Knife attacks in Germany, first week of September 2024
Those knives are up to their old tricks in Germany.
To make the graphic at the top of this post, I screen-capped the map displayed at the website Messerinzidenz: Live-Tracker für Verbrechen mit Messern (Knife Incidence: Live-tracker for knife crime) after setting the dates for 9/1/2024 to 9/7/2024.
A Green Party politician wants Germans to pay no attention to all those pesky knives. After all, there are so few knife attacks! The country needs to get on with more important work. Why are all the right-wing extremists getting so het up about this?

“The few knife attackers”: Green Party spokeswoman dangerously downplays migrant violence
The Federal Republic is suffering from an epidemic of violent crime, particularly knife crimes. While left-wing politicians are taking refuge in a debate about the proportionality of dealing with imported crime, German citizens are having to pay the price for a misguided migration policy and an inadequate security policy.
“Is it a solution for a family in a Thuringian village who doesn’t know how they can pay for daycare places for their children, whose daughter wants to go to university and who gets far too little student loans — is it a solution for them if we all bash the few knife attackers who, unfortunately, are still in this country?” asks Inge Schwenger, co-spokesperson for the Havelland district association of the Brandenburg Greens, according to a tweet by NZZ journalist Dr. Alexander Kissler.
“The Brandenburg Greens do not want to criticise knife attackers too much,” concludes Kissler.
“The few knife attackers”
The data project Messerinzidenz.de is currently receiving a lot of attention on social media. Andreas Ziegler has been running the platform since July and is recording Germany’s knife attacks — every single day.
The knife incidents are recorded daily on a map and in a list. There is a corresponding source reference for each individual case.
According to the database, 109 knife crimes have been recorded since the beginning of September — that equates to 16 knife crimes per day.
Afterword from the translator:
I guess the victims and the families of victims can now sleep so much better after they’ve been told that it’s only one of the “few” that stabbed them into the morgue or hospital. Also, the women of Germany can now breathe easier too, since — by the logic of the Greens — rapists are also only a few. Such mindless drivel should show anyone — even those who have had their brains removed over the years by the media — that these people live in a complete different Universe in which REALITY has no relation to their wishful idea of their dystopian Utopia. They are more dangerous to life and limb than those Bashi-Bazouks they’ve imported.
A German blogger learns Islam…
Mr. Danisch has been outspoken and critical of certain developments for a while, but his expertise is in IT security and law in general. Abundant experiences with our “guests” were related before, but so far he seemed not to have delved this deeply into the ideological background for these behaviours. This sudden succession of blog postings looks almost like an epiphany. I am not sure if he fully grasps the consequences of public scrutiny of Islamic doctrine when it might hamper their efforts to rope in the unaware. If he does, I commend his bravery. In either case, I fear for his life now.
“Our duty, ordained by Allah and enshrined in the Qur’an.”

Germans should leave and look for another country

Kara Ben Nemsi and Hadji Halef Omar (With Karl May through Islam)

A note about the reference to Karl May, a beloved author of adventure stories… It is widely known by now that he was an imposter of sorts, since he never travelled anywhere and lacked any personal experience with all the exotic cultures where he placed his stories. He was, however, an avid scholar of the written material available at the time and that included the Koran in unadulterated translation. Mr. Danisch doesn’t mention this since it is commonly understood that May is not considered an accurate source for ethnological studies, but since the comparisons are equally available, fact and fiction can be clearly distinguished. The reference to his stories is intended to point out that even in popular literature, they already knew things over a century ago. They may have not fully understood the possible impact, since Islam had no presence in our societies. Well, we’re learning it now.
I wonder if capital punishment will ever be restored in Western countries because if it is directed at these imported creatures it would solve many problems.
Here I’ve been thinking that every day there is an act of what I call microterrorism in Europe by Muslims against non-Muslims, but it’s actually a lot more than one per day.
@John Pepple
“Micro-terrorism” is an apt neologism, but another perhaps more-conventional means of describing what is in front of us is what military people call “low-intensity warfare,” or perhaps “asymmetric warfare.” And a military theorist such as William Lind would term these attacks as fitting within a fourth-generation warfare framework. In other words, acts of jihad fit squarely into the long-established doctrine of how Muslims wage war, but Lind’s model describes it as well.
