Of course. What could his motive possibly be? Who ever heard of Muslims deliberately driving vehicles into people? We want to avoid “Islamophobia” at all costs. That’s job one. Once we take care of that, then we’ll find Mohammed’s motive.
“Germany probes motive of Syrian crash truck hijacker,” AFP, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
German authorities on Tuesday were investigating the motive of a Syrian man who hijacked an articulated lorry and smashed it into cars stopped at a traffic light in the city of Limburg, injuring several people.
…
The public prosecutor’s office said it had opened an attempted homicide probe against the 32-year-old suspect, whose name was not released.“The investigation into what was behind the act is ongoing,” the prosecutors said in a statement.
“We cannot comment on the motive in particular — we are pursuing all leads.”…
And Hesse state interior minister Peter Beuth urged people not to jump to conclusions.
“Although the events recall the horrible attacks in Nice and Berlin, the motive of the detained man remains unclear,” he said.
He added that security authorities had, as yet, found “no links to the violent Islamist scene”.
The white articulated lorry slammed into seven cars and a van idling at a red light opposite the courthouse in Limburg, western Germany late Monday afternoon, crushing them together.
Nine people were slightly injured, including the driver of the stolen vehicle, who was immediately taken into custody by police officers who happened to be on the scene.
– ‘Didn’t say a word’ –
News agency DPA, citing security sources, said the suspect was known to the police for drug offences and grievous bodily harm.
Police searched two apartments linked to the suspect overnight and collected possible evidence including mobile phones and USB sticks.
The original driver of the truck, who was not named, was quoted by daily Frankfurter Neue Presse (FNP) as saying a man had “dragged” him out of his lorry.
He said the hijacker, with short dark hair and a full beard, had yanked open the driver-side door and stared at him wide-eyed before forcing him out of the vehicle.
“I asked him ‘What do you want from me?’,” he told FNP. “He didn’t say a word.”
Prosecutors said he was not believed to have used a weapon in the hijacking….
“The passers-by said the driver said ‘Allah’ several times” and spoke Arabic, FNP reported.
Police did not confirm this account.
Bettina Yeisley from Limburg, whose office is next to the crash scene, told FNP she heard a loud bang and ran out onto the street with colleagues.
They found the driver sitting by the roadside in the city of 35,000 about an hour’s drive from the financial capital Frankfurt.
“He was bleeding from the nose, his hands were bloody, his trousers torn. He said that everything hurt. I asked him his name and he said, ‘My name is Mohammed’.”
The Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany’s domestic security watchdog, warned in April of an estimated 2,240 Islamists with “terrorist potential” living in Germany….
