    Berlin – A 19-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker turned himself in to police Thursday after his violent attack on a man wearing a Jewish skullcap in Berlin caused outrage across Germany.

    The young Syrian showed up with his lawyer at a police precinct, police spokesman Winfrid Wenzel said.

    The 21-year-old victim, an Arab Israeli, caught Tuesday’s assault on video. It quickly went viral and reopened a debate about anti-Semitism in the country. Even Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the assault sharply.

    The video shows the attacker whipping the Israeli with a belt while shouting “Yehudi!” or Jew, in Arabic.

    The victim, Adam Armoush, said he’s not Jewish but wore the skullcap as an experiment because he didn’t believe a friend who told him it’s too dangerous to wear one in public in Germany.

    Following the attack, Merkel vowed Wednesday that the government would respond “with full force and resolve” against anti-Semitism in Germany.

    The incident comes at a time of increased fears of anti-Semitism and indications that attacks against Jews are on the rise.

    The RIAS group that tracks discrimination of Jews said Berlin last year had 947 anti-Semitic incidents, including 18 attacks and 23 threats.

    Several Jewish students have reported anti-Semitic bullying in schools in recent months and Israeli flags were burnt during a recent protest in Berlin.

    Last week, a rap band that included lighthearted references to inmates of the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp in its lyrics won the country’s most important music prize — drawing strong criticism from other artists and government officials.

    The band’s record company, BMG, said Thursday it would donate 100,000 euros ($123,880) toward projects to fight anti-Semitism in schools, but added it believes in “artistic freedom, creativity and diversity.”

    this shows that these are not “asylum seekers” but invaders who cowards to defend their own country from the Shiites, since this is Germany this is actually making me happy knowing in 100 years itll be a majority Muslim country.

    The attacker was a terrorist savage. He should be prosecuted as a terrorist, and he should meet the dire consequences deserved by these animals. It is high time that Europe’s countries discontinue this “passionate” acceptance of these “asylum seekers”, who are really criminals looking to continue their violent crimes while being considered pariahs as victims. Call me a racist if that pleases you, but I have never found a Muslim that is worthy of being trusted.
