An update on this story. "Accused terrorist faces trial in Germany," from the Associated Press:
BERLIN --A man accused of raising money for al-Qaida in Iraq and helping to supply foreign fighters for the insurgency there went on trial Wednesday in the northern city of Schleswig.
The 37-year-old man -- identified only as Redouane E.H. in court documents-- holds German and Moroccan citizenship and lived in the northern city of Kiel. He was arrested in Hamburg in July 2006.
Prosecutors said he made four money transfers worth a total of $6,800 to Egypt and Syria between August 2005 and July 2006. The funds, they said, were destined to supply equipment for "holy warriors," cover the cost of explosives training, and pay off a people smuggler.
Between May and July 2006, prosecutors said, Redouane E.H. was suspected of helping al-Qaida in Iraq by "arranging jihad fighters from Morocco and Egypt" -- supplying money and logistical support for people smuggling.
He is also accused of founding a terrorist organization in Sudan, along with four other people who were not identified.
Prosecutors said they also believe Redouane E.H. swore an oath of loyalty in August 2005 to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, "who was authorized by Osama bin Laden to receive declarations of enlistment."
When arrested, prosecutors said, Redouane E.H. was suspected of being in contact with Said Bahaji, who had close ties to three of the Sept. 11 pilots who lived in Hamburg, including ringleader Mohamed Atta.
if the penalty for supporting terrorism was immediate execution when found guilty, then there would probably a whole lot less support of terrorism in the west.
Will they do the right thing?
If any jury members are decendents or sumpathizers of the Nazi movement, conviction will be difficult to acheive.
I believe there is no jury in the German judicial system. There is, however, a woman judge in Germany who some months ago refused to grant a divorce to a woman because the Koran allows that women should be beaten. If there are other crazies like her...
They may want to B.O.L.O for rental trucks across the street there, too...lol
The German legal system has no juries.
Hmmm...good points all around...
the jihadists back then were allied with nazi germany, too.

It just may BE that difficult...there ARE holdovers & descendants.
I dunno from "Nazi holdovers" .. more like PeeCee redux like all the other Western Nations.. and because of Nazism History even worse PeeCee than anywhere else.
Here's a little fluff piece on the 'philosophgy and psychologuy student' who 'learned German JUSt so he could read the works of Martin Heidegger' in the author's native language.

Oh yeah.. he was SUCH a nice boy! Retch.....
Hmmm...ok, I can go with that.
"When arrested, prosecutors said, Redouane E.H. was suspected of being in contact with Said Bahaji, who had close ties to three of the Sept. 11 pilots who lived in Hamburg, including ringleader Mohamed Atta."
....that is correct! and Osama Bin-Laden also had close ties...there are video tapes put out by Al-Qaeda showing Mohamed Atta and Bin-Laden sitting together and laughing about planned attacks on the US..Bin-Laden is praising Atta and his fellow terrorists on their acceptance of the Jihad..
....and there are dhimmicrats and fools who believe there is no connection to 9/11....
....Ban Muslim Immigration..
