发帖数: 3433 | 1 Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door migration policies have set in motion a
self-reinforcing cycle of violence in which more and more people are
carrying knives in public — including for self-defense.
A 40-year-old man stabbed to death his 31-year-old wife and mother of their
three children. Police said the man was angry that his wife was using social
media.
A "dark-skinned" man (dunklem Teint) drew a knife on a 54-year-old female
train conductor when she asked him for his ticket.
A recent surge in stabbings and knife-related violence across Germany is
drawing renewed attention to the deteriorating security situation there
since Chancellor Angela Merkel's 2015 decision to allow in more than a
million migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
In recent months, people armed with knives, axes and machetes have brought
devastation to all of Germany's 16 federal states. Knives have been used not
only not only to carry out jihadist attacks, but also to commit homicides,
robberies, home invasions, sexual assaults, honor killings and many other
types of violent crime.
Knife-related crimes have occurred in amusement parks, bicycle trails,
hotels, parks, public squares, public transportation, restaurants, schools,
supermarkets and train stations. Many Germans have the sense that danger
lurks everywhere; public safety, nowhere.
Police admit they are outnumbered and overwhelmed and increasingly unable to
maintain public order — both day and night.
Statistics that are reliable on knife violence in Germany — where police
been accused of failing to report many crimes, apparently in an effort "not
to unsettle" the public — do not exist.
A search of German police blotters, however, indicates that 2017 is on track
to become a record year for stabbings and knife crimes: Police reported
more than 3,500 knife-related crimes between January and October 2017,
compared to around 4,000 reported crimes during all of 2016 — and only 300
in 2007. Overall, during the past ten years, knife-related crimes in Germany
have increased by more than 1,200%.
The media in Germany do not report most knife-related violence. Crimes that
are reported are often dismissed as "isolated incidents," unrelated to mass
immigration. Moreover, many crime reports, including those in police
blotters, omit any reference at all to the nationalities of the perpetrators
and victims — ostensibly to avoid inflaming anti-immigration sentiments.

Merkel's open-door migration policies have, however, set in motion a self-
reinforcing cycle of violence in which more and more people are carrying
knives in public — including for self-defense.
The epicenter of knife-related violence in Germany is Berlin, where some
areas are now so dangerous that they have effectively become no-go zones. In
Neukölln and other neighborhoods with large immigrant communities,
stabbings have become daily features of life. Migrants were responsible for
at least 45% of the crimes committed in the German capital in 2016,
according to the Berliner Morgenpost.
The northern cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven are also hotbeds of knife
violence. In 2016, at least 469 people — more than one a day — were
stabbed in Bremen, according to official documents obtained by the newspaper
Bild. More than a dozen people in Bremen died of their stab wounds. Another
165 knife attacks were registered in nearby Bremerhaven, a 75% increase
since 2014. Migrants, according to Bild, were found responsible for most of
the violence.
Another flashpoint of knife violence is North Rhine-Westphalia; stabbings
are rampant in Bielefeld, Bochum, Bonn, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf and
Essen, among other cities. Düsseldorf's city center has been particularly
plagued by stabbings.
Many knife attacks appear to be random, indiscriminate assaults on innocent
bystanders — especially at transport hubs and on public transportation:
Munich, October 21. A 33-year-old man randomly stabbed eight people,
including a 12-year-old boy, at the Rosenheimer Platz. Police said they "
assume" that the stabber, a serial offender with a long rap sheet, was
suffering from a "mental disorder."
Mönchengladbach, October 16. An 18-year-old Algerian, in Germany
illegally, randomly drew a knife on a 65-year-old man in a wheelchair at the
central train station.
Hamburg, October 15. A 23-year-old man was stabbed in a restaurant after he
made "accidental eye contact" with his attacker.

