The Spin

Narrative A

The Berlin Pride attack was a horrific act of violence that has no place in any society. The LGBTQ+ community deserves full solidarity in this painful moment. Condemning this tragedy means standing firmly against violence in all its forms, no exceptions.

Narrative B

The attacker was known in Islamic circles — and Europe can't keep ignoring what that means. Multiculturalism without a shared foundation of values is a recipe for exactly this kind of violence. Defending openness requires the courage to demand accountability, or these attacks will keep happening.
