Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.
Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.
Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

How does your religion reconcile the fact that Muslims and Jew-hating folk have a HUGE overlap? (All Muslims are Jew-hating). How does your magical ladder of victim-hood rate the Jew? Is he at the top because he is so hated and persecuted by the Muslims? Or is he at the bottom because he has "privilege" (i.e. wealth you and your Comrades seek to "redistribute")?
Yeah you don't really have to answer this, because I know it challenges your sick fantasy, so I'll take my honorary racist/fascist pin and wear it like a badge.

Funny that. I'm surrounded by Muslims and Jews who get along great.
People are a lot more rational abut their sky fairies when they live decent lives, and don't need someone to blame.

Still hiding are we?
Good for you. So brave! Not.
As I've mentioned in the past, I pretty regularly (and have for years) have dinner with a christian, a muslim and an orthodox jew. I round things out by being an atheist.
Oh, and by the way, the religious diversity is not why we do this. We spend time because we enjoy each other's company, which we found out by working together many years ago.
And so it is with *most* people. We judge people by their own *individual* words and actions. Apparently that's too much for you. Is that because you're lazy? Is it an intellectual capacity issue? Do tell.
Sadly, it's you who have a hateful and misguided view.
Yes, there are violent extremists. and they are of every religious/ethnic stripe. What generally defines all of them is a deep insecurity and a sense of powerlessness, for which they attempt to compensate by lashing out at what's different.
It seems that you're one of those too. It's interesting that you, who rail against whole groups, as do those other extremists exhibit similar attitudes.
I realize that my observation will be lost on you. But perhaps you'll understand one day. I won't hold my breath.
