In memoriam:

We have tried to bring the victims out of their anonymity as a matter of dignity. This was not possible for everyone, but we have sought as much information as possible (name, age, locality, motive, type of aggression and illustrative data on the story).

According to official data, 56 people were killed in hate crimes in Germany, while unofficial data indicate 27 (the identity of 29 of all the victims has been verified). In France, the number of deaths is 49, according to official sources, and 6 by unofficial ones (6 of them identified). In Spain, official data record 5 mortal victims, in contrast to 32 (all identified) that appear in unofficial data. In Italy, official data reflect 2 deaths as opposed to 25 recorded in unofficial sources (22 identified). Finally, according to official for Poland there is 1 mortal victim while unofficial figures state 10 (of which 7 have been identified). Three of these victims are persons who arrived in Europe and had recently converted from Islam to Christianity, which had a deterrent effect on other recently-arrived people.

Determining the exact motive behind this type of homicide involves psychological and legal analysis of each case. Data collection from newspapers and other open sources multiplies the motive to be considered.

In the cases where the perpetrators are known, Christians are considered in eles except for one case, an intolerant and fundamentalist secularist who considers believers to be worthy of death.

We set up a classification system based on the motives mentioned in our sources, considering that this affected the outcome, although in no case does it make any absolute or exclusive suppositions.

Fitting the psychological and philosophical reality of hate into statistical and mathematical parameters requires an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis, so these classifications will be revised in the future.

Mortal victims from terrorist attacks between 2015 and June 2020

A total of 310 people died from what have been termed terrorist attacks in the countries included in this study between 2015 and mid-2020. A figure that is spread between the 258 mortal victims in France, 36 mortal victims in Germany and 16 mortal victims in Spain.

The case of the shooting perpetrated by 18-year-old David Sonboly in a shopping mall in Munich on July 22, 2016, where 9 people were killed and 32 others injured, shows some imprecise boundaries between ideologically motivated acts and terrorism offenses, as well as the process of violent radicalization. This imprecision means that, depending on the source, the same case may qualify as a terrorist attack or a hate attack. For the purposes of this study, an attempt has been made to maintain the qualification given by the OSCE.
With a greater degree of complexity, the professional machination of terrorism yields even more cruel data of dehumanization in the actions of terrorist organizations.

CHRISTIAN KILLED IN A REFUGEE CAMP (FRA-981)*. In a full-blown refugee crisis, the camps set up in France were the scene of attacks against Christian migrants, harassed and blackmailed by Kurdish mafias, who threatened to report their faith to the Moroccans and Algerians. The 2016 OSCE report mentions, without giving names, the case of a Christian who was killed in a refugee camp, following several incidents of physical attacks on Christian refugees.

CRIME AGAINST A BELIEVER (ALE-391).. A 31-year-old Christian woman was killed by her flatmate in Freiburg (Germany) in 2016. The victim, from Paderborn, met her killer ten days before moving into a students’ flat. She volunteered at her local parish. Days before the crime, the attacker asked the victim for her opinion on same-sex marriage. When she said she was against it, he stabbed her to death. In the trial, the 25-year-old killer said that he hated all religions. The judge concluded that he had killed his flatmate “as a representative of her religion because he could not kill all believers”. He received a life sentence, with the possibility of parole after fifteen years.

KILLING OF A MAN IN A SUPERMARKET IN HAMBURG (ALE-669). Ahmad A., a 26-year-old man of Palestinian origin, punched a 50-year-old man to death in July 2017 in a supermarket in Hamburg and injured seven other people. The attacker, whose request for asylum had been rejected, carried out the attack with a kitchen knife he had picked from a shelf in the supermarket with the intention of killing “as many Germans of Christian faith” as possible. The authorities ruled out any connections with terrorist organisations.

AN AFGHAN WOMAN KILLED IN THE PRESENCE OF HER CHILDREN (ALE-676). On 29 April 2017 a 29-year-old woman of Afghan origin was killed in the presence of two of her children (aged 5 and 11) at the entrance to a supermarket in Prien, in southern Germany. The victim had converted to Christianity, belonged to a Protestant Evangelical church and was active in the life of the parish. During the trial the attacker, whose request for asylum had been rejected, said that he had killed the women after she had asked him if he wanted to convert to Christianity, and that he felt frustrated by his imminent deportation. The victim was the mother of two other children and was an “example of integration”, according to the local authorities. Around 200 people attended her funeral.

Alain-Florent Gandoulou
2018
Hamburg, Germany

A CATHOLIC PRIEST KILLED (ALE-957).. The Catholic priest Alain-Florent Gandoulou, a 54-year-old Congolese national, was found dead with signs of violence on church premises on 22 February 2018. People living nearby said that the priest had just had a loud argument with someone in French.
Gandoulou was ordained as a priest in 1991 and received a doctorate from Bonn University Faculty of Theology in 2008. In 2009, he was appointed to head the pastoral mission of the French-speaking Catholic Parish of Berlin, set up in 1945. The alleged attacker was a 29-year-old man from Cameroon. In 2019 the German courts determined that the accused was not completely responsible for the crime, as he suffered from mental illness. Given the high risk of him committing another crime, he was sent to a psychiatric institution.
