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.
Mental illness is the problem, of which all religions are at the top of the list.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
