Magdeburg shock: Saudi doctor or radical mole?
Magdeburg is in shock: a horrific attack on the popular Christmas market has turned the peaceful festival into chaos. Five people were brutally murdered and many more were seriously injured. There is great horror in the city and across the country. But who is behind this act? The perpetrator is 50-year-old Taleb Jawad Al Abdulmohsen, a specialist in psychiatry from Saudi Arabia who has lived in Germany since 2006. However, although he portrayed himself as a radical critic of Islam, there are considerable doubts about this portrayal. How THE AXIS OF GOOD reports, his alleged anti-Islam stance is particularly questioned by committed ex-Muslims.
Many media initially reported that Abdulmohsen was an opponent of Islam, a supporter of the AfD and a supporter of Elon Musk. This presentation offered an opportunity to exploit the case politically. But like that THE AXIS OF GOOD and daily news According to reports, there are concerns that Abdulmohsen may actually be a Saudi agent. Ex-Muslims like Hamed Abdel-Samad and Ali Utlu see him as a mole who spied against renegade Saudis in Germany. His tirades against organizations like Secular Refugee Aid, which care for Saudi refugees, seem to support this theory.
Confused loner or strategic mole?
What really drove the suspected assassin? In interviews, Abdulmohsen has said he is an aggressive critic of Islam, but many exiled Saudis describe him as isolated and aggressive. In addition, German politicians and authorities had already become aware of him before the events. Like daily news highlights, security authorities have received repeated warnings about his behavior and his threats critical of Islam.
The perfidious plan?
On social networks, Abdulmohsen, who was known for his extreme views, strongly opposed the so-called Islamization of Germany, and his activities even alarmed the Saudi Arabian authorities, who warned Germany of a possible danger. But how far the network reached and whether there was a deeper strategy behind the attack remains unclear. Interestingly, in his last message, Abdulmohsen declared himself as someone who wanted to disrupt the secularism movement and hinted that big changes were coming. Despite multiple tips from security circles, the police remained inactive and the crime was carried out.
More and more people are now asking themselves: Was this man really who he claimed to be, or was he manipulating his surroundings to achieve a perfidious goal? The investigation continues as the city of Magdeburg and the entire country search for answers and safety. The exact background and role of Abdulmohsen will probably remain in the dark for some time while investigators continue to work intensively on the investigation.
