A story from May that we missed at the time and is still worth noting: “Pub Pensioner Blinded By Somali Who Shouted Allahu Akbar,” by Koen Berghuis, Ananova, May 28, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
This 75-year-old man has been blinded in one eye by a Somali who shouted “Allahu Akbar” and repeatedly punched him as the pensioner walked home after playing dominoes in his favourite pub.
The pensioner, identified as 75-year-old Detlef J., had just visited his regular haunt ‘Oki’s Bar’ in front of the train station in Offenburg, a city in the south-western German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, when the horrific attack took place.
On his way home after a fun night playing a game of dominoes with pals, a man suddenly attacked the unfortunate pensioner for no apparent reason.
A witness saw how the man “beat the pensioner on the ground” while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Arabic for “God is great”)….
According to reports, the pensioner’s face was smashed in and he has lost the sight in his left eye.
The suspect has been identified as a 25-year-old Somalian asylum seeker Ali M.
He arrived in Germany in 2015 and received the status of recognised refugee in 2017.
Ali M., who lives in a shelter in the neighbouring state of Hesse, was reportedly in Offenburg by sheer coincidence that day.
According to local media, police investigators believe he was kicked off a train after being caught fare dodging and left at Offenburg’s main railway station.
However, it is still unknown why Ali M. decided to attack the pensioner outside the station.
The suspect is also linked to an alleged attack on a taxi driver one day earlier in the nearby city of Freiburg….
CogitoErgoSum says
As his excuse are we going to be told to keep in mind that the attacker grew up in Somalia? Oh, he can’t help himself because he grew up in Somalia where this type of thing happens quite often. Okay … but why is he allowed to roam the streets of Germany? The same thing could be said of a lion.

Germany: Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar” savagely beats 75-year-old man, blinding him in one eye
………………………
This *poor man*. Will his Muslim assailant be deported after serving his sentence? Will Germany stop importing these barbarians? Don’t hold your breath…
Lloyd Miller says
An eye for an eye would be appropriate.
smoris says
Please stop. Do you even realize what you just said? You are advocating that we employ Sharia. If we do that they just won. Better to just deport them. If they cannot function in a civilized society there is only one course that makes any sense. I would deport only the Muslims however. The others are legitimately fleeing Islam and Sharia and they can, if we let them, tell us about our enemy. One Somali emigre I appreciate is Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She left Islam (it was not voluntary in the first place to be Muslim) and brings us the message of what would be in store if we permit this to get a foothold in our country. Please think again. Do you WANT Sharia? Because that is what you just proposed.
Trish says
I don’t think you read it correctly. He was not proposing that the West adopt Sharia law! He was (yes a bit sarcastically) pointing out the MINIMUM punishment the Muhamaden’s get in their own Sharia Countries. Had this 25 year old punk been in the Country of his birth, he would never have committed this terrible crime, most likely BUT if he HAD, he would not have been able to walk free! I Don’t believe the German people WANTED to have their Country invaded, I believe they were tricked by the venal political class who are working for One World Order. It’s just a matter of time before we are ALL living UNDER the Muhamaden’s with or without Sharia law. The Elite class intends to OPPRESS us by any and every means possible. Then God help us, because we’re doing nothing to help ourselves We should be protesting against having Muhamaden’s “serve” America!(That’s how they’ll take America) So. What if we’re called “racists “? And.. even if some of us are killed, our Western values, religions and FREEDOMS are worth dying for!!
Ernie says
Dear “smores” , just deporting such a Somali “gem” is not enough punishment for the crime he committed . I suggest we castrate him first . That’s NOT an eye for an eye , o.k. ? . Dealing with criminals of this calibre we should not act as pussies , ” smores “. We should change our laws and execute them ( those new laws , and if necessery certain criminals too ) . Alas , being civilized against barbarians will never work . I’m just being realistic . Do I like it ? NO , but it must be done ! .
gravenimage says
Again, there is seldom any sort of penalty for attacking Infidels. And no–we should not adopt the horrors of Shari’ah law. We should not be importing these savages in the first place, and need to deport these thugs after they have served their sentences.

