1. Where did you see or hear this?

Drudge?
But, thanks for your concern.

2. Nope, numerous sources. It is all over the internet, just do a search

It is from a German magazine reporter --

An article which appeared today in the German magazine, PI-News, reports that during a six-month break from his job with Germanwings, co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, the man now accused of hijacking and crashing the 320 Airbus into the French Alps, killing all 150 aboard, converted to Islam.

4. Magazine?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politically_Incorrect_%28blog%29

The blog has been widely criticized by German media for inciting Islamophobia and equating Islam with Islamic extremism.[1][8] Various German newspapers have in turn been accused of waging a "media campaign" against the website despite polls showing the concern of German people over the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.[10][15] The blog's internet shop sells items with the slogan "Islamophobic and proud of it".[1] Herre says his Islamophobia is without shame: "Phobia is fear, and I'm afraid of Islam.

6. I don't know if it is true or not, there definitely needs to be more confirmation

I obviously don't know anything about German media, so that is why I said I don't know if it is true yet.

7. Who is the 'news reporter' that you refer to?

12. The website Speisa offers an English translation of an article written in German

The website Speisa offers an English translation of an article written in German by a writer for German PI-News, Michael Mannheimer, who claims the crashing of the airliner was an act of terror: All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder.

As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he – as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York – received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.



I'm going to self-delete this and wait for more confirmation, it its just some right wing german site making things up, then fine, I didn't know that.

But anyone interested can do a google search and they will get multiple hits on this.

8. As suspected by the title, this is nothing more than hateful garbage thinly disquised as journalism

Very telling how the OP won't link to it, and expects everyone to search for it instead.

3. It's considered good form to link to sources. [n/t]

5. Given the media attention this incident is getting,

if there was a terrorist connection, the group responsible would have been crowing about it already. I think this guy was a garden variety psychiatric patient who should have been in a hospital, not a cockpit.

9. Germany has their wacko sites just like the US and everyone else

We don't hold exclusive rights to wacko sites like Alex Jones and Counterpunch crap

10. So what if he was??

Are you alleging that because he became a Muslim he must have committed this act as terrorism? The authorities have already determined he had mental issues maybe he joined Islam to try & gain peace, did you ever think of that?

[LiberalAndProud]

11. We need that reporter

to draw the Muslim connection to NYC's failing infrastructure so it'll get fixed. Only half kidding.

I wonder if I'll live to see the end of this irrational, hateful trend of blaming Muslim allegiance for every tragedy every time. Weary of it.
