Brandenburg gate: The most famous landmark of Berlin, Germany. The Muslim Times has the best collection for counter terrorism and to establish the sanctity of life, regardless of religion, ethnicity or nationality
Police arrested a 21-year-old suspected right-wing extremist after he threatened to kill Muslims in Germany. The man reportedly said he wanted to carry out an attack similar to the deadly Christchurch mosque shootings.
The 21-year-old man from the northern city of Hildesheim made the threat in an anonymous online chat forum on May 29, announcing his intention to carry out an attack “with multiple dead,” prosecutors in the city of Celle said in a statement.
He referenced the March 2019 Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand where a gunman killed 51 people, saying that he wanted to carry out a similar attack in Germany.
“The goal was to kill Muslims,” prosecutors said.
The man is believed to have been considering carrying out a mass-casualty attack for some time, also seeking to attract worldwide media attention.
During a raid on the man’s apartment, police uncovered data files containing right-wing extremist content as well as weapons that “may have been purchased to carry out the attack plans.”
