Germany to enforce strict knife ban at Christmas markets
Following a deadly knife attack earlier this year, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has promised tight security at this year's Christmas markets.
Summary
Germany is enforcing a strict knife ban at Christmas markets as part of a new security package passed in October following a deadly knife attack in Solingen that killed three and injured eight.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser pledged “strict enforcement” and “zero tolerance,” with fines of up to €10,000 for violations.
The ban applies to knives at festivals, markets, and large events, with police ensuring compliance.
The measures aim to enhance safety at Germany’s iconic markets, which have already seen one unrelated injury this season.

Knives aren't the problem. Islam is.
Mental illness is the problem, of which all religions are at the top of the list.
Currently one religion creates a lot more random acts of violence than the rest unfortunately. The current islamic religion seems to be incompatible with western society and a civilized society as a whole.
All of Islams problems can be explained entirely by demographics, modern history, and wealth distribution — which directly impacts quality of education.
Iran was a relatively liberal democracy before western plutocracies chose to arm radicals and overthrow the government.
Afghanistan was relatively stable until the soviets invaded and overthrew the government, and the west taught them how to do terrorism/insurgency.
But sure, let's just ignore history and act like Christianity wasn't a radical terrorist org prior to science and universal education.
Are you suggesting that other parts of the world which lack serious educational support for the poor are somehow also inclined to the level of radicalized violence that is part of the current Islamic religion?
And why are we bringing up history of Christianity? That's not in the current world view, it's doing some atrocious shit right now, but let's not pretend it's being used in the way that islam currently is. No religion is clean, but in the present islam is the cause of a huge majority of the violence we see.
What happened to being intolerant of the intolerant? Or does that only apply to nazis and fascist?
Judaism?
You're misinformed and those generalisations are nothing but uneducated hatred. Muslims do not all share the same beliefs, in the same way that Christians have different types of beliefs (like catholic, protestant, Jehovah's witnesses or the Ku Klux Klan) The people you are talking about are a relatively small subset of extremists, which exist in every religion, even in Buddhism.
Btw, I'm not defending any religion here. I'm not a religious person. It's just stupid to label a world religion with 2 billion members as potential terrorists. Most of them are just ordinary people living their daily lives.
You are a victim of right wing propaganda if you forget that.
They don't want to hear it because they're brainwashed to pretend all religions are equal or that Islam in particular isn't the cause of more violence than any other belief system on earth. Looks like CAIR's propaganda campaigns are paying off.
It's a whole PC crap, they don't want to be seen as politically incorrect. Which just allows this crap to breed.
I'm as left wing as they come, but I don't believe in ignoring facts or outright lying about something because the truth is not what you want to hear.
Fuck off racist
Islam isn't a race. It's a religion and following it is a choice which can be changed at any time unlike race.
Lol I love how I'm called a racist because I'm pointing out how damaging a religion is.... you're being tolerant of the intolerant. Way to bend your shit world views to fit a narrative.
My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.
So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim's molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.
All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.
If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.
Lol if you lived in an Islamic country you'd be getting raped on the regular by a 'husband' you were forcibly married to and be forced to carry his children whether you wanted to or not. Abortion wouldn't even be a choice unless your husband was the one who wanted you to get one and if you were raped by someone else you would be the one getting honor killed not the rapist.
If you think Christianity is anywhere near as bad as Islam you're absolutely delusional.
I guarantee you that any woman currently living under a Muslim theocracy who isnt completely brainwashed would absolutely prefer to live under Christian rule instead.
If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.
You have a seriously small world view if you truly believe this.
Way to be tolerant of the intolerant.
