The attack in Solingen is just the latest example of a new wave of violence linked to the Islamic State terrorist group. Experts say the war in the Middle East is the main catalyst.

The terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the knife attack in Solingen. According to Amak, the mouthpiece of IS, the attack was carried out in “revenge for Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere” and targeted a “group of Christians.”

      Is it? Source?

      I found this on mediabiasfactcheck.

      Overall, we rate Deutsche Welle (DW) Left-Center biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

        Just my personal opinion based in how they report on different topics compared to other German news outlets. They often have a very nationalistic view on topics compared to other German news. They also often use populist headlines. Not as often as BILD but compared to reputable sources like tagesschau it is very obvious. It’s notable that they want to put a pro german spin on stories.

          Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s propaganda. Yet you label it as such, which is spreading false information. Next time, please label your opinion as your opinion, not as factual when you cannot support your opinion with factual proof.
