Should we have a religious test for migrants? No, what a terrible notion. What we need are Syrian Muslim migrants. Otherwise who will blow themselves up at our music festivals?
The man who blew himself up and injured 12 people after being turned away from an open-air music festival was a 27-year-old Syrian who had been denied asylum, Bavaria's top security official said early Monday.
"We don't know if this man planned on suicide or if he had the intention of killing others," Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said.
We can't know if the Muslim suicide bomber wanted to kill anyone else. Maybe he was just suicidal.
He added that the man's request for asylum was rejected a year ago, but he was allowed to remain in Germany because of the strife in Syria.
Three of the 12 victims suffered serious injuries, Herrmann said.
The second paragraph was caused by the first paragraph.
A spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Ansbach said the attacker's motive was unclear.
Of course it is. He was probably a depressed secular lone wolf with family problems. We must not jump to any rational conclusions.
