Nov 28,2023 5:31 pm

The Scene in One of the bars targeted by The Gunman in Hanau, Germany

The Shooting death of nine people, which is treated in hookah bars in Hanau, Germany, by the German investigators as an act of legal terrorism.

The Attack shocked Germany and added to fears that The Police can still crucial clues about violent racists, and their networks, despite previous extreme-right acts of violence are missing.

The ability of violent racists to stay for long periods of time under The Police radar was exposed in The National -socialist underground " (NSU) case. A neo-Nazi cell that killed 10 people, including nine immigrants between 2000 and 2007, while The Police , the attacks could not establish a connection.

for The Authorities , whose anti-terrorism efforts, the focus is on The Threat of violent Islamists have had.

The Hanau suspect was called Tobias R. The 43-year-old was described as a lone gunman, and was later found dead on the house next to his dead mother. He was a licensed gun owner and had not been studied so far.

The Attack sparked a debate in Germany about the extent of extreme right-wing rhetoric, the promotion of racist violence.

The right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has Now became the largest opposition party, accused again and again with hate speech, including in the Parliament.

the support for the AfD swelled after nearly a million non-EU migrants in Germany in 2015 - presented by nationalists as an Islamic threat to German culture.

The Head of The Social Democrats (SPD), Saskia esque, described the Hanau crime rights "terrorist" and said: "for too long, we have the designation of avoided this in clear language".

the AfD group chief Alice ryegrass condemned The Attack Hanau, Germany, as a "terrible act".

But Björn Höcke, One of the AfD's most controversial politicians, has to replace language as an echo of the racist conspiracy theories of the spread of neo-Nazis, including the "great exchange" - The Claim that the Jews and the liberals want to "inferior" races, the white race.

He also spoke of "remigration" is to force the racist to white, because they are considered non-European.

He was in the centre, when a liberal politician votes for Prime Minister by the AfD. There is no political deals with the rights, it was taboo to do in post-war Germany.

The SPD, Michael Roth , who said the Minister of state for Europe, attacks Like The One in Hanau, Germany, to be nourished "ideologically, by the fascists as Höcke".

Recent right-wing attacks in Germany

right-wing murders since the NSU case raised questions about Germany, the protection devices against neo-Nazis and other racists. Their propaganda is widely used on The Internet and you have proved how quickly you can use Social Media to mobilize their supporters.

The hall of the synagogue attack last October, better protection requests triggered by The Police of the Jewish sites: no additional security installed was for the Jewish Yom Kippur , and only a thick, reinforced door prevented a bloodbath.

Germany remains haunted by the reign of terror unleashed by Hitler's Nazi regime and its mass murder of the Jews in the 1940s.

extreme right-wing violence hits a sensitive nerve in a country that outlaws Nazi symbols and propaganda, and proud of their democratic institutions.

The German government estimates that around 13,000 violent right-wing extremists are active in Germany. This is a huge monitoring challenge, in a country with strong laws against the violation of personal privacy.

Prof Peter Neumann , a terrorism expert at King's College, London, written in excellent English, without grammatical errors.

It shows that "he is a foreigner and non-white hates," says Prof Neumann. "Although he does not emphasize Islam, he calls for the destruction of the various countries in North Africa , the Middle East and Central Asia (all of which happen to the majority of Muslims). "
