Translations of this item:

Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door migration policies have set in motion a self-reinforcing cycle of violence in which more and more people are carrying knives in public — including for self-defense.
A 40-year-old man stabbed to death his 31-year-old wife and mother of their three children. Police said the man was angry that his wife was using social media.
A "dark-skinned" man (dunklem Teint) drew a knife on a 54-year-old female train conductor when she asked him for his ticket.

A recent surge in stabbings and knife-related violence across Germany is drawing renewed attention to the deteriorating security situation there since Chancellor Angela Merkel's 2015 decision to allow in more than a million migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

In recent months, people armed with knives, axes and machetes have brought devastation to all of Germany's 16 federal states. Knives have been used not only not only to carry out jihadist attacks, but also to commit homicides, robberies, home invasions, sexual assaults, honor killings and many other types of violent crime.

Knife-related crimes have occurred in amusement parks, bicycle trails, hotels, parks, public squares, public transportation, restaurants, schools, supermarkets and train stations. Many Germans have the sense that danger lurks everywhere; public safety, nowhere.

Police admit they are outnumbered and overwhelmed and increasingly unable to maintain public order — both day and night.

Statistics that are reliable on knife violence in Germany — where police been accused of failing to report many crimes, apparently in an effort "not to unsettle" the public — do not exist.

A search of German police blotters, however, indicates that 2017 is on track to become a record year for stabbings and knife crimes: Police reported more than 3,500 knife-related crimes between January and October 2017, compared to around 4,000 reported crimes during all of 2016 — and only 300 in 2007. Overall, during the past ten years, knife-related crimes in Germany have increased by more than 1,200%.

The media in Germany do not report most knife-related violence. Crimes that are reported are often dismissed as "isolated incidents," unrelated to mass immigration. Moreover, many crime reports, including those in police blotters, omit any reference at all to the nationalities of the perpetrators and victims — ostensibly to avoid inflaming anti-immigration sentiments.

Merkel's open-door migration policies have, however, set in motion a self-reinforcing cycle of violence in which more and more people are carrying knives in public — including for self-defense.

The epicenter of knife-related violence in Germany is Berlin, where some areas are now so dangerous that they have effectively become no-go zones. In Neukölln and other neighborhoods with large immigrant communities, stabbings have become daily features of life. Migrants were responsible for at least 45% of the crimes committed in the German capital in 2016, according to the Berliner Morgenpost.

The northern cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven are also hotbeds of knife violence. In 2016, at least 469 people — more than one a day — were stabbed in Bremen, according to official documents obtained by the newspaper Bild. More than a dozen people in Bremen died of their stab wounds. Another 165 knife attacks were registered in nearby Bremerhaven, a 75% increase since 2014. Migrants, according to Bild, were found responsible for most of the violence.

Another flashpoint of knife violence is North Rhine-Westphalia; stabbings are rampant in Bielefeld, Bochum, Bonn, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Essen, among other cities. Düsseldorf's city center has been particularly plagued by stabbings.

Many knife attacks appear to be random, indiscriminate assaults on innocent bystanders — especially at transport hubs and on public transportation:

Munich, October 21. A 33-year-old man randomly stabbed eight people, including a 12-year-old boy, at the Rosenheimer Platz. Police said they "assume" that the stabber, a serial offender with a long rap sheet, was suffering from a "mental disorder."
Mönchengladbach, October 16. An 18-year-old Algerian, in Germany illegally, randomly drew a knife on a 65-year-old man in a wheelchair at the central train station.
Hamburg, October 15. A 23-year-old man was stabbed in a restaurant after he made "accidental eye contact" with his attacker.
Berlin, October 11. Two passersby were stabbed at the Neukölln subway station. Police said the attack was random and unprovoked.
Cologne, October 2. A 24-year-old woman was robbed at knifepoint by a "dark-skinned" man (dunklen Teint) while on a train to Düsseldorf's airport.

Leipzig, July 27. A 46-year-old father at an amusement park with his family was stabbed and seriously injured when he was attacked by a group of Afghan youths.

Dormagen, November 15. A 39-year-old man randomly drew a knife on a teenager at the Helmut-Schmidt-Platz. The attacker was transferred to a psychiatric ward.

Hermannsburg, August 29. A man drew a knife on a 22-year-old woman because she was supposedly holding up traffic in a parking garage.

Dortmund, September 3. A 34-year-old Bulgarian stabbed a 54-year-old Turk outside a restaurant.

