Syrian Muslim Threatens to Kill Christian Woman's Baby

Country: Germany

Date of incident: January 6, 2016


In a community shelter for refugees in Ballenstedt (Harz), a Muslim Syrian threatened an Eritrean Christian woman that he would kill her baby while she slept.

According to media reports, the trigger was a discussion with religious themes. According to interpreters, the 23-year-old man said "I'll kill your baby while you are asleep." The police took the threats seriously and brought the man and his extended family back to the central receiving point for refugees in Halberstadt. It is unclear whether he has been charged with a crime. Source: Mitteldeutsche Zeitung
