Not everyone is mourning the policeman who was stabbed to death by an Afghan in Mannheim. An Islamist TikTok agitator celebrates the act of violence and threatens to repeat it. The authority figure shrugs his shoulders.

Germany is in shock and grief after an Afghan migrant stabbed a policeman to death in Mannheim. However, not everyone mourns, and there are even those who rejoiced on their social media pages after the cruel murder. In the one-minute video, a man calling himself the "Meta Imam" on the Internet called the murderous migrant a role model and called on other Islamists to follow his example.

Udo Vetter, a lawyer specializing in criminal law, gave Focus Online an assessment of the legal situation. In his opinion, the man committed three crimes in the short video. First of all, he approved and glorified crimes, he also encouraged people to commit crimes, and finally he can be prosecuted for inciting hatred. If he is convicted, he can face up to five years in prison, the expert said.

the German newspaper Junge Freiheit, a spokesman for the Baden-Württemberg state criminal office could not confirm media reports that the Islamist man, the "Meta Imam," had already been identified. The spokeswoman also left unanswered whether the man is being investigated and for what possible crimes. Last Friday, a 25-year-old Afghan man, Sulaiman A., attacked the well-known Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger and other participants of the event with a knife, and in the process killed a policeman, reports the V4na.com news agency in its article.