Knives have also been used in "honor" violence and internecine disputes:

Bad Homburg, October 30. A 40-year-old man stabbed to death his 31-year-old wife and mother of their three children. Police said the man was angry that his wife was using social media.
Oldenburg, October 14. The trial began of a 37-year-old Iraqi accused of stabbing to death his wife, the mother of his five children, who were in the house at the time of the attack.

The woman had, in fact, been attending German language courses.

Herzberg, June 29. Mohammad Hussain Rashwani, a 38-year-old migrant from Syria tried to behead 64-year-old Ilona Fugmann at her beauty salon. Fugmann had offered Rashwani a job as a hair stylist and German media praised him as an exemplar of successful integration. Mohammad reportedly had found it difficult to subordinate himself to his female boss.
Cologne, June 14. A 33-year-old Syrian stabbed and seriously injured his ex-wife at a supermarket in Cologne. He also stabbed his 13-year-old son after the boy intervened to protect his mother.
Cottbus, June 9. A 32-year-old Chechen man was sentenced to 13 years in prison for slitting his wife's throat and throwing her out of the second-floor window of their apartment. The man was charged with manslaughter rather than murder because, according to the court, the "honor killing" was done in the heat of passion: the man thought that his wife had been unfaithful.

Knife attacks also occurred against social workers and public servants:

Pfaffenhofen, November 11. A 28-year-old Kazakh-German held a 31-year-old clerk at a youth welfare office hostage at knifepoint for more than five hours. He said he disagreed with the results of a custody battle, in which his one-year-old daughter would be sent to a foster home.
Göppingen, October 26. A "dark-skinned" man (dunklem Teint) drew a knife on a 54-year-old female train conductor when she asked him for his ticket.
Ahaus, October 12. A 28-year-old Nigerian was sentenced to 13 years in prison for stabbing to death a 22-year-old assistant at a refugee shelter.
Saarbrücken, June 7. A 27-year-old Syrian stabbed to death a 30-year-old psychologist working for the German Red Cross. The attacker and the psychologist reportedly got into an argument during a therapy session at a counselling center for traumatized refugees.

Attackers are often repeat offenders known to police:

Gießen, November 15. A 29-year-old Kosovar and a 19-year-old Albanian drew a knife on an undercover detective who caught them shoplifting. Police said the Kosovar was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant.
Bielefeld, October 31. A 39-year-old man drew a knife on police during a routine identification check. Police said he had a long rap sheet that included burglary and dealing drugs.
Düsseldorf, October 17. A 27-year-old migrant, Khudeda Jamal Jindi, from Iraq, slashed a man in the face at Burgplatz. Police said he had a long rap sheet that included other knife crimes; it remains unclear why he was never deported.
Arnschwang, June 4. Mostafa J., a 41-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan, stabbed to death a five-year-old Russian at a refugee shelter. It later emerged that the man had a criminal history in Germany and should have been deported in 2011 but was not.

Recent knife-jihad attacks include:

Hamburg, July 28. A 26-year-old Palestinian, Ahmed A., stabbed to death one person and injured several others at a supermarket in the Barmbek district. Although he repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" and said he was a jihadist who wanted to die as a martyr, the newspaper Die Welt wrote: "It is still unclear whether the Barmbek murder is the work of a convinced Islamist or the desperate act of a mentally troubled person. His approach seems downright schizophrenic — or is it indeed calculated?"

Meanwhile, other knife-related crimes reported during October include:

There is a widespread misconception that differences in murder rates in the U.S. versus Europe are due to different weapons laws. If there is any truth to this, it is highly exaggerated. Most of the difference is due to the U.S. having a much larger number of dangerous people (due primarily to the consequences of centuries of slavery and apartheid, and secondarily, to its closeness to Latin America).

As Germany begins to import dangerous people in large numbers, their violence rate will increase and their citizens, like Americans, will come to desire the availability of lethal weapons for use in self-defense.

Reply→What is ignored, is that something over 80% of shootings occur in "inner cities". Drug gangs are generally in control of these areas (along with the Democratic party). In Chicago, for example, 72% of shooting 'victims' had a previous felony conviction. The 'shooters' in these cases are your generic 'gang-bangers' - who also, for the most part, also have previous felony convictions. Being convicted criminals, they are prohibited from even touching a gun, much less possessing one. This fact doesn't slow them down a bit in using their weapons though. The drug gangs import weapons along with their drugs, as there is a ready market down in the alleys of the inner city. A perp in an inner city shooting, will typically have 20 to 40 previous felony convictions, along with 5 or 6 periods of incarceration for assorted felonies: attempted murder, armed robbery, felonious assault, auto theft, etc.. In order to verify my statistics, merely consult the FBI crime statistics – which are generally available for one or two years previously. Cheers.

