Iranian refugee kills 9 in Munich mall. ‘No motive”
DEBKAfile Special Report July 23, 2016, 7:24 AM (IDT)
Tags:  Germany,  Munich,  Terror,  Iran,


For seven hours the authorities of the leading European power were paralyzed over how to handle the massacre of nine Germans at he Olympia shopping mall of Munich by an 18-year old Iranian German Friday night, July 22 without uttering the words “Islamic” or “jihadist” – or even “terror.” The gunman, who killed himself far from the crime scene, gained German citizenship after arriving from Iran two years ago. He too has not been named. At stake was Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-arms policy for Middle East refugees. And so a city of 1,5 million was sent into panic by muddled, stammering statements, which for hours refrained from defining the mall attack, locked the entries against the media and refused to specify the number of casualties.. French President Francois Hollande bluntly said it for them. It was a terrorist attack, he said Saturday morning, July 23.

Young people and "adolescents" are among the 9 dead, and children are among the 16 injured. Hundreds of police Saturday searched an apartment believed to have been the shooter’s home.

This was how the episode unfolded, according to debkafile’s initial report Friday night:

The "leaders" were caught in a trap of their own making...that's why they look like asses.

Germans have been made into a sub-consciously self-loathing people because of the Nazis and the holocaust...they've compounded the problem by becoming so damned PC that it completely paralyzes them when their world view is intruded upon or shattered...

It's happening all across Europe, but I fear Germany will be the first to fall due to Merkel and the very heavy handed approach they have taken with regards to opposition, unless this incident galvanizes the German people and people in other countries being sold out by their governments.

Time will tell.

The trillion dollar question for me is Why? Why are they doing this? Europe is a socialist paradise, a leftist's wet dream, yet they are destabilizing their own countries at the risk of losing their own power to the Muslims. Again, why? Leftists don't give up power, yet they are in danger of exactly that happening. With their shaky financial footing the EU is in danger of the whole thing crashing down into chaos if not outright civil war if they keep this up.

It's enough to make your conspiracy minded, and wonder who's pulling the strings behind the curtain.

Exactly, and I don't see why in Europe, though I have a really good idea of why America.

If they think they're going to be able to use muslims to gain some kind of control over their countries and then try to put that jinn back into the bottle, they're more idiotic than one can imagine.

Once they taste the blood, they won't stop...idiot liberals [redundant, I know].

The killer in this case is sort of outside the pattern - he was the child of Iranian immigrants and grew up in Germany. At one point, there's a video of him screaming at some other guy on a rooftop that he (the killer) is a German and not a filthy Turk. I believe the other guy was a Turk, and the Iranian felt insulted by him.

He also used Andres Brevik's photo as his icon on various sites, and appears to have had a lot of hatred of Turkish immigrants. Personally, I'd suspect this was an internal Muslim-on-Muslim dispute, since the Iranian would probably have been a Shiite and the Turk and most new Muslim immigrants would be Sunnis. 

So why are we getting caught up in their wars?

livius asks:
"So why are we getting caught up in their wars?"

... and Fishrrman answers:
As long as they are on "our soil", we will be "caught up" in their wars.

Given that premise, what's the solution?
