BBC reports:

A lorry has ploughed into a busy Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say. Police say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured. A suspicious person has been arrested nearby, while a passenger was found dead, police say. The market is at Breitscheidplatz, close to the Kurfuerstendamm, the main shopping street in the city's west. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, tweeted to say: "We are in mourning for the dead and hope that the many injured can get help."

There are now reports from local police that 12 people have been confirmed killed in the attack.

Reuters reports:

A man stormed into a Zurich mosque on Monday evening and opened fire on people praying, injuring three, Swiss police said.

They said they had collected evidence inside the building and would make more details available on Tuesday. They declined to comment on the potential motive.

Two of the three men -- aged 30, 35 and 56 -- were seriously injured in the attack shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time (1630 GMT) near the main train station in Switzerland's financial capital, Zurich police said.

    That is complete BS.
    Some Muslims drink (and are punished by other Muslims).
    Some Muslims smoke (and are punished by other Muslims).

    What utter crap.

    The only common denominator all Muslims share is that they are Muslims. They are not all violent, nor all strong believers. We had a Muslim Au-Pair in our house that loved eating our Pizza (in spite of the bacon and the pork salami), and virtually never covered her hair.
    If we had millions of determined religious fanatic warriors in Germany, I think we would notice.

    You don't notice the people driving trucks through crowded areas? Molesting children at public swimming pools? Assaults with weapons on public transport? Sexual assault by large groups of men in public places?

    You must be blind.

    Or muslim.
