Horst Seehofer, Bavarian state premier and leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), attends a news conference and said that “Germany must face the fact that Islamist terrorism has arrived and respond with tougher security and tighter immigration policies.” However, German officials say two of the assailants in the spate of attacks within Germanyhad links to Islamist militant groups. For instance, there was no Islamist link in Tuesday’s incident at a university clinic in Berlin, in which a 72-year-old man shot a doctor before killing himself.
Despite the fact that the vast majority Muslim in the world have never legitimate these terrorist attacks, “islamist or islamic labelled terrorism” discourse has paved the way excluding Muslims from public discourse.
