The attacker was in Germany with a work visa, not under asylum rules.
And he was born in Afghanistan, which isn't in the Middle East.

Banning tourists from India in response would make about as much sense as your proposal.

Do you have a source for that? All news sources I can find make it clear he entered Germany as an asylum seeker. Do you mean that at some point he converted his visa from an asylum seeker to work visa? That doesn't alter my question in any way.

Afghanistan is absolutely part of the "greater" Middle East. I'm happy to use the term MENA if you prefer.

I don't think Indians should be banned. They don't commit a lot of terrorist attacks. Asylum seekers from the MENA countries do though. You don't seem to understand the facts on this one very well.
