Or so his father told told SPIEGEL TV. I don’t want to trivialise the trials and tribulations of those who genuinely have mental problems, or the grief seeing a loved one suffer so can cause their family. But it seems to afflict too many of this sudden attack syndrome from an Islamic background.
I’ll paraphrase this from SPIEGEL on line as I’m having to substantially supplement my schoolgirl German with Google translate.
There are no indications of a terrorist background or a political radicalization, says State Attorney Ulla Hingst. So what has motivated the culprit?
SPIEGEL TV spoke to the father of the arrested man. His son Ali D. was born in Iran and came to Germany at the age of six. He attended a high school, but he left school without a high school diploma. he is currently unemployed and lives in an apartment in Luebeck.
The father describes his son as psychologically vulnerable.
“He felt haunted by the neighbors.” His son claimed that they maltreated him with harmful radiation attacks through the wall. “He always said, ‘My body is burning.’ Or: ‘They want to break my eyes.’ ” His father said he wasn’t religious.
He was also in dispute with his former partner over access and custody of their child who he had not been allowed to see for some time.
The events inside the bus are described. Ali D had a backpack which contained some sort of inflammible accelerant. This was alight and smouldering. The bus driver took a fire extinguisher to the bag and Ali D punched him to prevent this. Ali D then pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed passengers. The driver had the presence of mind to open the bus doors s the passengers could escape. nearby police officers arrested Ali D.
He was taken before the magistrate this morning. SPIEGEL on line says he is charged with serious bodily harm and attempted arson. Another German publication says the charge is attempted murder. Several people remain in hospital with serious injuries.
He has given no account to the police or courts as to his motive.
I expect he will be quietly dealt with by the courts and discreetly conveyed to a secure mental hospital. Life will go on. Until next time.

It is a difficult question with regard to intention. I have no doubt that the poison of Islam has soured his mental processes, that he feels alienated from German society and that Islam and the various ethnicities practcing it provide model for integration. The problem is how can this be reflected in sentencing. Our justice system is based on reflecting Western norms and there are now people who do not share those norms.
Sue r, for starters let’s work on prevention more. Leave for now the psychologizing academics of intention who are still oblivious to the obvious 1400 year consequences of jihad resulting from teachings from Koran, Hadith, and Sira. // Orthodox Muslim good, Outsider bad and thus only worthy of death or enslavement. // Prevention — Publicize that hereafter punishment for terrorist acts and attempts will far exceed the harm done or attempted. Murderers will be buried with pigs (the anecdotal Pershing Punishment and Warning) to preclude their entry to paradise. Mutilaters will be placed in solitary confinement and placed on a diet of beans, rice, and lard. Failed terrorist attempters and planners will be placed on prison work-or-die farms for 50 year minimum terms. No TV, no AC, no radio. No more our behaving as Mr. Nice Guy. It’s time for rough justice to treat the existential threat. // If you’re not going to play by Western rules of fairness, you are bringing the consequences upon yourself as self-punishment.
