Summary
Germany is enforcing a strict knife ban at Christmas markets as part of a new security package passed in October following a deadly knife attack in Solingen that killed three and injured eight.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser pledged “strict enforcement” and “zero tolerance,” with fines of up to €10,000 for violations.
The ban applies to knives at festivals, markets, and large events, with police ensuring compliance.
The measures aim to enhance safety at Germany’s iconic markets, which have already seen one unrelated injury this season.

I’m as left wing as they come, but I don’t believe in ignoring facts or outright lying about something because the truth is not what you want to hear.
You’re misinformed and those generalisations are nothing but uneducated hatred. Muslims do not all share the same beliefs, in the same way that Christians have different types of beliefs (like catholic, protestant, Jehovah’s witnesses or the Ku Klux Klan) The people you are talking about are a relatively small subset of extremists, which exist in every religion, even in Buddhism.
Btw, I’m not defending any religion here. I’m not a religious person. It’s just stupid to label a world religion with 2 billion members as potential terrorists. Most of them are just ordinary people living their daily lives.
You are a victim of right wing propaganda if you forget that.
All of Islams problems can be explained entirely by demographics, modern history, and wealth distribution — which directly impacts quality of education.
Iran was a relatively liberal democracy before western plutocracies chose to arm radicals and overthrow the government.
Afghanistan was relatively stable until the soviets invaded and overthrew the government, and the west taught them how to do terrorism/insurgency.
But sure, let’s just ignore history and act like Christianity wasn’t a radical terrorist org prior to science and universal education.
