German authorities assumed he was “mentally ill” until that self-delusion became impossible for them to sustain. They would revisit many other such cases as well, but they won’t.
“For the media, he was immediately ‘mentally ill’: Now the knife Islamist is on trial,” translated from “Für Medien war er sofort „psychisch krank“: Jetzt steht Messer-Islamist vor Gericht,” Exxpress, July 26, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
He wanted to rid Germany of all “non-Muslims”: last year, a Palestinian stabbed passengers indiscriminately on an ICE train. The media immediately found the 27-year-old asylum seeker to be “mentally ill” – now an investigation has come to a different conclusion.
On November 6, the 27-year-old Palestinian Abdelrahman A. randomly stabbed passengers on an ICE train traveling from Nuremberg to Hamburg. He injured four men with a knife, some seriously. When he was arrested, he suddenly behaved like a mental patient and said he heard voices. The investigators and also an expert believed this statement for the time being. Shortly after the crime, German media wrote about a “mentally ill man.”
Wanted to rid Germany of “non-Muslims”
A psychiatric examination came to the conclusion that the man acted fully conscious and was not mentally impaired at the time of the crime. In the course of the investigation, IS propaganda material was found on the Palestinian.In September 2021, Abdelrahman A. made the decision to make a contribution to global jihad by indiscriminately killing “infidel” non-Muslims in Germany, the federal prosecutor said. During his Islamist attack, he stabbed multiple ICE train passengers in the neck, head and chest. Two people suffered life-threatening injuries. Now he has to go to court. The federal prosecutor’s office has taken on the case and brought charges of attempted murder against the Islamist.

I remember that terrorist and his pretense of “hearing voices.” thought it to be bologna at the time.
I’m glad he is being prosecuted as the “sane” terrorist he is. Enough with the bogus claims of mental illness which puts a bad, a false, light on those who truly are mentally ill and don’t commit crimes of terror.
and he could go live in Jakarta…sinking with all those mozlum bros of his ,rather than killing non-mozlums in Germany.

Yeah, Indonesia is moving their capital to Borneo, but it’s an open question as to when that project will be complete
somehistory says
the terrorists living in jakarta, can begin travelling in their overloaded boats for the nearest infidel land.
I have a friend who lives in jakarta…if she is still alive, which I really hope and pray she is. She went there to work for a Japanese company.
James Lincoln says
Let’s see, the perp is responsible for his actions?
Not mentally ill?
Sounds like a modicum of progress…
mortimer says
Agree, this is progress, since in the past the presumption of insanity was automatic from the Leftists. Their Muslims allies were ‘peaceful’ … or so they said in public. I know that in private Leftists realize Islam is backward and misogynistic, but they need the alliance to continue until they have enough votes to take over by rigging all future elections.
Wellington says
Here’s a kind of Catch-22, to wit, if you are a devout Muslim you are already mentally ill. And thus the mental illness “excuse” proffered by so many authorities in the West does have some merit to it but in a perverse way and which insouciantly remains unknown to these clownish authorities.
Nothing like stumbling into the truth for the wrong reason. That is now what is going on many times in our absurd era here in the once great West.
mortimer says
Muslims who may be same and devout at the same time, are imitating Mohammed. Throughout his life, Mohammed is said to have had various bouts of madness or even bewitchment.
Thus, imitating Mohammed would make a sane person appear to be insane.

Wanted to rid Germany of “non-Muslims”
Actually, most of our politiicans here in Europe are doing an excellent job at that, didn’t he notice? Half of newborns in Belgium are already born by immigrants. In Sweden it’s 1 in 3. I don’t know exactly what difinitions they use in those two countries, but in my own country, Denmark, as long as just one parent has become a Danish citizen the child will be registered as a native born Dane. When this lunatic is out of prison – if he ever goes to prison – our politicians will have done the job for him..
mortimer says
Agree. The Leftist politicians and journalists are the loonies.
Fitna says
I’m sure the Muslim community quickly caught onto the West’s naiveté and cowardice when their fellow terrorist brothers were falsely being mislabeled as ‘mentally ill’ whenever they went on their stabbing/car-ramming rampages.
Just maybe some of the authorities are wising up, knowing Muslims are going along with this scam and are realizing our survival is at stake and are finally growing a spine. Imagine the shock for this Muslim to realize they didn’t fall for his theatrics ‘this time’ and that he’ll be tried and jailed as a criminal rather than getting a slap on the wrist.
It’s too early to tell or to know if it’s just a ‘one-off’ or the start of a trend. Sadly the education of our media and elites will be done through the cost of thousands, perhaps millions of injured, raped, traumatized or dead non-Muslim victims (by Muslim hands).
But once the mainstream truly gets it, that Muslims are a danger to us in general, then the real fight back against Islam will begin. It should’ve happened 20 years ago after 9/11 but better late than never.
More importantly, what’s really needed now in coming elections is the rise of anti-Islam leaders and parties. Once you put a person like Geert Wilders or Eric Zemmour in charge, they’ll do what all other leaders failed to do when they had the chance.
Frankly I think those weak/treasonous leaders should face jail for breaking their oath and refusing to protect us from our enemies (in this case Islamic fascism).

Sound judgment.
