Ex-Muslims claim Germany Christmas market attacker isn't ex-Muslim, warn of bigger plot

India Today  

An attacker ploughed a black BMW into a crowded Christmas market in the German town of Magdeburg, killing five people and injuring 200 others. "If anything, the Magdeburg attacker Taleb A was far right: a self-declared Islam-hating, ex-Muslim atheist, who despised German society not for being against Islam but facilitating its spread," says Neumann. EX-MUSLIMS QUESTION CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACKER'S CLAIM A section of ex-Muslims, including those who interacted with Taleb, alleged that the Saudi attacker used the atheist image to hide his nefarious actions. Yasmine Mohammed, a Canada-born ex-Muslim activist and author, said she knew Taleb for years from online interactions, and he didn't seem "stable" to her. Iranian-German entrepreneur Maral Salmassi posted a video explainer trashing "claims made by the German press" that Taleb was an ex-Muslim atheist, a fan of the AfD and Tesla boss Elon Musk.
