— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) July 27, 2026The Al Jazeera English Facebook post in question is this one:There is also an earlier "BREAKING" post about the parade being called off that drew similar reactions:Laughing emojis made up a conspicuous portion of the reaction totals. These were not isolated trolls. They formed a consistent chorus of approval for the deliberate targeting of people at a Pride event.The responses also include:"Alhamdu lillah""Jihad""Thank God""Good news indeed""god is great""that's good news""why only one?""14 idiots injured""I hope the driver is ok""please make a gofundme for that driver's future""The driver deserves a medal ?""Not all heroes wear capes""9ice work" / "nice work""Salute"These comments sat in plain view under an official Al Jazeera English post, making the ideological incompatibility impossible for anyone still paying attention to ignore.This is the predictable product of importing large numbers of people whose core religious and cultural worldview treats homosexuality as an abomination worthy of death.The same ideology that drove 21-year-old Abdul Ballout - German-born of Lebanese origin - to plow a white van into a crowd near Berlin's Christopher Street Day celebrations on Saturday night, then continue the assault with a blade.Ballout's history is insane. He had already tried to join Islamic State in 2025, traveling to Lebanon to make contact with the group. He was arrested there, served a short sentence, and was flown back to Germany.In May 2026 a Berlin juvenile court convicted him of preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state and of publishing Islamic State propaganda. He received a suspended sentence, was ordered into deradicalization counseling he barely attended, and walked free. By the weekend he was driving a rental van into Pride revelers in Tiergarten park.Holy shit. It gets even crazier.
