Bloody attack in Villach: A student dies, the city mourns!
in Villach, the second largest city of Carinthia, overshadowed a terrible incident: a 14-year-old student was stabbed in public with a knife, while five other passers-by were also injured. The perpetrator, a 23-year-old Syrian, is said to have been radicalized as a IS fighter by a Tikok jihadist. A brave 42-year-old Syrian, who works as a foodora supplier, prevented worse things from using his car to the attacker with his car and stopped the act of violence. This shattering act has ensured bewilder and grief in the city, and the crime scene has now become a place of commemoration with numerous candles and flowers. Political reactions to this act of violence did not fail to do so, and again and again it is required to deploy the delinquent asylum seekers and to introduce a more restrictive migration policy, such as Press reported.
radicalization and blasphemy
The Islamist attack raises important questions: Is it conceivable that there is anchored violence potential in Islam? Viennese theologian Prof. Jan-Heiner Tück commented in a comment and vehemently emphasized: "To kill in the name of God is blasphemy!" He asked Islamic theology to make it clear that the one who kills innocently is not a martyr but a terrorist. As early as 2014, 120 Islam scholars recognized that it was strictly forbidden to kill innocent people in Islam. Tück also praised the statement of the Islamic community in Austria, which clearly distanced itself from the crime, what emphasized.
In view of the violence, the question arises of the causes of the radicalization of the perpetrator. Social and psychological factors may play a role that can lead to such extremism. While the city of Villach combines mourning, a young classmate of the victim brought the pain of the community to the point in a moving appearance in the "time in the picture" and called up to commemorate. "We just have to keep him in memory - and with the love he gave us, we have to think of him," she said in tears. Her words are a strong testimony of a life that ended much too early.Details | |
