Muslim Who Attacked LGBT Festival Had Been Flown Back to Germany and Jailed for Terrorism; Court Released Him and Ordered Counseling Instead
27th July 2026
21-year-old Abdul Ballout was named as the suspect who drove a white van through a crowd at an LGBT festival in Berlin, then stabbed more people as he fled the scene.
Ballout is the son of Shia-Muslim migrants from Lebanon. He was born in Berlin.
In 2024, Ballout left Germany to go fight with ISIS. He ended up back in Lebanon.
Instead of classifying him as a terrorist, denaturalizing him (canceling his German passport), and reporting him to the Lebanese authorities, German officials brought Ballout back to Germany for trial.
And the slow suicide of Europe proceeds apace.
