The alleged attacker in Magdeburg is a 50-year-old doctor, born in Saudi Arabia, in Germany since 2006 and recognized as a political refugee. Taleb A., the man's name, is said to have turned away from Islam and was therefore threatened with death. The fact that he sees Islam as a danger becomes clear when you take a look at his presumed profile on
In 2019, Taleb A. gave an interview in the “Frankfurter Rundschau” in which he commented on the escape options for Saudi women. He also talks about how difficult it is for women to denounce attacks by men. They did it for a while on X's predecessor, Twitter, but by then such releases were becoming rarer. Instead, women “ended up in prison-like facilities.” That's why there are so many women who seek asylum in Germany and seek advice from Taleb A. According to the report, he created a platform on which Saudi men and women could find out about escape options. But: “Nine out of ten people who ask me about the asylum system from Saudi Arabia are women.” It may be because “for Saudi women, asylum is the only path to justice.”
Why Taleb A. took such a drastic action as in Magdeburg is still unknown. The interview and statements close to AFD on X reinforce the authorities' statement that the alleged perpetrator is not an Islamist.
