(58,798 posts)The Turkish population in German numbers in the millions, and most are very to completely assimilated. At this point, there are children and grandchildren of the original wave of Turks that came in the late fifties and early sixties. Plenty of them, at this point, speak better German than Turkish and have adopted the German secular way of life. They identify themselves as Muslim the way many Americans of Jewish ancestry identify themselves as "Jewish." It is their ancestry and their heritage, but many of them don't have any personal connection to the religion, the language, or the traditions, other than saying "oy!" instead of "geez!" There is no way in the world the resident Turkish population would even have contemplated this kind of atrocious attack, so just calling the attackers "Muslims" is misleading, like lumping peaceful Ecuadorian Catholics with the Ulster IRA.
As for the coordination, believe it. Take it from one who lives in the middle of all this This was not spontaneous. It is not in their DNA, it is learned. Learn some German and come see for yourself, if you can. If you are female or traveling with one, better learn how to say "Laa, shukhran" as well.
