"Extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) finds this irresponsible. "Twitter is not just any darknet service; anyone could see it and use it," said Schindler in an interview with this editorial team. "The fact that the brutal video spread so quickly on X and can still be found is fueling the debates and conflicts." In fact, hundreds of comments, some of them extreme, quickly piled up under the posts showing the video - many with xenophobic content or from the radical Islamist corner. Others, however, spread fake news because they had simply misinterpreted the scenes."

“The fact that Stürzenberger was now on the Mannheim marketplace with his information stand is probably no coincidence, says extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), who comes from Kaiserslautern: "There is a large Turkish Muslim community in Mannheim and Ludwigshafen. An event and an information stand of Pax Europa in this place of all places should also be understood as a deliberate provocation." He could imagine that the association wanted to consciously accept unpleasant scenes and possible quarrels with passers-by in order to create appropriate images and create a mood on the Internet. "Of course, this does not justify a knife attack in any way," says Schindler in conversation with this editorial office.”
