Reflection on the Solingen Terrorist Incident: Politicians Needs to Show Integrity Now

In the heart of Germany, the city of Solingen has been shaken by a tragic event five days ago. A Syrian asylum seeker, who had been offered shelter and support by the German community, allegedly swore allegiance to the ideology of the Islamic State and committed a heinous act, killing three people and severely injuring five others.

The attack has left many residents of Solingen feeling angry and disappointed. They question the state's handling of security issues, calling for decisive action to end the current state of affairs. The incident has also led to a heightened sense of security and concern among the community.

Politicians, including the federal president, have flocked to Solingen, causing constant media attention. Some speculate that this influx may be due to the upcoming elections and the feared good showing of the AfD in the east. However, the SPD leader, Saskia Esken, has stated that "nothing can be learned" from the Solingen attack, a statement that some find contradictory to the facts.

It is worth noting that the perpetrator did not arrive at facilities like the "Welcome Center" or the "Refugee Point" in Solingen. Instead, he reportedly became more radicalized. This has sparked debate about the effectiveness of the current immigration policies and the judicial system, with some accusing the political left of creating the problems they now seek to distract from with debates about minor issues like knife length.

The state's failure to deport the perpetrator, who was one of thousands of deportation cases who refused to leave, has further fuelled these concerns. The police director's statement suggesting individuals make personal decisions about using public transportation or attending events indicates a lack of strong leadership in enforcing security measures.

The victims of past years serve as a reminder to enforce existing laws more effectively. The debate about knife length is seen as a distraction from addressing the root causes of crime. Many residents of Solingen are still struggling to process the incident, finding it surreal. Some individuals refuse to acknowledge the violent consequences of the political left's immigration policy.

The attack in Solingen is seen as different from a previous triple murder in Würzburg. The state's inability to guarantee safety has been criticized, with calls for it to end. As the city continues to heal, the hope is that this tragic event will lead to meaningful change and a renewed commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all its residents.
