Germany: After the Islamic terror, the Lord Mayor of Würzburg sent a scandalous letter to all citizens of the city in which he played down the Islamic terror

After the massacre in Würzburg last Friday, in which a Somali man used a knife to kill three women in a shop and seriously injure five others, including an eleven-year-old girl, Würzburg’s mayor Christian Schuchardt ( Christian Social Union, CSU) caused a scandal with a letter he sent out to all city residents.

Instead of dealing with the victims in detail and expressing his condolences to them, he only dedicated a few words to them at the beginning of the letter. Mayor Schuchardt, on the other hand, dealt at length with preventing a possible prejudgement of the perpetrator, who had come to Germany in 2015, and drew questionable parallels.

He wrote: “Even we Germans were not condemned across the board after the Second World War – just as little is the case now for Somalis or refugees in general. This kind of compartmentalisation must come to an end.”

The question with which he concluded the paragraph, however, raises the most questions: “This is my moral demand, my wish for society, which I know cannot be fulfilled. For how would you feel today as a foreigner in our city?”

Whether he wants to justify or relativise something about the crime with this question, in which, among others, a 49-year-old mother also died defending her 11-year-old daughter, who was seriously injured, remains unanswered.

However, the massacre, which is now classified by several experts as Islamistically motivated, had nothing to do with religion or the like. The mayor went on to write that “the crimes of individuals can never be attributed to population groups, religions or nationalities. All the more reason for our social efforts to educate the public and work against these crimes.

He also stated that he had cried last night. Also for the victims, as he wrote at the beginning of the letter. But in the third paragraph of his letter he also wrote that he “cried for the city.He also stated that he had cried last night. Also for the victims, as he wrote at the beginning of the letter. But in the third paragraph of his letter he also wrote that he “cried for the city. Because this equation is so obvious. Refugees, immigrants, religious warriors and terrorists – massacres. And yet- not everything that is obvious is true.” The police would work on solving the crime, but it is “already blamed despite ongoing investigations.”

The Lord Mayor also wrote that “the crimes of individuals can never be attributed to population groups, religions or nationalities. All the more reason for our social efforts to educate and work against these crimes.

The integration advisory board of the city of Würzburg also published a confusing statement. Condolences to the victims and relatives were only expressed in a subordinate sentence. The majority of the statement dealt with the possible “effects on the life of the Somali community.

“The Somali community is now deeply unsettled, according to the Foreigners and Integration Advisory Council. They feared repercussions on their own lives, it said. Therefore, work would now have to be done to ensure that the act did not turn into sweeping condemnation.”

The Integration Council considered it particularly important to prevent politically conservative or right-wing parties from profiting from this massacre. “It is also important to prevent what happened from being politically exploited by anti-immigration forces.

The tweet by the Catholic Rural Youth of Bavaria seems particularly absurd. In response to the knife murders, they posted that it was now necessary to “set a stronger example against hate speech on the net”.
