13 February 2025

Police say the suspect is a 24-year-old Afghanistan national who has been apprehended at the scene of the incident, which the authorities believe was intentional.

At least 28 people have been injured in Munich after a car drove into a crowd of demonstrators near the city’s centre, police said.

The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghanistan-born man currently in Germany as an asylum seeker, was arrested on-site and posed no further danger, authorities confirmed.

Bavaria’s Minister President Markus Söder said the incident was “presumably an attack”. Munich’s Mayor Dieter Reiter said that “many people have been injured, including children.”

Söder, the leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), said in the aftermath of the attacks that the incident shows that “something has to change in Germany and quickly”.

“We cannot go from attack to attack and show concern, but we must actually change something,” he added.

Local media, citing authorities, said that an extremist motivation could not be ruled out.

A police spokesperson said that the car approached a demonstration organised by Verdi, one of Germany’s largest trade unions, from behind, before overtaking a police vehicle and deliberately ploughing into the crowd.

Officers fired at the vehicle before the suspect was detained.

Police said they believed the suspect acted alone. He was previously known to the police for drug and theft incidents. …

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of the far-right AfD, which is currently second in the polls, called for a “turning point” in migration and asylum policy. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/02/13/major-police-operation-under-way-in-munich-after-car-hits-crowd-near-train-station

Bavarian state premier Markus Söder told reporters that “I must tell you it looks like this was an attack” after a car plowed into a union demonstration in central Munich on Thursday. …

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described Thursday’s car ramming incident as “awful,” adding that the suspect must be punished and deported.

“What has happened is awful,” Scholz told reporters. “From my point of view it is quite clear, this attacker cannot count on any mercy, he must be punished and he must leave the country.”

Scholz is the chancellor candidate for his center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) in the coming parliamentary elections, where migration issues have been at the forefront of debates. The opposition conservativeChristian Democratic Party (CDU), which is leading in the polls, has accused the Scholz government of being too lenient on migration issues. …

“An Afghan citizen drove a car into a crowd and injured many people, some very seriously,” Söder posted in response to the car plowing into a police-secured demonstration march by the Verdi trade union.

“This is not the first attack of this kind. Sympathy and coming to terms with the past are important. But something fundamental has to change in Germany,” Söder wrote on the messaging platform X. …

The arrested driver of the small car was a 24-year-old asylum seeker, police said.

Speaking to reporters, Söder described the incident as “a slap in the face.” https://www.dw.com/en/germany-updates-suspected-car-attack-in-munich-injures-28/live-71588368

Perhaps this latest attack was the ‘last straw’ to push Germans to take stronger actions against migrants.

Germany has an election later this month and this incident, combined with the more deadly terrorist car incident in Germany in December (see Arab terrorist kills, Elon Musk supports Germany’s AfD, & AfD co-chair supports Donald Trump?) looks to increase support for politicians who want stricter immigrant controls as well as deportations.

Will it go on like this for ever?,’ far-right AfD leader asks after Munich attack

13 February 2025

Co-leader of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party, Alice Weidel, has now also commented on the attack on X, picking up on the identity of the suspect.

“My deepest sympathies go out to the victims and their families. Will it go on like this for ever?,” she asks, calling for a “turning point” in migration and asylum policy in the country.

The AfD is now second in the polls, at about 21% and growing, as our poll tracker shows. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/feb/13/ukraine-nato-hegseth-trump-putin-zelenskyy-europe-news-live?filterKeyEvents=false&page=with%3Ablock-67ade6708f0825be56eb97a7#block-67ade6708f0825be56eb97a7

BERLIN (AP) — Alternative for Germany appears to be heading for its strongest national election result yet this month and is fielding its first candidate to lead the country. Even though it’s highly unlikely to take a share of power soon, it has become a factor that other politicians can’t ignore and helped shape Germany’s debate on migration. …

AfD is going into the Feb. 23 election with renewed confidence and radical language. Alice Weidel, its first candidate for chancellor, has embraced the term “remigration” as the party calls for large-scale deportations of people with no legal entitlement to be in Germany — a politically loaded word that featured in last year’s controversy. https://apnews.com/article/germany-far-right-afd-election-migration-weidel-53ed34f57556ad394c53868726d47194

Regarding the AfD, a while back, we put out the following video related to it:

14:22

AfD: Prelude to a Hitler Beast?

