The Ansbach bomber was just the latest in a spate of German incidents in the past month. In Wuerzburg, a 17-year-old, who identified himself as an Afghan when he registered as a refugee, rampaged through a train with a knife and an axe, severely wounding several people and reportedly shouting \u201cAllahu akbar.\u201d\u009d In Munich, a German-Iranian teenager went on a shooting rampage, killing nine people and himself. In Reutlingen, a pregnant Polish woman was hacked to death by a 21-year-old Syrian refugee.<\/p>\n
The Munich killer, who was obsessed with mass shootings, seems to have been more inspired by right-wing fascists than by radical Islam. Some of the attackers had a history of mental problems. But frightened citizens don\u2019t really care about the details. What they see is young Muslim men on the rampage, and authorities who seem helpless and incompeten<\/b>t. The French are demanding to know why two known terror risks were on the loose. Germans want to know why criminals and failed refugee claimants aren\u2019t being forcibly deported.<\/p>\n