E T says
Sara Anne Widholm, 75, of Windsor, Ontario died a year after she was severely beaten by a 21 year old Muslim while she was walking in a park. She never left the hospital and her husband died three months after her beating. Police described the beating as a vicious, random act of violence. His trial was supposed to start, January of 2019, I can not find any information about the trial. Is there anyone out there who know something about the case?
mortimer says
Have the stoic Germans had enough of this abuse yet? Or will they decide that Islam actually has a teaching about this sort of abuse called ‘JIHAD’???
In Islamic countries such things are handled by the police: They tell the non-Muslim victims to ‘Forget it or you’ll just cause more problems.’
tgusa says
75 years living without an unreasonable amount of trouble. He strikes me as a pretty decent guy. We live in a world where the good are assaulted and the bad are imported, ignored, given a pass, excuses made, etc. Really unconscionable.
Rod says
Meanwhile, in El Paso, we see yet another example, far more horrible, of what hatred and racism can do. Is Mr Spencer there to see what hatred and racism can do in his own back yard? Unfortunately, he’s busy reading German newspapers. His one-way goggles have screened out anything so shatteringly obvious.
And it seems you think the Germans should take lessons from Mr Spencer and his disciples? They are, after all, experts in hatred and racism.
None so blind.
FYI says
Murder is -ALWAYS- to be condemned no matter who does it and regardless of what ideology is used to justify it.
There is no possible excuse,no moral justification, for killing innocent unarmed civilians,be they in a mosque,church or synagogue or at a school or shopping mall.
It is an intrinsically evil act of premeditated homicide and the perpetrators need to be punished by the full weight of the law.It is also an act of supreme cowardice to attack those who cannot possibly defend themselves.
Terrorists,criminals,nazis,fascists,leftard bolsheviks and islamic militants believe they are entitled to violate God’s Sixth Commandment.
They believe the end justifies the means.
They believe their religious or secular ideology gives permission to do evil.
In the Judeo-Christian Biblical understanding of God,murder is understood as being a sin and a violation of His laws.
Not in islam it isn’t!
muslims are PERMITTED by al lah,their pagan Arab god{k2:191} to commit murder.
Just as nazis,bolsheviks,terrorists get permission from their ideologies to do the same.
But it is evil and wrong to do so:and it is only right that jihadism be condemned since it rejoices in murder and mayhem.
Angemon says

I’ll point out to the site title: Jihad Watch. Not “racism watch” or “hatred watch”. Terrible as the shooting was, it falls outside this site. Just like black-on-black crime, the weather or the word’s biggest cheese wheel.
Rod says
“Terrible as the shooting was, it falls outside this site.”
My point, Angemon, is that racism and hatred are what this site is all about. Or perhaps you haven’t noticed?
Angemon says
“My point, Angemon, is that racism and hatred are what this site is all about. Or perhaps you haven’t noticed?”
I thought this site was dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology play in the modern world and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. I say this because, well…
https://www.jihadwatch.org/why-jihad-watch
As such, terrible as the El Paso shooting was, it is outside the scope of this site.
gravenimage says
How is opposing this man being blinded by a Muslim “racism” and “hate”?
Note that “Rod” doesn’t consider blinding an old man to be hate–just considering this to be a bad thing.
black adder says
What about the antifa guy who killed 58 in Las Vegas? What was his motive? Enlighten us please!
Demsci says
Rod, first off, there is no racism on this site, as Islam is not a race.
Second; Hating something bad can be good. Discouraging hate can amount to censorship.
So it then becomes a motivation for opponents to claim “hatespeech” of the other.
Only directly inciting violence is forbidden.
But you give us context; you point out that besides Islamic violence and misconduct there is so much more of it. Particularly, as we see in El Paso, violence because of “White Nationalism”. It sure seems to be true.
But I can give you another context: Islam is not only blamed as is the case here, it is also hugely praised and supported and protected, by 1,6 billion Muslims and by millions upon millions of political correct Westerners, by many, many political correct politicians, up to and including US president Obama and Pope Francis.
In many countries by law and in others de facto Islam is much shielded from criticism.
So it is entirely appropriate that there also is a website that focuses on “holding Islam accountable”. That is showing how Islam and Islamic clerics actually incite to violence. And the violent unjust deeds of Muslims influenced by Quran-Hadiths-Sira in past and present.
Islam gets more than enough praise and support, here it gets “blame” where due. Robert Spencer indeed is prejudiced, but you can see him as “District Attorney”, and “DA’s”, as well as lawyers for the defense, are both supposed to be prejudiced.
And the public, readers, they can have the neutral stance that you advocate.
Rod says
“No one condones the shooting in El Paso. So don’t try and say we do. The hate in islam is far greater that anything else in this world.”
Did somebody suggest that you condone the El Paso shooting? Who? When?
So, you believe the hate in Islam is great. And you think that has some bearing on El Paso? What exactly?
Wouldn’t it be sensible, after seeing yet another example of their consequences (and do we see yet another horrifying example in today’s breaking news?) to condemn all forms of racism and hatred, including those which pervade this site so sickeningly, day after day after day?
Is it not odd that you concern yourselves with a case of serious assault in Offenburg, when such events occur in hundreds or thousands all around the world, every day of every year? The Offenburg case is to be condemned, but the thousands of others are ignored. Why?
Joseph Goebels would understand this mentality, but in this day and age, most people do not.
Angemon says
“Wouldn’t it be sensible, after seeing yet another example of their consequences (and do we see yet another horrifying example in today’s breaking news?) to condemn all forms of racism and hatred”
II a house is on fire, is it sensible for the firemen to be on the lookout for houses that suffer any other sort of damage?
“including those which pervade this site so sickeningly, day after day after day?”
You mean articles stating, for example, that Pakistani child-rape gangs in Britain target white girls because they were white?
I”s it not odd that you concern yourselves with a case of serious assault in Offenburg, when such events occur in hundreds or thousands all around the world, every day of every year? The Offenburg case is to be condemned, but the thousands of others are ignored. Why? ”
Again: as I pointed out, this site is jihadwatch. Look at the “About” page:
“Is it not odd that you concern yourselves with a case of serious assault in Offenburg, when such events occur in hundreds or thousands all around the world, every day of every year?”
No. Why should it be?

