Of course the migration is different, because the times are pretty much different than before. Today, it's easier to reach certain groups of people who are open to radicalisation. The internet makes it possible.

While the evil evil internet may have a certain effect, I personally don't think "the internet" or the "different times" is really the deciding factor here.

But yet, you fail to provide an alternative solution like so many other people screaming at refugees and immigrants.

Actually, I wasn't even aware I was expected to provide a solution. Can't remember anybody asked me to.
But if you want to discuss possible solutions with me, that's perfectly fine with me. But please start by clarifying: Solution for what exactly?

This is the first terrorist attack that hit germany (It's still not confirmed what the motive is or who did this). The recent attacks done in france for example were from people being born there. It doesn't matter where you are from, it matters if you are open to such things or not.

I believe you are wrong about this being the first "terrorist attack that hit germany", but ultimately, I guess this is also a matter of whatever people consider "terrorism", so it's probably rather pointless to discuss about that.
But I agree that the problem isn't the fact that they are "muslim", "black" or whatever. That has nothing to do with this phenomenon.

If a country takes refugees in, then it is their responsibility to take care of them and watch them, until the issue in their home country are resolved. Even if the huge amount of refugees didn't exist. Terrorist attacks existed before that. Blame the people who are to be blamed, not the people who run away from death.

The majority of the "refugees" who came to Germany in the last 15 months were not actually "running away from death"; their lifes were not actually under direct threat. The term "Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge" has a certain truth, the majority of the people coming to Germany were not actually "running away from death", they were usually running away from a hopeless future, a bad economic situation, joblessness etc. in their home countries. So many of them were rather driven by the motivation of going to a country that must have appeared to them like the promised land: Strong economy, good social systems etc. BTW: I don't blame them for doing so. I personally had probably acted just the same if I were them.
And many of them were even more motivated by ridiculous claims; for example, surveys among refugees have revealed that 90% of those (claiming to be?) coming from Syria or Iraq had heard that in Germany they all get a free house, free money, and be allowed to get their families once they are here.
Those refugees who were indeed "running away from death", they are quite unlikely to actually become terrorists when they are here; they are probably glad enough to be in safety. But all those young male "Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge", they are exactly the ones who are most probable to get radicalized and become terrorists: They don't run for their lifes (in which case it's almost irrelevant where you're running to), they ran to certain countries specifically, believing in a much better life over there, often driven by unrealistic notions of how great life would be in germany or whatever european country they wanted to go to. Then, a few months or years later, when those unrealistic expectations have been shattered, they are completely unable to find a job etc., they can easily get very frustrated and radicalized.
