In a shocking twist, the BBC is under fire for featuring Taleb al-Abdulmohsen—the suspect behind the horrific Christmas market attack in Germany—in a 2019 immigration promotion. Once hailed as a poster child for integration, al-Abdulmohsen’s true identity as a radical Shia Muslim with extremist views has now come to light.

While German media initially portrayed him as an ex-Muslim atheist sympathetic to right-wing causes, these claims have been debunked. Instead, evidence from Arabic-speaking platforms reveals he spread misinformation, potentially as part of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits deception to advance ideological goals.
Alarmingly, his violent plans were reportedly flagged to German authorities by a Saudi woman who was ignored, leading to a tragedy that could have been prevented.
Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception… pic.twitter.com/tU2tRS51Lr

On social media, al-Abdulmohsen feigned progressive views, presenting himself as an oppressed atheist to gain sympathy and evade scrutiny. This tactic likely allowed him to redirect blame for his heinous actions onto right-wing groups, further sowing division.
Critics are now questioning how Western media and governments could have overlooked such glaring red flags. “It’s a failure of due diligence,” one commentator noted. “European authorities seem too eager to embrace narratives without verifying the facts.”
This chilling case underscores the risks of unchecked immigration and blind trust in curated narratives. For victims of the attack and their families, it’s a devastating reminder of the price of political naivety.
