## Resource

A van plowed into a Berlin Pride crowd, followed by a stabbing — one dead, multiple injured — in an attack that shattered the city’s symbol of tolerance. The suspect, 21-year-old Abdul Ballout, remains at large and armed. For many, especially LGBTQ+ Germans, it’s a gut-wrenching blow to their core values. Police officer and openly gay Muslim, Ali Darwich, shared his anguish over rising fear, potential backlash against Muslims, and deepening divides — yet still clings to hope for Berlin’s unity. With anti-queer hate crimes in Germany surging tenfold, some see this as a political assault on diversity. Yet, in the aftermath, communities rallied — mourning, supporting, and defiantly declaring: we will not be erased.
