German authorities are looking into a possible political motive for a stabbing which took place ahead of local elections in the western town of Stolberg, officials said on Monday. The victim’s father, a Turk, appeared on a campaign ad for the anti-Muslim immigration AfD party.
DW A 21-year-old Iraqi Muslim has been arrested in connection to the incident. Officials believe he stabbed a German national with a Turkish background early on Sunday, hours before polls were set to open.
The attacker was an Iraqi man with a German passport who is said to have contacts in the Islamic extremist scene, according to the Bild newspaper. Even before the act, he had been classified as a “test case” by the state security and is now considered a threat, the Der Taggespiegl reported.
The attacker allegedly opened a car door while the victim was inside the vehicle and stabbed him in the arm. He reportedly shouted “Allahu akbar” during the incident.
Violence breaks out at Germany’s far right party conference
German police in the city of Braunschweig resorted to horses, dogs, pepper spray and batons to quell hundreds of protesters who had gathered outside a state party conference of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) on Saturday.
According to a police statement, an organization entitled “Alliance against the Right” formed blockades to prevent delegates from attending the conference. This led to “verbal and physical abuse” of some of the estimated 500 attendees.
The 23-year-old survived but sustained “serious injuries” which required emergency surgery.
According to the authorities, the victim’s father is Turkish and had previously appeared in a political ad for the conservative AfD party. The father was shown with a group of people including the local AfD leader, Hans Wolf, and a caption reading “German Turks also want change.”

Son of Turkish man who supports the anti-Islamization ‘Alternative for Germany’ (AfD) party.
A COURAGEOUS Man and a HERO! God bless him, his father and family and all PATRIOTIC people!
Please God, Grant this man a speedy recovery. May Your Light shine all over Germany, Europe and Britain. Thank You God, Amen.
The confusion in Germany today is that anybody who is against the islamic takeover of Germany/Europe is a Nazi whereas these morons seem to have no idea that in fact islam was a lover and supporter of the Nazis decades ago.
So islam and nazi are in it together so how can a anti islamic party be a nazi…
The irony, let alone the basic ignorance, of The Left of today makes me wanna scream at them sometimes, WAKE UP and READ the quran, LISTEN to what the leaders of islam are saying, believe them when they say “We will make Europe islamic”, they may be crazy but I believe that they will do as they say.
German youth are confused, funny how the Japanese youth are not confused…
Right and what the Germans forget and the left succesfully lied. The Nazis was and are SOZIALISTEN (SOZIALISTS) and not conservative, The german People believe this lie but the sozialists from back then was two wings the national and the intenational and yesterday the nationals have tried it and today the internationaen sozialists will do it better…promise. Really that is what is happening and it is happening in your neighborhood as all can see. What comes after that???. The police knows what is happening but the blm movement is doing the rest and the police hide and go up against the people but never the left or migrants.
The German Police by now should know it was Salafist jihadi terrorism and treat it as such.
I just love Belgian Malinois.
The 2080 people cited to be terrorists does not nearly cover the true scope of the threat. Already 2 years ago the amount of Salafists who could potentially turn to terrorism was already way above 10,000.
The same time Antifa thugs throughout the country – with explicit political support from left Upper and Lower House members – riot against the only true political opposition left as hard as they can.
The phrase Allahu…. ought to be treated as a war cry recognizable as a reason for justifiable homicide by the person at whom the phrase is directed at. This is where our Second Amendment rights come in useful. Off a few of these ‘criers’ and the war cry would become a thing of the past – at least in the States.
The surprise here is the Turk in AfD, not the Muslum stabbing.
Az, Is it possible the Turk is not a Muslim?
He could be non Muslum by choice.
Yes, that’s right
That is no surprise. I am in the AFD and we have just about all nations present, we even have a jewish wing but that is something that the mainstream would never write because then the nazi statement would be uncoverd as that what it is a lie. The AFD wants that the government keeps the laws that they wrote for all. Germanys Politicians break our laws everyday since 04,09,2015 and anybody that wants that the laws are held is a nazi or islamophob (whatever that is) or even worse. Our children are being learned that analsex is good and homo is great and that they are second class humans because they are German and they have moral issues. Germany is being offerd so that the united states of europe can rise and then all the different cultures are finished and only one will be left and that is the islam….have fun.
Daniel, I have posted more than once about the Jewish wing of the AfD, so there is information in English available about it.
