Islamic and Leftist leaders were likewise hoping that this was finally a genuine example of the ever-elusive “Islamophobic hate crime,” something they could use to buttress their relentless victimhood narrative. Once again, no such luck.
“Muslim attacked mosque because it was like a church to him,” translated from “Moslem hat Moschee angegriffen, weil sie für ihn wie eine Kirche war,” Journalisten Watch, June 13, 2019 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):
Saxony / Dresden – Presumably to the annoyance of Leftists, it turned out in the past week that the stone-thrower at the mosque in Dresden is a Muslim from Tunisia. At the trial, the orthodox believer also explained his motivation: the mosque he attacked was “not a proper mosque,” but was more like a church.
Only a week after the 30-year-old rejected asylum seeker Hosni S. had broken three windows of the Turkey-financed Fatih Camiine mosque in Cotta with stones, the Tunisian admitted in a so-called accelerated procedure before the District Court of Dresden that he had also broken the windows of a Turkish kebab stand and two shop windows.
Asked by the judge about his motivation, the refugee responded, according to the SZ: “This is not a proper mosque, more like a church.” The mosque, financed from Turkey, in his view does not appear to be fundamentalist enough in the faith practiced there; Allah ordered him to attack the mosque. In the case of the kebab shop, he said people would get “poisoned food” there.
“I believe you did not want to hurt anyone,” said the presiding judge, who is convinced that the man was guilty, in her verdict on the defendant. “But that does not mean that I approve of it,” said the sensible judge, who then informed the refugee: “It is forbidden to damage other people’s property and to terrify people.” She was not convinced that the 30-year-old had a political motive when he attacked the mosque. He said he wanted to fulfill an “alleged mission.”
Judge Sibylle Vollmers sentenced the 30-year-old S. to a suspended sentence of five months for property damage and material damage to the common good….

You know that much awaited reformation of Islam? Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon.
mortimer says
Ah … the old ‘MORE-MUSLIM-THAN-THOU’ trick!
He attacked them because they were not the ‘right sort’ of Muslims … suspecting they were even promoting Christian teachings in the mosque.
He would be considered a normal, devout Muslim in any Muslim country, rather than ‘insane’ or ‘extreme’.
A Muslim is supposed to have GHEYRA … a rage-filled, pious jealousy in favor of Islam and a combined intolerance of anything that detracts from Islam.
GHEYRA looks like an insane rage to people outside of Islam.

Just as most, if not all, previous attacks against the barracks of those who serve satan have been carried out by moslims. and they never seem to suffer from their crimes …which would not be the case if the attacker was non moslim.
Such things a putting bacon on a door knob has led to non moslims being imprisoned, but a moslim actually doing damage…not even a slap on the wrist.

Mm. Reminds me of another incident……
Proceeding from Tabuk on his way back to Medina, Muhammad halted at Dhu Awan at Quba, an hour’s journey from Medina. There, an opposition Muslim group had built a mosque. Previously, while Muhammad was making preparations for the march to Tabuk, this group of Muslims approached him and said, “O Messenger of God, we have built a mosque for the sick and needy and for rainy and cold nights, and we would like you to visit us and pray for us.” (Tabari, vol.ix, p.61). As Muhammad was too busy with his preparations for the Tabuk expedition, he excused himself from visiting this newly-built mosque but assured the dissident group that he would call on their mosque while returning to Medina.
When Muhammad halted at Dhu Awan, he accused its builders of being unjust and sent a band of followers to burn and destroy the freshly constructed mosque. He said to his followers, “Go to this mosque whose owners are unjust people and destroy and burn it.” (Tabari, vol.ix, p.61). They entered the bustling mosque and set fire to it when it was filled with people assembled for the evening prayer. The worshippers dispersed in utter terror. Allah promptly sent down verse 9:107, 110, justifying the destruction of opposition mosques. To further validate his gutting of this mosque, Muhammad concocted the story that he suspected that the builders of the ‘Mosque of Dissent’ were planning to assassinate him.
Then he extolled the virtue of the first mosque (known as Masjid Takwa) that was built by him at Quba when he migrated to Medina and where he had asked his followers to pray. This instruction is written in the Qur’an in verses 9:108-110
“And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity – to disunite the Believers – and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.
Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.
Which then is best? – he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? – or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
The foundation of those who so build is never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.”
(Quran 9:107-110)
These verses, when taken in true Islamic spirit, call for the devastation of rival mosques. The most important question is: which mosques are genuinely Islamic and which mosques are not so Islamic? Since there is no central authority in Islam to decide on this, it naturally becomes a moot-point, to say the least. It is therefore, a free-market in Islam when it comes to destruction and bloodshed. Thus, Sunnis are free to destroy Shia mosques; the Shias are permitted to destroy Sunni mosques; both these groups are free to destroy Ahmedi or Kurdish mosques and so on. Within each group there are sub-groups and they are also entitled to commit such depravities on other groups. This is exactly what is going on in almost all Islamic Paradises. In Iraq, Sunnis are destroying Shia mosques and murdering them. In Pakistan, Sunnis are killing the Shias and burning their mosques. Then the Shias are avenging this by destroying Sunni mosques. In Bangladesh, both the Sunnis and the Shias are occupying Ahmedi mosques and setting them on fire. This musical chair of mosque-burning and killing is proceeding unabated, each groups claiming they are the true Muslims! Each group is adamant they are absolutely following the Qur’an and Sunna (Muhammad’s deeds and examples), the two principal sources of Islam.
The criminal was following the “excellent example” of his prophet, that’s all…..

In other words, Islam is like a travesty of the commons or an immoral equivalency…
Norger says
The endless internecine warfare among Muslims is yet another example of why Islam is not, and will never be, a “religion of peace.”
Rufolino says
Everywhere you look, religious people (of whatever denomination) think their religion gives them a divinely inspired RIGHT to tell other people what to do.

But non-Muslims are not murdering people over it.

To bad he didn’t throw a bomb in the mosque full of worshippers all wearing dirty turbans and eating pork . Wishful thinking on my part

“I believe you did not want to hurt anyone,” said the presiding judge…
I believe he *did* want to hurt someone, but was too weak and cowardly, so took his rage out on inanimate objects. Just my opinion.

The so-called sensible judge says that it is forbidden to terrify people. No wonder these people aren’t being identified as terrorists by the German MSM: they aren’t terrorists but rather terrifists.
Amhlaoibh says
Another lousy female judge. Will barbaric Islam be stopped by these feminist females and their lousy simps? Is calling spade a spade no longer in vogue? Hiding crimes leads to support of criminals. Muslim attackers should be immediately deported.

Under Islam you won’t have to worry about female judges…
