There’s been yet another vehicular attack in Germany. The attack happened earlier today in the Berlin suburb of Charlottenberg. A man driving a silver Renault drove into innocent bystanders and killed at least one person.

The German police have released some information about the suspect who was arrested near to the scene of the attack and it appears, at least at the time of writing, that he may be a German of Armenian heritage. I must admit that Armenia is not the place that I would automatically think of when I think of Jihad. It’s not a heavily Islamic country and has a very low level of terrorist activity. However there are ongoing tensions and indeed festering hatred between Armenia and its neighbour Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan nationalists have accused Armenia of fomenting terrorism against them.

This attack, at least from what I’m seeing so far, doesn’t smell as Islamic as some similar attacks. Yes of course I could be wrong and the attacker could be a convert to Islam, but this attack might be down to something else.

It’s likely more information will come out about this as time goes on. At the moment I consider the likelihood of this incident being religion of peace related at 50%.
