German pol prevented cops from publishing pics of Berlin jihadi during manhunt for fear of inciting “racial hatred”, by David Burke.

A German politician is facing calls to resign over allegations that he prevented police from sharing pictures of the Berlin truck terrorist when he was at large.

Reports in Germany claim that Till Steffen [a Green politican who is head of the judicial authority in Hamburg] prevented law enforcers in Hamburg from releasing pictures of Anis Amri, despite him being the most wanted man in the world after Monday’s terror attack. …

Insiders claim he was worried the pictures of terror suspects incite racial hatred. …

Website shz.de reports that authorities are concerned that abusive comments can be posted on Facebook appeals, because comments cannot be disabled.

It quotes Hamburg CDU politician Richard Seelmaecker, who said: ‘Anis Amri has allegedly murdered twelve people, but instead of using all means to search for him, Hamburg’s green lawmaker is more concerned about comments on Facebook.‘

Robert Spencer comments:

We are familiar with the phenomenon of Western politicians defending Islam and insisting that it has nothing to do with terrorism in the wake of every jihad massacre. But Till Steffen has gone them one better: he interfered with an active investigation and hindered police efforts to catch Anis Amri, for fear that publishing pictures of the jihad murderer would lead people to dislike Muslims.

PC politician protects the Islamic murderer for fear we will dislike Islam. Pretty obvious whose side he’s on. The PC crew and Islamic fundamentalists, who on the basis of their stated ideologies should be mortal enemies, are supportive of one another in their struggle against the western mainstream.
