On Thursday, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker drove into a crowd in Munich, reportedly motivated by Islamism. Following his arrest, he shouted "Allahu Akbar," but authorities found no links to an Islamist group. This incident mirrors a troubling trend of violence in Germany, such as a recent stabbing attack in Aschaffenburg and a deadly car attack at a Christmas market. Experts emphasize growing public anxiety and a perceived need for more government control to enhance safety in communities amid such violent acts.
"First knife attacks and now a car attack are leaving people feeling extremely unsafe, because they have the feeling that they are no longer safe in their normal environment and in their place of residence."
"The suspected perpetrator appears to have been motivated by Islamism. However, there was no evidence to suggest that he was part of an Islamist network."
