“The experts find it difficult to distinguish between religious delusion and mental illness.”
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Who is the man who stabbed the Neukölln schoolgirls?,” translated from “Wer ist der Mann, der die Neuköllner Schulmädchen erstechen wollte?,” by Gunnar Schupelius, B.Z., August 24, 2023:
On May 3, 38-year-old Berliner Berhan S. entered the schoolyard of the Neukölln Evangelical School. He stabbed a seven-year-old and an eight-year-old girl with a kitchen knife. The children were playing table tennis. He stabbed one girl in the neck and the other in the chest. The older one narrowly escaped death, both were saved.
This Wednesday, the public prosecutor said that Berhan S. will not be charged. A “preliminary psychiatric report” revealed that he “was in a psychotic state at the time of the crime due to a mental illness.” He was “not guilty” and was housed in a psychiatric ward.
Berhan S. reported to investigators that he “heard voices ordering him to kill the girls.” Is that all we know about this man? The judiciary, the church, politicians and the media (with the exception of the B.Z.) do not even mention his name to this day.
There would be a lot to report from the history of Berhan S. In August 2009, he stabbed his partner Sonja S. (then 24) in Kreuzberg. Sonja’s mother, Gürsel S., said that Berhan came from a strictly Islamic Turkish family and had been tormenting her daughter for a long time.
Berhan’s family threatened to murder her (Gürsel) and Sonja if they went to the police. On September 1, 2009, the “Tagesspiegel” reported from Berhan’s police file: “Eleven reports of threats, multiple coercion, bodily harm and insults.”
The perpetrator had a problem with violence and the list of his crimes is long. Even if he now claims to have heard voices and is therefore said to be innocent, this history is important.
Many questions remain unanswered: Was Berhan S. observed by the police? What role does his religious indoctrination play? Why did he hear his voices outside a Christian school? And this question has to be asked again and again: Where is the line between mental illness and religious madness?
When the Afghan Abdul Malik A. (29) wanted to behead the resident Regina G. in Wilmersdorf on September 4, 2021, he was Islamist indoctrinated. The court certified him “paranoid schizophrenia” and denied him any criminal responsibility.
When the Syrian Abdalrahman A. (27) stabbed three fellow passengers on the ICE near Passau on November 6, 2021, he was first declared mentally ill. Doctors later found him guilty and he was convicted.
The experts find it difficult to distinguish between religious delusion and mental illness.
Berhan S. is handed over to psychiatry. There is no trial and therefore no processing in court. And so we will never know how the double attempted murder of the children could have happened.

Amazing that So MANY “Strictly Islamic Families” are “Mentally ill”. I wonder if there is some correlation.
bill says
As I keep saying all religion is mental illness. Believing in things that do not exist is classic mental illness, but Islam is the pyscopathy of mental illness. Only Islam ‘s god says it wants its followers to kill ubelievers and will reward them with paradise

I’m thinking that the “voices in his head” were reading Quran to him: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…”
Goofy says
If devout, Qur’an abiding Muslims are defined as mentally ill, why does the immigration authorities let them in and become a severe security issue and a major financial burden as well?
somehistory says
Why can’t they see what they are saying….that a mozlum who comes from a “strict religious/islamic family”…a.k.a. a mozlum family who strictly follows what is taught in their barracks and what they read from their unholy book of filth, is likely to be classified as ‘mentally ill’ and go on a killing spree if he is free to walk around?
They can’t see it because they don’t want to see it. They don’t want to prosecute these slime because then they would have to admit their own responsibility for bringing in these murderers; and hordes of other mozlums just like these murderers. Ticking time bombs, serial killers, waiting impatiently for their opportunity.
Walter Sieruk says
This is just one more example that if that Muslim man really is “mentally ill” it’s because his religion drove him crazy.
Michael Copeland says
“I hear voices and I think I am going mad!”
That is what Mohammed said to his wife Khadija.
somehistory says
this murderous mozlum in the current day, learned his islam lessons well.

What Muslim attacker isn’t mentally ill, the same thing is happening in the UK and Sweden….don’t people understand it’s not a mental problem, but a culture problem….
Donovan Nuera says
As I have commented before, it always seems that in France and Germany, after a muslim attack after a Friday mosque “pep talk”, the police can find out the perpetrator’s psychiatrist’s name and have them copy their entire psych clinic chart by 4:59 PM just in time for the police press conference. Try to get a copy of your own chart on a Friday before closing in the US…… ain’t gonna happen.

Those poor little girls, nobody to protect them…this evil monster just goes on a stabbing spree and we don’t hear a peep from the msm…only sites like this dare to speak the truth.
They don’t want too many bad stories on Muslims…people might start thinking and seeing a pattern with this evil death cult. Must stay quiet.
What if it was a ‘far right’ man who did the stabbings? Will they have finally found their much sought after, almost never found ‘right wing extremists’ that are a threat to their country? Would they label him mentally ill even if was?
No ofc not…they’d crow about it and give him the harshest punishment possible…because that’s their ‘real’ enemy, just like it is for Biden and other Lefty morons in power.
Being labelled ‘mentally ill’ or a ‘terrorist’ largely depends on which death cult you happen to belong to and if you want to protect it from too much scrutiny.
As an outsider, my guess is that Germany has a mindless love-affair with colored people…an overreaction to their former hate of non-whites because of the Nazis.
I think when Merkel said ‘we can do this’ she was being sincere in wanting to create a multi-culti utopia…without any regards of the consequences nor the character of the people they let in.
Either this knee-jerk labelling of Muslims as ‘mentally ill’ is a cover-up because (as others have noted) they don’t want to be called out for their monumental error of allowing open-door, unvetted immigration or they sincerely and foolishly continue to believe in their failed aim of integrating these religious lunatics.
They’re also perfectly willing to sacrifice their children in this desperate, insane endeavor. A sensible nation would’ve quickly realized it was a horrendous mistake to let millions of these dangerous, military-aged men from the mideast to enter and give them free everything, including time to run around and rape/kill women/kids.
They would’ve admitted their mistake, slammed the doors shut on immigration and deported everyone that was allowed in. Instead we’re still seeing the exact opposite…this slow motion self-destruction of a once strong, safe and respected nation. These are just the stories that make it to the media. There’s probably 100 times as many that might not get reported but are just as awful.
Awful world we live in…and all of this could’ve been easily prevented, by a group of smart high-schoolers. There’s no adults in charge anymore they’re retarded infants who don’t know what to do.

This is a very serious cop out by our own people , do the words patriotism and common sense mean nothing to these lefties ? No of course not they vote for their own ultimate murder by Islamists who are avowed to rule the whole world as their evil ideology tells them to .
Paul Castle says
The important thing is that they should never have been allowed into Europe but of course we have no borders , something that those responsible will be forced to regret , we just don’t know yet how soon that will be !
Paul says
Apparently, Old Mo heard a few ‘voices in his head’ too……..Apparently.
James Lincoln says
In the West, the default reason for jihad attacks by individual muslims is “officially”:
“Mental illness”.
