I have attended many Christmas markets over the years. They are so crowded especially at the moment as German children finished school for the Christmas holidays. Frightening, my prayers are with all the victim's šŸ™

@efacsen this article is from a very well regarded German newspaper.

You may want to keep your head in the sand but many don't.

You can keep bombarding me with these articles all night if you want

But you can't answer a simple question about what you have repeatedly asserted

Stop digging

Yes I can as there is so much information online. I will not give a percentage as I am not a statician, statistics have never been my strong point .
But again I will say one lost life or one life altering injury has been one too many.
A more pertinent question would be how many thousands have lost their lives or been injured in these attacks accross Europe?

Many singular attacks often don't make the media so we will never be able to gauge a true figure only speculate.

This is from Europol goes up as far as 2021, makes for interesting reading.

In 2022 965,665 people have been seeking asylum in the EU. There have been 3 jihadist attacks. Do the maths.
Also do you actually read the links you are?

How many killed & injured in those attacks? That is 3 attacks too many.
How many murders, rapes ,stabbings have been committed?

Try researching harder. Here are some statistics for 2022 including foiled attacks, the stats don't include what groups or individuals behind the attacks/planned attacks.

Obviously you are not including this horrific attack in Istanbul in your "reseach" seeing as I have to spoonfeed you this!

Police officers block the street after an explosion in Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul: Six dead, dozens wounded in Turkey explosion

Turkey blames Kurdish rebels for an explosion in a busy shopping street in the heart of Istanbul.

So what percentage of asylum seekers is this? More than 1 % or less.
Also read the information you posted. Everything is in there.
This is so ridicolous,you havw to be a troll.

I have no idea . As I said above I'm not a statician. Also what about rapes, murders, stabbings, muggings? Have you stats for those?
Also Katter no loss of life is acceptable

Probably because it's not a Jihadist attack.

According to this article it is a terrorist attack. 6 dead , 80 injured.

"On Monday morning, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said a Syrian national - Ahlam Albashir - suspected of having left the bomb had been arrested by police. She was among 47 people detained by police. He accused the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of responsibility."

Yes I did, 6 innocent people died & 80 were injured due to a terrorist attack. It doesn't matter who was responsible. Innocent people lost their lives.

No. It's simply a terrorist attack & innocent civilians died unnecessarily, 6 to be precise & 80 injured.

Tell me you know nothing about Turkish politics while telling me you know nothing about Turkish politics.

Granted, it isn’t really PKK’s style but nothing about that article on the attack suggests jihadist.

Treetops11 · 23/12/2024 01:37

All I know is that 6 people died & 80 were injured in a bombing in Istanbul. Politics or no politics it is not acceptable & should never be the norm. Do you condone these atrocities?

Yes it's a terrorist attack - but isn't your area of interest terrorist attacks by islamist refugees?

Also you don't need to be a statistician to make a guesstimate - semi-illiterate peasants manage it

And lastly you need to read beyond the headline and understand the text of the links you compulsively post

RafaistheKingofClay · 23/12/2024 01:40

I don’t condone them, but I’m not sure what point you are trying to make with it.

RafaistheKingofClay · 23/12/2024 01:41

I might as well include the IRA and ETA if you are going to include Kurdish separatists.

No it's senseless murders & attacks on civilians in general I care about. It doesn't matter what the cause or political agenda is. We cannot accept it.

My point is thousands of innocent people are being murdered & injured annually due to terrorist attacks. It doesn't matter what background or group they are affiliated with. Innocent people are dying

I couldn't give a ballpark figure as I don't want to spread misinformation but there have been many attacks just like the Christmas market one . The Bataclan, the Moscow concert, Arianna Grande concert, the Dublin stabbings, 2018 Berlin Christmas market. 2024 Christmas markets to name but a few...
How many lives lost & changed forever in those atrocities?

Look at Sweden for instance they have admitted multiculturalism has not worked in their country.

Edited

Do you read your links before you post them or just the headline? It seems there's that little comprehension issues again. This article is about what a right wing media outlet quote a right wing politician from DENMARK says about Sweden. You know they're two different countries, right? Your links aren't exactly independent, reliable or even saying what you think.