Leipzig, July 27. A 46-year-old father at an amusement park with his family

Knife attacks increasingly involve teenagers and young children as well as

Aussehen) drew a knife on two children at a school playground and took
their lunch money.

during a dispute in a parking lot.
Hermannsburg, August 29. A man drew a knife on a 22-year-old woman because

In mass brawls between groups of people from different nationalities and
ethnic groups, knives appear to be weapons of choice:

during an altercation with other Afghans at a multifamily house.

stabbed during a mass brawl between persons of foreign origin.
Dortmund, September 3. A 34-year-old Bulgarian stabbed a 54-year-old Turk
outside a restaurant.
Knives have also been used in "honor" violence and internecine disputes:
Bad Homburg, October 30. A 40-year-old man stabbed to death his 31-year-old
wife and mother of their three children. Police said the man was angry that
his wife was using social media.
Oldenburg, October 14. The trial began of a 37-year-old Iraqi accused of
stabbing to death his wife, the mother of his five children, who were in the
house at the time of the attack. According to the indictment, the Iraqi
murdered his wife to restore the "family honor" after he believed she was
having an affair with another man. The woman had, in fact, been attending
German language courses.

Macedonian from a rival clan during a wedding.
Herzberg, June 29. Mohammad Hussain Rashwani, a 38-year-old migrant from
Syria tried to behead 64-year-old Ilona Fugmann at her beauty salon. Fugmann
had offered Rashwani a job as a hair stylist and German media praised him
as an exemplar of successful integration. Mohammad reportedly had found it
difficult to subordinate himself to his female boss.
Cologne, June 14. A 33-year-old Syrian stabbed and seriously injured his ex-
wife at a supermarket in Cologne. He also stabbed his 13-year-old son after
the boy intervened to protect his mother.
Cottbus, June 9. A 32-year-old Chechen man was sentenced to 13 years in
prison for slitting his wife's throat and throwing her out of the second-
floor window of their apartment. The man was charged with manslaughter
rather than murder because, according to the court, the "honor killing" was
done in the heat of passion: the man thought that his wife had been
unfaithful.
Knife attacks also occurred against social workers and public servants:
Pfaffenhofen, November 11. A 28-year-old Kazakh-German held a 31-year-old
clerk at a youth welfare office hostage at knifepoint for more than five
hours. He said he disagreed with the results of a custody battle, in which
his one-year-old daughter would be sent to a foster home.
Göppingen, October 26. A "dark-skinned" man (dunklem Teint) drew a
knife on a 54-year-old female train conductor when she asked him for his
ticket.

prison for stabbing to death a 22-year-old assistant at a refugee shelter.
Saarbrücken, June 7. A 27-year-old Syrian stabbed to death a 30-year-old
psychologist working for the German Red Cross. The attacker and the
psychologist reportedly got into an argument during a therapy session at a
counselling center for traumatized refugees.
Attackers are often repeat offenders known to police:
Gießen, November 15. A 29-year-old Kosovar and a 19-year-old Albanian
drew a knife on an undercover detective who caught them shoplifting. Police
said the Kosovar was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant.
Bielefeld, October 31. A 39-year-old man drew a knife on police during a
routine identification check. Police said he had a long rap sheet that
included burglary and dealing drugs.
Düsseldorf, October 17. A 27-year-old migrant, Khudeda Jamal Jindi, from
Iraq, slashed a man in the face at Burgplatz. Police said he had a long rap
sheet that included other knife crimes; it remains unclear why he was never
deported.
Arnschwang, June 4. Mostafa J., a 41-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan
, stabbed to death a five-year-old Russian at a refugee shelter. It later
emerged that the man had a criminal history in Germany and should have been
deported in 2011 but was not.
Recent knife-jihad attacks include:
Hamburg, July 28. A 26-year-old Palestinian, Ahmed A., stabbed to death one
person and injured several others at a supermarket in the Barmbek district.
Although he repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" and said he was a jihadist who
wanted to die as a martyr, the newspaper Die Welt wrote: "It is still
unclear whether the Barmbek murder is the work of a convinced Islamist or
the desperate act of a mentally troubled person. His approach seems
downright schizophrenic — or is it indeed calculated?"
Meanwhile, other knife-related crimes reported during October include:
