“Defender Marko Siebold had previously stated that his client had confessed to the crime. However, his motivation is unclear. According to Siebold, the 26-year-old did not act on purpose, but out of his faith and had a problem with the figure of Christ in the Frauenberg Church. Siebold explains that he doesn’t see the injustice of what he did.”
So his motivation is perfectly clear. German authorities just don’t want to accept it. The implications would be too terrible for what they have done to their country.
“Church cleared out for religious reasons? 26-year-old in court,” translated from “Kirche aus religiösen Gründen ausgeräumt? 26-Jähriger vor Gericht,” by Claudia Götze, MDR, June 1, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
A 26-year-old Afghan has had to answer to the Nordhausen district court since Wednesday. Apparently for religious reasons, he is said to have destroyed a valuable figure of Christ in the Frauenberg church in Nordhausen.
The trial of the destroyed figure of Christ in the Frauenberg Church began on Wednesday in front of the district court in Nordhausen. A 26-year-old Afghan man is accused.
At the end of October last year, he is said to have cleared out church inventory, torn and damaged the valuable figure of Christ from the wall and broken an altarpiece. He is now charged with property damage and trespassing. According to the indictment, the damage amounts to 2,300 euros. The Christ figure is currently being restored.
Church cleared out in Nordhausen: court process interrupted
After almost an hour, however, the process was suspended. District judge Iris Kasch-Böse wants to question more witnesses and view files. The criminal responsibility of the accused may also have to be examined.Defender Marko Siebold had previously stated that his client had confessed to the crime. However, his motivation is unclear. According to Siebold, the 26-year-old did not act on purpose, but out of his faith and had a problem with the figure of Christ in the Frauenberg Church. Siebold explains that he doesn’t see the injustice of what he did.
Prosecutors are investigating other crimes
The 26-year-old Afghan has been in Germany for almost seven years. By 2020, he had a job as a cleaner. He doesn’t know why he was suddenly fired after three years. In the meantime, he is only tolerated as an asylum seeker, there is a legally binding deportation notice.Because there was trouble with the neighbors, he had to move two months ago. The public prosecutor’s office in Mühlhausen is investigating four other cases against him for damage to property: in one case, he is said to have thrown stones at a passing car, and in three other cases he damaged the neighbors’ apartment doors.
Pastor Müller: Irritations, resentment and sadness
Meanwhile, the Protestant community is eagerly awaiting the return of the restored figure of Christ, says Pastor Klemens Müller. It was rescued from the destroyed church after bombing raids in 1945, which is why it is so valuable.According to Müller, the incident in the fall caused irritation, resentment and sadness. Something like this could also be worked through in a negotiation. Shortly after the incident, there was a joint prayer service with the Afghan community.
“That was a very big gesture because it’s also about future cooperation,” said Müller. A strong sign of people who have apologized for something they didn’t do. Müller was invited as a witness in the trial on Wednesday, but was able to leave without testifying.

So, according to the feature article:
“According to Defender Marko Siebold, his 26-year-old client did not act on purpose, but out of his faith.”
??????
So I guess that Siebold is actually saying that the muslim migrant’s islamic faith does not give him “purpose”.
Have any imams weighed in?

Germany: Muslim migrant says he broke figure of Christ because of his faith, authorities search for motive
……………
This is denial in action. This Muslim has also been fired from his job, doesn’t appear to have looked for another one, has gotten evicted (*not* an easy thing to have happen in Germany), and has been violent to neighbors and others.
He has a deportation order against him–deport him now.
OLD GUY says
Well let’s see, if I as a White Christian burn a Quran or hang bacon on the door handles of a mosque it is a HATE CRIME. If Islamic followers stabs, burns, piss on a statue of Christ officials are not sure why he or she would do such a thing, and rule out anything todo with Islam. Are they that STUPID? Or are they intimidated by the violent Islamic population and the liberal media?
What these Islamic leaders and their followers are doing is called “JIHAD” and the goal of this JIHAD is to destroy all other religions and the people who don”t follow Islam. Islam wants world domination PERIOD.

Christ has been broken before and hated as a Jew, too.
Nothing says never again like an armed Jew.
