I stay with my point of view. Educating, exposing, confronting, arguing…
Susan B says
What you say does not make sense either muslims believe in their hate filled book or they do not??? You can not have it both ways. If they disagree they should leave islam. Either you are a muslim or you are not a muslim. Either you believe or you do not believe. We are not stupid.
Anne Smith says
Closing mosques might be a solution. If they are adamant that they must go to a mosque they could emigrate to a Muslim country.
In any case, mosques should be strictly monitored for sedition and hate speech.
The European says
Anne Smith, agreed! And we could have shut down a lot of hese salafist mosques a long time ago, since we knew that many jihadis and terrorist came from salafist circles

Again, in a free and democratic society such things as outlawing Islam and deportation of Muslims are not possible unless this country becames a fascist-like or soviet-styled dictatorship where freedom of thought and freedom of religion do not exist anymore, with thought police and gulags. Do you wish for that?
Susan B says
The European wrote:

You can outlaw a cult that wants to kill you and democracy. It is not fascist to protect your country from rapist and murderers. Spain had to do it during the inquisition or they would have lost Spain.
You seem to forget that islam is at war with the west and we have every right to remove the enemy.
First step,
Ban islam and remove all mosques. Those are the war rooms of mohammedans
Second step,
Close the borders to any more muslims being allowed to immigrate.
Third step,
Educate all non muslims and muslims alike about what is in the koran and the hadith etc. and about the history and doctrine of islam. You would be surprised how many muslims have no idea what is in their books or the history of their cult. Education would help deprogram many muslims that still have a touch of humanity left. Teach the history and doctrine in the schools so that islam can not hide under lies and deception.
Forth step,
Deport any known terrorist in free countries like ISIS etc. That would include those muslims who rape and sexually enslave kafir females.
(I would like to say castrate them first, but the west would never do such a thing no matter how worthwhile and effective. mohammedan men consider their penises a weapon of war).
Fifth step,
Deport any “so called” refugees that were not refugees especially those from Somalia. Many entered under false claims so have broken the law.
Sixth step,
Deport any mohammedans that preach or publicly push the ideology of islam. That would include the Muslim Brotherhood and all their affiliates.
That should be a good start and the rest will pretty much take care of it’s self. Not to do so would invite “fascism” into free countries in the form of islamic law. It is islam that has declared war on us not the other way around.
The European says
Most Muslims living in a Western country have the citizenship of that country, and with citizenship come civil rights and constitutional rights. Muslims know this and if you try to outlaw their religion they will insist on religious freedom and other rights. Saying that Islam is a death and a rape cult and quoting from the Qur’an, the ahadith and the Sira to prove you point, will not suffice; they have their apologists and their lawyers, and they aren’t stupid either. How are you going to prove that there is a Muslim conspiracy against the West? By quoting from Islamic scriptures, by pointing at ISIS and other Islamic terrorist organisation? That will be hardly enough, if you want to ban a whole religion in your country. There would be endless lawsuits, riots, and at the end there might be a ruling by the constitutional court which bans certain nefarious elements of Islamic teaching.Maybe!
Step 2 is a good idea and I agree on it. Step three likewise. Terrorists and jihadis should have no place in our societies. If they have German ( or any other) citizenship, they must be stripped of it and forced to go back to the countries they had come from. But you need the collaboration of their native countries, and that is not so easy. Step Five: Fraudulent refugees must of course be expelled, agreed. And yes, we should outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood, their affiliates and any Muslim organisation which propagates their ideology or is linked to them.
Susan B says
How about we declare war on islam, just like we did with the Nazis. Ban and deport is next step.