Merkel was recently re-elected, which means that there are not enough Germans who do not want her to lead their nation. She is only a body who sits at the EU table and does its bidding. As productive as Germans have been in the 20th century and now the 21st century, they cannot elect a leader+ government who will be their nation's guardians. Yet, next-door neighbor Austria will elect Kurz, the type of man who will refuse to keep his national door open to Islam. The Czechs and Poles do protect their nations too. Not only are most German politicians compromising Germany, but so are its people who stand by while the Muslim crime wave has its way without forceful "push-back" by German law enforcement which is misled from the top. The people won't move to negate the Muslim threat, they don't even know what to seek in a leader, or Hitler wouldn't have had an easy time in using Germany to his ends. They are paying for their own lack of will and national pride, which has been undermined by its lousy leaders.

Mental ilĺness does appear to be the cause of ALL these knifing incidents. This mental disease of "open border liberalism" was unfortunately misdiagnosed in Merkel as "harmless neighborly diversity". A childless woman should never be allowed to make decisions about the future of a nation or even a community. She has no generational perspective. There will never be peace where Islam is involved. Islam offers ZERO valuable contribution to free civil society because freedom and civility both are absent in Islam. Merkel is so mentally deranged she refuses to recognize it that true fact.

"Many knife attacks appear to be random, indiscriminate assaults on innocent bystanders" - these bystanders are not innocent, as they are infidels required to deal with as Koran directs.
Germans are definitely succeeding by sacrificing themselves to Muslim invasion in order to address their sense of guilt for murdering 6 millions Jews. Seems to be a rather weird style of repent (I wonder what it meant). In any case, Jews will suffer again by the hands of Islam. One way or another the goal of destroying Europe and damage the Jewish population doesn't change.

I don't think the Germans have a sense of guilt, but rather they have erased "the six million" from their minds in contrived disbelief. At Nuremberg they were "only taking orders", and "what could they have done as followers of the Fuhrer? After all, they were "only serving the country." The Islam issue is a forever issue, at least it has been so for approx. 1400 years, and the most best-selling book in Islam is,"Mein Kampf." Hitler's "kampf" is kept alive in Islam which enjoined it with their koranic directive against Jews. As for the present, Germans literally stand aside and won't push back against the rampage of Muslims anywhere Germans congregate. A few years ago, a teen aged Russian girl, part of a Russian migrant colony there, was kidnapped on her way to school, beaten, gang-raped, kept a prisoner for a few days, then dumped on a road a few days later. She was returned to her parents by police and related to the parents all that happened. The facts were passed around to all the Russians, who discovered where she had been taken. The Russian men armed themselves with guns, baseball bats and other weapons, and went in convoy to the Arab settlement where they beat h--- out of the Arabs, hospitalizing most of them. None of them escaped the Russian fury. They, Russians, as a group protect each other, not relying upon police. The Muslims steer clear of Russian immigrants to Germany, as a result. Muslims react viciously to appeasement or gentility, but understand fear and pain they receive for their trespasses.

The Leftist ideology is clearly ruling the German gov't and the police are just pizza delivery boys caught between keeping their job and facing the reality the gov't has brought them. It is the government's JOIB to defend the people and their efficiency is clearly impotent. But their censorship of speech against the gov't and against Islam is a clear treason against the people.

This is what happens when German people refuse to procreate. The same goes for all the countries of Western Europe plus the fact that an agreement had been implemented by Western European countries giving Muslim immigrants full rights to refuse their integration!!!

This violence that is running rampant in Germany, administered by mostly Muslim migrants invited by Angela Merkel en masse, is now typical and should come as no surprise to Germans who voted for her, and outside observers who anticipated such.

I really hate to say this but it needs being said, the German people, the ones who voted in this Hillary Clinton clone, Angela Merkel, deserve the leadership they asked for. People all over the western world are busy scratching their heads as to why the folks in Germany would invite this Islamic horror upon themselves. German guilt of self flagellation over WW2 notwithstanding, it is beyond comprehension why the German people would subject their once very peaceful tourist society into one that mimics the Middle Eastern warzone.

What will happen now, if there is no mechanism for removal of Merkel from power, is the German political scene moves to the right as we have already seen. That is good for Germany, very good!! Not so good for the globalists, Leftists, Socialists, multiculturalists, namely those who birthed this debacle on the German people.

