The effects of Turkey’s rapid re-Islamization are felt in Germany.
“Suspected arsonist flees to Turkey,” translated from “Mutmaßlicher Brandstifter in die Türkei geflohen,” by Franz Feyder, Stuttgarter Nachrichten, June 25, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
Stuttgart – According to research by our newspaper, the alleged perpetrator who carried out an arson attack on the Ulm synagogue on June 5 was in contact via social media with at least two men from the Ulm area who spread – in some cases radical – anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic content. The suspect Serkan P. agreed to a post on May 11th in which another Ulm resident spread the following under the image of the medieval ruler Salah-ad-Din: “How can a Muslim laugh while Jerusalem is occupied? How can a Muslim sleep peacefully while Jerusalem is occupied?” Articles about the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II were published elsewhere. The victory is considered to be the beginning of the rise of the Ottoman Empire, which existed until 1922, and is celebrated by Turkish nationalists.
Content from the blogger Bilgilis Üretmens was also distributed via the same user accounts. The man from Soest in North Rhine-Westphalia is considered to be the mouthpiece of the Turkish ruling party AKP and the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Germany, whose messages he spreads. Alternatively, he railed against Germany, the German government, Kurds or Israel. P. also visited Üretmen’s website via his user accounts.

But: P. also counts people among his digital friends who expressly sided with Israel during the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in May. However, unlike anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic posts, the Ulm resident did not agree to such posts. Serkan P. seems to have moved from Ulm to Turkey, where his family lives. A photo also published on social media shows him with his relatives in the city of Gemlik, south of Istanbul, watching the European Championship match between Turkey and Wales on June 16. The suspect can be recognized by a noticeable tattoo on his left forearm. Investigators had published photos of the man last week, which had been recorded with the surveillance camera of a bus.
The Ulm police and the responsible public prosecutor in Stuttgart announced in a press release last Tuesday that they had meanwhile identified the man. The information telephone for the population is no longer in operation.

When will the Turkish people stop this AKP insanity? A majority of Turks were once secular and looked down on these primitive throw-backs to the 7th century..

I’m not sure this was ever the case, Mortimer. But there is no doubt that things have gotten much worse there under Erdogan.
mortimer says
Do the Germans still not understand that canonical Islam is SYSTEMICALLY anti-Semitic?
Muslims in Germany are the new Nazis. Isn’t it obvious?

This is obvious to those who are not in denial.

Certainly obvious to anyone who wants to look at the situation truthfully, mortimer…
