Germany: Sheep heads thrown at lawmaker's office following attack on mosque
2021-12-18
The next round in the conquest responding to this from a few days ago.
[DW] It is believed to be an act of retribution after a small left-wing group vandalized a mosque in Leipzig on Monday. The target was the local office of the Left party.

Unknown assailants threw two sheep heads at the office of a left-wing politician in the East German city of Leipzig on Thursday night, police in the city said.

The perpetrators also set off fireworks and left a note with a message. There was no damage done to the building.

The incident follows an attack on a mosque in the city, allegedly carried out by an extreme left wing group, that sparked outrage locally.

Juliane Nagel, a politician for the Left party in the state of Saxony whose office is in the building that was attacked on Thursday night, told the local Leipziger Zeitung newspaper that: "It's now clear that we've been made responsible for the attack on Monday."

BELIEVED TO BE AN ACT OF DIRE REVENGE
Leipzig police were unable to give details as to who might be behind Thursday's incident, but said that: "Evidence was found at the scene of the crime that suggests a political motivation. For this reason, police state security is taking over for further investigations."

Nagel told the public broadcaster MDR on Friday that pyrotechnics went kaboom! outside the office and that two animal heads were thrown out of a car, as well as a handwritten note that included the word "mosque."

She said on Twitter that she believed it showed her party was being held at fault, at least by the perpetrator, for the vandals' actions: "we are being made responsible for the attack on the mosque, or for not having taken a critical position."

"That's rubbish: We've clearly stated that an attack on a place of prayer and retreat for migrants colonists is wrong!"

MOSQUE WITH OTTOMAN TURKISH TIES
Nagel's criticism of the damage done by an extreme left group at the Leipzig mosque — that left many of the building's windows smashed — was accompanied by a criticism of the mosque's benefactors.

"There's no need to fool yourselves, the imams there are Ottoman Turkish officials, they get their sermons sent over from Istanbul," she had also told the local newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung in the aftermath.

The mosque belongs to the DITIB network
... the Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliğ department of the Turkish government’s religious department, Turkey’s official religious affairs authority in Germany for the further aggrandizement of Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I “the much beloved” in recent years...
which falls under the umbrella of Diyanet, a Ottoman Turkish state-operated religious institution. The organization has been criticized in the past for spreading Ottoman Turkish right-wing nationalism and antisemitism.

The co-chair of the Leipzig migrant advisory board, Francesca Russo, slammed the actions of the small leftist group: "We're shocked that a group of people who claim to be against fascism
...a political system developed in Italy, symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. Its distinguishing philosophical feature is the Corporate State, which is the alliance of big business and labor with the government in service to the all-powerful State. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of oddballs who have no idea what they're talking about...
, oppression and street violence, commit acts of violence themselves."

There is a possible parallel to a religious act, performed during Hajj, which may have bearing here.

Remember: This incident follows an attack on a mosque in the city, allegedly carried out by an extreme left-wing group, that sparked outrage locally. The office attacked is the local office of the Left Party.

Look to Hajj for the answer, the Muslims believe they are innocent and being persecuted by the Left so it may follow that The story behind the stoning of Satan during Hajj is in play here.

Not a fact but rather a conjecture by this poster - Only the revenge seekers know the thought behind their actions.

Further I agree with some of the other statements by the above commenters --- Start getting use to these actions, it could well happen here and people like LA's Attorney George Gascon, will do nothing to stop this kind of lawlessness too.

#3  Now the left is attacking mosques? I thought it was the domain of the right to attack. Germany is going crazy.

#1  And the symbology of sheep's heads is?
I thought it was sheep's blood painted on the doors of God's children.
