The attacker has not been named, and he stabbed women who were unknown to him. While it is entirely possible that there is indeed no “terrorist motive” involved here, the attacks do conform to the jihadist modus operandi. 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….
Authorities have a long record of ignoring this call and claiming that jihad attacks were not jihad attacks even when the attacker was screaming “Allahu akbar.” This may not have been a jihad attack. But why haven’t authorities released the man’s name? The fact that he was born in Germany establishes nothing; Cherif Chekatt was born in Strasbourg.
“Man arrested in connection with knife attacks on three women in Nuremberg,” The Local, December 17, 2018:
A man has been arrested in connection with the horror knife attacks of three women in Nuremberg, Bavaria.
Police confirmed on Sunday that they had taken a 38-year-old German man into custody on Saturday afternoon.
The suspect had been discovered by a police patrol and was in possession of a knife. Investigators found DNA traces on the weapon and the victims’ clothing, reported the Berliner Morgenpost.
The police believe the alleged perpetrator acted alone. German media have been reporting that the suspect has remained silent over the allegations.
The suspect had no permanent residence but was last registered in Berlin. According to Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, he was born in Thuringia.
The man has already been convicted of 18 other crimes. A spokesperson for the police said they had ruled out a terrorist motive for the crime. In addition, the investigation has established that the alleged perpetrator and the victims did not know each other. The motive remains unclear.
As The Local reported, on Thursday three women were stabbed in separate attacks in the St. Johannis district of the city, generating a man hunt involving around 300 police officers.
The attacks happened within a few hours of each other. Around 7:20 p.m. a 56-year-old woman was stabbed in the upper body area and was taken to hospital.
Later, around 10:45 p.m, a 26-year-old woman, who was making her way home at the time, was also attacked with a knife just a few streets away.
Shortly afterwards, a 34-year-old woman was then also stabbed. The latter two women suffered life-threatening injuries, police said. All three underwent emergency surgery….

The German police are whitewashing jihadism.
Just because a Muslim doesn’t know EVERYTHING about jihad or know it precisely and clearly, doesn’t mean he is not a SINCERE, DEVOUT JIHADIST who is trying to please Allah and receive ALLAH’S BOUNTY of 72 celestial SEX SLAVES.
mummmovie says
OF COURSE the authorities have ruled a terrorist motive for the attacks!
OF COURSE THEY HAVE!
Establishing the base working assumption that motive is unknown is the first procedural step in the strategy, of which has become ubiquitous among Western law enforcement.
They always do the same thing, when even remotely possible, right out of the gate, for the following reasons:
1) Lack of motive creates the need for, and generates investigations, which take TIME; which is critical to the strategy. Giving themselves time is essential to delaying findings, which allows other news to fill in the gap created in that time, and allows the time necessary for folks to mentally drift away from the attack and focus on other current issues, forgetting the details as they blur together with past attacks, and generally allows details related to the attack to “blow over” in the collective mind of the public.
This way, even if it is eventually deemed newsworthy enough to report by the time the conclusions are reached and the findings are made official, folks will pay it little or no mind.
2) Lack of motive immediately generates a drop-down menu of possible motives, that include -among other things- ‘MENTAL ILLNESS”. This is crtically important both in the short term (with the possibility of immediate, outright dismissal of jihadist motives, should something be found in the attacker’s medical/psychological history as a best-case scenario), and in the long term, with regard to the overlooked, but very important statistics game; that of being able to classify and record the jihad attack as a NON-TERRORIST attack, which -as the numbers add up- contributes to the narrative put forth that most “terrorist” attacks are committed by “far-right” extremists, or are inspired by right wing ideology, rather than muslim jihadis, whose attacks will have been dismissed as due to mental illness rather than terrorism, which, as JW readers know, is overwhelmingly the case.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Just a word on Muslim piety and jihad murder: piety is indeed a path to jihad, but a much shorter, much more assured and far less costly (in terms of life’s pleasures) goes in exactly the opposite direction. To die in jihad is more highly valued than 60 years of piety. So make no mistake about it, you do not have to be a “good” Muslim *at all* to end up “killing in the way of Allah”. You merely need to not have left Islam. So the most base, the most ignorant, the most uncivilised, the most low-life of low-life, the ultimate despicable scum who has never set foot in a mosque or uttered a single word in prayer, *is more favoured in the eyes of Allah* than the lifelong super-pious, marathon-fasting, ascetic zakat-giving, permanent Kaaba-circling, nonstop-dhikr-ing devotee, if he finally “slays and is slain in the way of Allah”.
All talk of the many virtues Islam enjoins Muslims to, all the killing-one-equals-killing-all-saving-one-equals-saving-all stuff, all the honouring your parents stuff, all the giving-to-the-poor business, etc., is meaningless because there’s a simple way around it all that gets you to Paradise faster, bypassing all the bother, including even “the torment of the grave”.
There’s a reason Muslims don’t all opt for this easier fast lane. It’s because most Muslims are simply too human for Islam. Most Muslims are incompatible with Islam. Today’s pious Muslims would never make it into Muhammad’s merry band of bloodthirsty rapists, killers and plunderers, “the best of all Muslims”. It is today’s hardened killers, sociopaths, psychopaths devoid of all humanity, who’d be Muhammad’s ideal recruits. Why shouldn’t the fastest lane to Paradise be reserved for them?
I’m coming around to the view that this ultimate favouring of the brute over the refined plays a more significant role in Islamic backwardness than the Qur’anic prohibition on questioning, or the abolition of cause and effect from Muslim thinking.

His name is Daniel G.,he was born in East Germany and looks very white.
Came from an Antisocial family.His mother put him and his brother in the car trunk and gone dancing…
also he taked Crystal Meth.
lebel says
Nobody cares, he’s Muslim and that’s it. Evidence is rejected unless it confirms what they have pre-established.
It’s a conspiracy and the media and politicians are ALL in on it. Only jihadwatch knows the truth
Ashley says
I have to agree with lebel and A Meth Guy. There is NOTHING to indicate this was an act of jihad.
I’m pretty sure Jack the Ripper, The Boston Strangler, Zodiac, Charles Manson, Richard Speck, Ted Bundy and countless other maniacal killers weren’t influenced by Islam.
Sounds more like Daniel G simply had an urge to stab women. Not all atrocities are linked to Islam.
Just hope these women recover…

This is precisely how they clean up after islam muslims, whitewash jihad terror attacks, aid and abet the global jihad, and facilitate the hijrah and the worldwide spread of islam to otherwise peaceful, civilized nations and communities.
It is a recipe for Armageddon.
KWJ says
He was already convicted 18 times of a crime. We’ve been hearing this more and more. How many times does a person have to commit crimes before they spend some time in jail and/or deported if they aren’t a citizen? They are a burden to society. Randomly knifing people or using an axe in Germany isn’t their usual crime. Women in smaller towns in Germany, Sweden, etc. who never used to be fearful of going places alone now are. So their quality of life has gone down due to this mass influx of migrants.
Older Canadian says
Repeat offenders. How many repeats does it take to determine without a doubt an individual is a danger to society and obviously cannot continually be given “one more chance” under the disguise of human rights. The good, decent, hardworking, tax paying law abiding citizens are deserving to have their rights protected and respected also. The time is now to recognize this, and do what-ever it takes to correct the errors that extinquished their human rights.
