Terrorist attack at Berlin
Daily Mail said:
At least nine people have been killed and more than 50 injured after a lorry ploughed through a crowd of shoppers at 40mph in a busy Christmas market in Berlin.
German police at the scene have indicated the incident is likely to be a terror attack.
The vehicle sped through a crowd of shoppers at the market on Breitscheidplatz Square, outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in west Berlin.
The driver of the truck was arrested near the scene and is in police custody after initially fleeing the area, while a passenger in the vehicle died at the scene.
Police in Berlin are now using Twitter to urge locals to stay in their homes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she is 'mourning the dead'.

As always, condolances to the victims and their beloved ones.
That being said, I do not understand the issue or panic here.
You vote for multiculture - you get multiculture.

You say, without giving any information whatsoever about the identity of the driver, let alone the motif or links.
Before yous start spewing crap, perhaps wait and see if there is anything supporting it?

I think the crux here Kir is that incidents like these have never really taken place before the MC started. Thus it is only logical to link them together, but you are right, one should await the identity.

I'd sooner say extremism at work than multiculturalism. Or is it radicalism?
Either way, it is still sad.

So, in the same day, you get an assassinated diplomat and a Nice attack copy-cat, sprinkled with some rumors about gunfires in Zurich. What a coincidence!

That's why I used quotes, no need to get triggered But I will apologize if the attacker will be proven not to be part of a certain ethnicity.

The only way this could possibly be the fault of "multiculturalism"(as absurd as that is) is if the driver is part of an ethnic minority of at most third generation, they were not influenced by narcotics or alcohol and they have no ties to any extremist political groups, say, ISIS. Then and only then could multiculturalism even be considered but even then it would be ridiculous at best.

I understand why some people have objections against multi-culturalism in the context (the details) that it's applied in current Europe, some objections seem reasonable, some not. However, linking such attacks to it is really far-fetched. If anything, if Europe was more nationalist, you would have more of those attacks, all it takes is a few radicals. We had two bombings this month again, one in Istanbul, one in Kayseri, are they also because of multi-culturalism? As long as the Middle East is in heat by global conflict, this is the new reality, multi-culturalism or not.

Well, saying is multi-culturalism is a sarcasm label and points vs all the left cucks who believe culturally non-homogeneous societies can survive, while we don't have a single of such examples but every fact shows the opposite.
The reasons are multiples, obviously, but one of the most predominant is that the arabo-muslim culture is antithetical to ours, and will naturally generate endless conflicts. It is worthless to come to an agreement on that, only votes at the right time can save our civilization, and I am confident smart people will wisely vote sooner or later. Is just a matter of time.

@Sal
Almost all modern countries had been culturally non-homogeneous since the very early stages of capitalism, even more so after WW2 when nationalism lost its intellectual appeal, not to mention all the empires of the past which were directly the ideological result of culturally non-homogeneous structures. Cultural homogeneity is the historical exception in most cases, not the rule.
@Liz.
I talked about the details of that attack in the Interesting Articles thread. Yes, Islam sucks and no one on their right mind would call it the religion of peace but thousands of Muslims lived in the West for centuries without a pattern of such attacks, centuries... this is not about theology but politics below the surface.

^ This.
You need to identify the agents that are compelling the violent behavior. i.e. (common scenarios)
1) Drugs
2) Terrorism
3) Radical behavior (psychopathy)
4) Profit-motivated
In this case, it is more than likely #2, with some #3 added in.
Do we all understand why it is non-specific/dangerous to say that multiculturalism is the agent. You need to give a correct diagnosis. You can't say "It's because he's Egyptian" because that's not very helpful for a justice system.

The point is you can't force multiculturalism, it's either assimilation or conflict. As long as 2 cultures can't respect each other, and the migrants can't embrace the culture of their host country, they can't live together. It's as simple as that.

Europe just isn't as accustomed to being ****ed up like the rest of the world. Your civilization will continue just fine. I promise. There's going to be a 0.01% chance of being plowed over by violent crime as opposed to a 0.001% chance, but life will go on.
Europeans intentionally move to America everyday, and we've been ****ed up since forever. If you've got a robust market, lots of variety & opportunity, a nice retirement package, and things to do, then people will want to live there, even if there is a slight possibility of getting driven over by a lorry with a crazy guy at the helm.
In the big picture, nobody is going to move out of Germany because 9 people died at the hands of a crazy person. If they do, then they have some extremely poor decision-making skills. It's one of the safest places in the world and you can enjoy a high standard of living.

Multicultural doesn't necessary means non homogeneous. I am positive on multi-culturalism (as it is my case in France) but only when it is homogeneous, which means the cultures mixing are breeding from same values.
Sometimes the religion can be a serious brake at allowing two cultures becoming homogeneous and it relativizes the secular culture in place, which explains why I believe artu could integrate like a piece of cake in occident but not all his very close neighbors, accordingly to each one religious position.
