A Christmas market in Magdeburg Germany turned tragic on Friday night as a car plowed through crowds, killing at least two people and injuring 60 others, 15 of whom remain in serious condition.
The suspect, identified as a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian doctor who has lived in Germany since 2006, was arrested at the scene.
Authorities have not disclosed a motive, but investigations are underway to determine whether the attack was deliberate or linked to any wider agenda.
The suspect, who reportedly drove his BMW through barriers before ramming into the unsuspecting crowd, was apprehended by armed police.
Footage aired on German television shows officers ordering the man to lie on the ground, initially approaching with caution amid fears he might have an explosive device.
Unlike prior attacks at European Christmas markets—often carried out by younger men inspired by extremist groups—the suspect in this case was not on any terror watchlists.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to visit the region, while Saxony-Anhalt state premier Reiner Haseloff expressed condolences to the victims and vowed to support the ongoing investigation.

Every politician and NGO who promote and profit off of replacement migration, who call for censorship and arrest of their own citizens, who champion and defend a violent and bloodthirsty desert cult posing as a religion, has ever more and more blood on their hands.
They clearly do not care. We need to start rebuilding guillotines until they do
Thank you, you’re quite right. A desert cult posing as a religion.
Send them back.
Saudi says they don’t harbour terrorists, Okay….
He had a bomb, explosives in the car.
And stop funding them with our sweat equity.
Muhammad himself said, “I became victorious through terror.”
Paraphrased quotes from the Qur’an:
“Smite the necks of the infidels.” [Head cutting]
“Bind them a tight bind and ransom them handsomely.” [Hostage taking]
“Kill them wherever you find them.” [Random acts of violence against innocents]
“Spread fear in the hearts of the infidels.” [Victory through terror]
“If he changes his religion, kill him.” [Apostacy laws]
Given what Islam teaches, it is testimony to Muslims that there is not more violence done in the name of Islam. What I mean by this is that it would be very difficult for the average Muslim who has compassion and empathy to behave as badly as Muhammad taught.
This is what happened to the Banu Qurayza tribe:

There were many others that were also destroyed by Muhammad and the destruction continues up to the present day.
It’s very sad that Muslims do not leave Islam in large numbers. However, I appreciate that they cannot because of the Islamic apostacy laws which state that a Muslim who leaves Islam shall be killed (and the four main legal authorities in Islam agree on this): In the past the state would do this but nowadays their own family might. Even if they could leave then they would become a minority in an Islamic country and still be in extreme danger, always living as a Dhimmi (a subjugated person).
To compound the problem, Islam has never had a reformation like Christianity where the power of the state was divided from the religion. Atta Turk a.k.a. Mustafa Kemal tried in Turkey just after WW1. However, the current PM is trying to reverse that in order to bring back “the glory days” of the Ottoman Empire.