CogitoErgoSum says
Rod, is anything in the above news story not true? Why does it matter where it happened? Can’t people who live outside of Germany still be interested in what happens inside Germany? As long as the story is not factually wrong, what is the problem with conveying the news? This particular story does have some relevance to Jihad (the attacker was screaming “Allahu Akbar” while beating his victim) and keeping track of current Jihad-related news is what this site is about. I’m also keeping an eye on the El Paso and Dayton shootings but I’m not surprised those stories are not featured here because so far it seems neither one is linked to Islamic Jihad. If they are found to be Jihad-related somehow, I’m sure Mr. Spencer will convey the news and give some of his thoughts on the matter.
Sure, sometimes the reader comments here get a bit extreme but that comes with freedom of speech and Robert Spencer is a strong advocate of free speech. If you have a problem with what I or anyone else posts here in the comment section, I think you should direct your remarks directly to that person. If you have a comment for me in particular I’ll try to respond as civilly yet as truthfully (sometimes quite bluntly) as I am able. Opinions can sometimes be racist but the truth never is. You are entitled to your opinion and so is everyone else and everyone is entitled to the truth — even if you don’t like it.

How is it “racism” and “hatred” to stand against the blinding of an old man–and against suicide bombings, the hanging of gay people, and the stoning of women–of all races? “Rod” does not of course say.
Demsci says
Rod, quite right; Islam is “singled out” here, as are bad behaving Muslims. But in democratic country, with freedom of speech for all. In Goebbels’ Germany there was huge propaganda and the freedom of speech was totally suppressed.
Independent neutral visitors can see all sides of the argument in this country.
If you got your wish Islam would get a free pass, as it’s flaws would be attributed to human flaws, not Islamic flaws.

RichardL says
They vote for the same at every opportunity in Western Europe. I have no compassion any more for these people. The mother of the 8-year old that was pushed in front of a train told the biggest paper in Germany that she fears that “right-wing” parties will exploit it. This is such a perverse reaction that I have no idea how people can feel like that.
Rod says
Trump, the lying moron, says there is no place for hate in the USA, while himself working hard to generate hate (Shithole countries, Send them back, “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested” place where “no human being would want to live.” , etc, etc.). What a generous, intelligent, kind, well-intentioned man he is.
Just as on this site, where hatred is endemic (take a look, folks), I’m assured that there isn’t any. Blind, obsessed, or just stupid? You decide.
gravenimage says
How is telling the truth about the problems of African nations and of the inner cities “hate”? Democrats have also pointed to problems in inner cities, and used much the same terms. And opining that someone in favor of antisemitism and who refuses to condemn FGM should return to her Muslim country where such views would be welcomed does not appear to be hate, either.
Then–again–“Rod” implies that speaking negat8ively of a Muslim blinding an old man is “hate”–just sickening.
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t understand why pointing out that parts of Baltimore are infested with rats is considered hate. Trump is not saying the people there are rats; he is saying they have to live with rats … actual rats, the kind that are capable of spreading diseases such as bubonic plague. Who in their right mind would want to live in a neighborhood infested with RATS? This is just stupid to say Trump was calling people rats. What the hell! Anyone who thinks that way is the one who is a moron and obsessed with hate.
Rod says
Sorry, I forgot the “rapists and murderers” which our friend Donald mentioned in his paean of love for his fellow man. Such a lovely man, but so misunderstood.
On this site I see – barbarians, castration, execution, an eye for an eye (thanks Leviticus), deporting, thugs, etc, etc.
Someone called me a filthy something-or-other. So much love. And no hate?

Ah, so deportation = hate. Got it – crimes that lead to deportation be damned, deportation is HATE and good, old Rob will have none on his watch!!!… And it’s funny that you leave out what preceded these alleged calls for “castrations”, “executions”, etc – were the calls for castration in the wake of another brutal rape committed by muslim men? If so, why do you have a problem with the ensuing outrage but not with the rape itself?

I guess you have a soft spot in your heart for rats, Rod, and your brain seems a little mushy too from too much TDS. I hope we can get the mental health care system straightened out so you can get the help you need. I suggest you unplug yourself from the internet for a week or two and go outside for a long walk through the park every day for some sunshine and fresh air. Maybe you can find yourself a suitable hobby to calm yourself down — like basket weaving or making clay pottery. Just do something to get a new perspective on life, man. Also, some folks seem to think yelling at the sky helps.

I guess Bernie must be a lying moron too, right,? You know, seeing how he compared Baltimore to a “third world country”. As well as the media coverage of the “rat-infested places” who described them as “rat-infested places”.