Germany’s Alternative für Deutshland (Alternative for Germany in English) party celebrated its 10th anniversary on February 6, 2023.

It objects to:
❌More illegal migration
❌More asylum abuse
❌More crime
❌More housing shortage
❌More Cancel Culture

The AfD also asserts, “Now it’s time to change that. And that’s only possible with us.” Many are concerned that the AfD’s growing political influence will impact Germany. Can a strong man worse than Adolf Hitler, that the Bible calls the Beast rise up from Germany? Could Europe reorganize with a small backing to put this leader into place? Does the AfD want to make a deal with Russia? Will Germany make a future deal with Russia that would be opposed to the USA? Does the AfD want religion involved to meet its objectives in such a way that it could support the coming King of the North Beast power that the Bible warns will arise in Europe? Could Europe unite under such a leader according to scripture? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.

Here is a link to our video: AfD: Prelude to a Hitler Beast?

The rise of AfD reminds some of pre-WWII Germany.

There will be migrant crises and other issues.

Eventually, Europe will reach a breaking point and change. Many Germans want major change now–and are believed to vote accordingly.

Although it will NOT happen in this month’s election, the Bible shows that Europe will reorganize and a certain strong leader will emerge:

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)

The final European Beast leader, who is also known as the final King of the North, will ultimately promote his religion (Daniel 11:36-38; which will not be Islam, he will at first feign and claim a form of Roman Catholicism). He will make a deceptive deal with the leader of a confederation of peoples in North Africa and the Middle East (cf. Daniel 11:27; Psalm 83:3-8). The confederation will include Syria and Turkey, but Turkey will eventually back out of it and then support the European beast (for details, see Turkey in Prophecy).

Islamic issues will be a factor in the rise of this Beast leader–the Bible shows that a European Beast leader will, after destroying the USA (Daniel 11:39), push against and overwhelm a power from the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43).

It should be noted that this Beast leader is NOT Russian (see also Is Russia the King of the North?). Despite claims from Protestant Joel Richardson, this Beast leader is NOT Islamic (see also Is There an Islamic Antichrist?).

Notice a Roman Catholic prophecy:

Old English Prophecy: In Germany begins a dance, Which passes through Italy, Spain, and France, But England shall pay the piper. (Dupont Y. Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), 1973, pp. 21-22)

What kind of a dance?

One that will impact Muslims (as well as another type that will overpower the UK, cf. Daniel 8:24-25; Isaiah 17:3).

It appears that migrant issues will be one of the triggers to get Europe to ultimately reorganize as the Bible teaches it will in Revelation 17:12-13, Daniel 11:21-38, Daniel 2:41-43, and other passages.

17:19

Will Islam be Pushed Out of Europe?

On June 8, 2018, Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced the closing of seven Islamic mosques in an effort to reduce “political Islam.” In the past several years, at least 6 European nations have banned the wearing of a commonly used garment by Islamic females. Heinz-Christian Strache (later Vice Chancellor of Austria) has declared that Islam has no place in Europe. Did Germany’s Angela Merkel call multiculturalism a failure? Will there be deals between the Muslims and the Europeans? Will a European Beast leader rise up after a reorganization that will eliminate nationalism? Will Europe push out Islam? What does Catholic prophecy teach? What does the Bible teach in Daniel and Revelation? Is Islam prophesied to be pushed out of Europe? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Here is a link: Will Islam be Pushed Out of Europe?

As the Bible shows (cf. Daniel 11:40-43), there will be conflict between the Europeans and the Arabs (watch also the short videos Will Islam be Pushed Out of Europe? and War is Coming Between Europeans and Arabs).
