Nazis on reddit are claiming that it was an Islamist, so there will probably be anti-immigrant pogroms regardless of whether that's true.

News articles are saying there are Islamist connections too. That wouldn't surprise me given how absolutely batshit religious people can be.

The police confirm it. In Germany, it's unlikely that there will be progroms for the moment, particularly not because of an attack on queer people. The far-right hates us too after all.

They hate queer people, but they love excuses to do violence.