This will be handled by conservatives as they always are because they are the grown-ups in the room. Trump is cleaning up the Liberal mess inflicted by 8 years of Obama, and someone on the right is going to fix this problem in Germany, unless the German people want to re-visit times of post-war misery of national suicide by electing genius Merkel for another term. I leave it up to the Germans to get the point, get it, the POINT !
France and the rest of Europe is the same story. France missed their chance with LePen but maybe she will have another chance.
Austria has made the move to the right, and good for them.

One more point. Trump will end the war in Syria, I hope, giving Europeans and Germany, France, to deport, deport, deport the so called refugees back to where they came from so they can re-build their lives. That will give the leaders, no matter how morally challenged they are, an out to do the obvious, which is deport those violent, despicable murderers back where they belong. I hate to sound so harsh but I am feeling indignantly upset after reading those stabbing statistics German police did not want us to see. I imagine if it was my family that was being violated like that with a do nothing government taking up for the murderers, I would be prosecuted for defending my family. Blast it all !!

Great arguments for Concealed Carry permits. No doubt Merkel and the elite toadys surrounding her all have heavily armed security, but keep a harness on the police. No vacation trips to Germany for most Americans for sure...why risk it.

Absolutely true: "The media in Germany do not report most knife-related violence."

I live in Germany, I read the newspapers here, and I watch the news on television. Reports about "knife-related violence"? It seems that the only place to get complete accounts of that kind of news is not the German media, but the Gatestone Institute.

Does Angela Merkel ever show her face in public anymore? Do reporters demand answers to all this crime committed by Muslims? I have read that Merkel is going to let in more migrants next year. Why not just open the borders, let millions in, and just get it over with quickly. Then the German people can fight back or leave their country.

This is Angela Merkel's idea of coping with all the immigrants. What stupidity and negligence is she guilty of? But then, the German people voted for this, so it's their fault too. The complete takeover of Europe is underway and all we are able to do is keep silent and hope for the best, hope that we will not suffer as a consequence of the stupidity of politicians on a quest to become a great humanitarian. Misguided fools, thinking that Muslims will assimilate without any problems. None of the European politicians fully understand Islam and the prophet Mohammed's orders as written in the Koran. This is something that no politician or government will change, it governs Muslims from cradle to grave and there is no other path!!

What is the catalyst for so many crimes?
Is the mere act of Muslim immigration or fleeing Islamic nations and resettling in Westernized cultures that do not submit to Islam the cause of the violence?
Liberal mind sets look at causes not at crime they base their results on unprovable false positives and have attempted to reduce "crimes" with explanations derived from Marxist socialism. This is not readily apparent especially in Germany, where only 25 years ago the nation was divided by a hostile Soviet entity. After the wall came down East Germans were perceived as a foreign entity to an extent and demands on the eco structure created some difficulties but they weren't a bunch of back stabbers. The two instances between East and West German reconciliation can not be compared to Islamic invasion by people who pride their move as those of Hijrah, Jihad immigration in emulation of Mohammed. And yet this false comparison seems to play into the equation. How else can we explain a German leadership that has treated the immigrants as exempt from western morays and threaten Germany with submission to Islam?
How does a democratic nation justify putting in jail, sentenced to 6 months, a journalist for publishing a photo of a high Nazi official shaking hands with the Mufti of Jerusalem with a story that is historically accurate in recounting the Nazi Parties esteem of Islam and its acts in concert Islam throughout the war?
Anyone want to visit Germany on a vacation ?
Germany may not be wholly consumed by Islam yet but it is certainly starting down the path of Balkanization a term that is not fully appreciated in the USA and too often reduced to an Islamic talking point of how Christians persecute Muslims, understating the cause of Bosnia and Kosovo and exempting themselves of any wrong doing.
Balkanization began before the demise of the Ottoman Empire and has continued into the present. And we should never forget the roll the Nazis and Mufti played and their Muslim SS Divisions in exasperating the circumstances that lead to genocide and a cycle of retaliation and revenge.
It is hard to understand why the German government so often assists the Balkanization of Germany even knowing the long history of cooperation and alliance with the Ottoman Empire and witnessing the atrocities and annihilation of Christians Erdogan a keeper of the doorway to Europe he threatens to hold open unless aid tribute denies the Armenian annihilation ever took place just as today's neo-Nazis deny the Holocaust, the Armenian annihilation was reported in detail by German officers to Berlin that its ethic was debated in Germany is on the record and it was deemed justified by the necessity of national survival and denials theme Hitler personalized and made ideological.
