  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of planning an Islamist-motivated vehicle attack at a Christmas market in southern Germany. The suspects had intended to drive a car into a crowd, aiming to kill or injure as many people as possible, according to authorities.

Three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian were detained Friday on suspicion of planning to drive a vehicle into a Christmas market in the Dingolfing-Landau district of Bavaria, the BBC reported. Investigators said the exact market has not been identified, but it is believed to be in the area northeast of Munich.

Prosecutors said formal arrest warrants were issued for four men, with the fifth held in preventative custody, according to DW. The arrests followed surveillance that allegedly uncovered discussions among the men about using a vehicle to carry out the attack.
