MailOnline can reveal that al-Abdulmohsen, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy from the Saudi Arabian city of Hofuf, moved to Germany in 2006 and lives in Bernburg. He has been recognised as a refugee since 2016.

Previous media reports suggest he had worked to help ex-Muslims, particularly women, to flee Saudi Arabia after turning their backs on the religion.

    

Analysis of his social media reveals tweets in support of Germany’s anti-immigration party AfD, while he has also made comments supporting Elon Musk, far-right thug Tommy Robinson and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The account’s bio reads: ‘Saudi Military Opposition. Germany chases female Saudi asylum seekers, inside and outside Germany, to destroy their lives. Germany wants to islamize Europe.’

    

Saudi Arabia warned Germany three times about the Saudi doctor who allegedly killed five and injured more than 200 when he plowed through a busy Christmas market — and repeatedly promised he would die justice in the “Islamic war waged by Germany” months before carrying out Friday’s terror attack.

    

The first warning came in 2007, just one year after psychologist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, fled to the European country, sources told CNN.

The alleged terrorist had a history of expressing radical views of varying kinds.

    

Saudi Arabia considers him a fugitive and had requested his extradition between 2007 and 2008 — but German authorities refused over concerns for al-Abdulmohsen’s safety upon his return.

In spite of this, al-Abdulmohsen spewed anti-German and anti-Muslim rhetoric on social media for years and urged fellow asylum seekers to avoid living in Germany.

“It’s not the money, it’s the deception that’s critical,” said the 23-year-old French-Algerian shortly before he jumped off his Toulouse apartment window and was gunned down by an elite French anti-terror unit.

The somewhat cryptic cry was a likely reference to “taqiyya” – a form of religious dissimulation or legal dispensation in which believers deny their faith or even commit blasphemous acts as a deception if they are seriously threatened or at risk of persecution.

For the traditionally persecuted Shiite minority [in the 7th century after the Sunni schism], deception – or taqiyya – was considered a matter of survival. Although the term does not exist in Sunni jurisprudence, there have been rare cases of Sunnis practicing taqiyya in extraordinary circumstances.

But it was not until the term was recovered by Sunni jihadists trained in the Afghan terror camps that it began to get the attention of counterterrorism experts as trained and radicalised young men began practising taqiyya as a means of integrating and disguising themselves in Western societies.

“Taqiyya, as it’s understood today, is actually a radicalised version of concealment, in the sense that some religious extremists have found 'dalils' (or 'evidence') in the Koran that would justify their actions,” said Trévidic.
