Why would homegrown German converts to Islam, who never suffered from "racism," want to join the jihad? This case overturns many politically correct assumptions. An update on this story. "'German Jihadists' Targeted Frankfurt, Munich, Prosecutor Says," by Karin Matussek for Bloomberg, September 5 (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Three men charged with plotting terrorist attacks targeted U.S. facilities in German cities including Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Munich, Cologne and Stuttgart, German prosecutors said.``Their plan was to attack U.S. citizens and U.S. facilities in Germany by placing bombs and taking as many lives as possible,'' the German Federal Prosecutor said in a statement today....
The three men are members of the terrorist group ``Islamic Jihad Union'' and were trained in the group's camps in Pakistan where they decided to ``take the Jihad to Germany,'' according to the prosecutor. A fourth suspect was arrested in November in Turkey.
The group planned to place bombs at restaurants, pubs, discos and airports, including the U.S. Airbase in Ramstein, Germany, according to the statement. The attacks were to take place in October 2007, when German legislators were scheduled to vote on keeping German troops to Afghanistan....
The ``Islamic Jihad Union'' is a Sunni group that has contacts to the al-Qaeda network, the prosecutor said. Fritz Martin G.,29, and Daniel Martin S., 22, are German nationals. Adem Y., 29, is a Turkish citizen.
They did something similar in Spain, and it worked. When something works, you keep doing it.
This time, we all got lucky.
19 guys armed with nothing but box-cutters hit the 2 most important cities in the US, destroyed the centers of this country's financial and military might, killed more Americans in the very heart of the country than the Japanese did in Pearl Harbor, and came very close to beheading the US government. This shows how disoriented and disfunctional the US government is. Hitler and Japan did not even dream of pulling off anything like that.
Actually, Hitler did. Albert Speer, who had an intimate homoerotic (not sexual) relationship with Hitler, remembered him besieged in his suicide bunker by the Russian Red Army, having lost all hope, and engaging in a wishful fantasy, ranting about the New York City being destroyed, of its tower buildings going down in flames. Well, al-Qaida fulfilled Hitler's vision. No wonder Nazi SS veterans - who are still alive and kicking - had awarded the very dark-featured bin Laden the title of "honorary Arian" at their annual reunion in Munich after 9/11.
They are not alone. Many devout Nazis had turned to Islam, recognizing - correctly - that the Islamic Jihad is the only force in the world capable of "continuing the Fuhrer's cause". Sigrid Hunke, a prominent Nazi German propagandist and ideologue, turned to Islam after the Third Reich's demise, writing a book "The Sun of Allah Shines Over Europe", calling for the total takover of Europe by Muslims, and the destruction of the Anglo powers through Islamic jihad. Hanna Kvanmo, a Norwegian traitor during the German occupation of Norway who volunteered into the Nazi party, had drifted into Hard Left after the war, because the Norwegian leftists had totally allied themselves with the Islamo-Nazis in a new Stalin-Hitler pact. Swiss tycoons Francois Genaud and Albert "Ahmed" Huber had seamlessly switched from funding Nazi Germany to funding "Palestinian" Islamo-Nazis.
Now, Hunke's vision for Europe has been almost achieved. As told by Bat Ye'Or in her eye-opening, meticulously book "Eurabia", the cowardly governments of Europe had committed counless Munich treasons against their own countries from 1973 on, in Paris, Brussells, Strasbourg, Bonn, Geneva, Rabat, Cologne, Damascus, Cairo, Haague. As the direct result of the 35 years of self-treason, Europe has become what it is now: the abject EUrabia, totally subordinated to the Muslim world. The US government is almost as rotten, with the CIA, the State Dept., the Pentagon, the White House and even the FBI either totally dominated or heavily infiltrated by Islamists and the local Quisling traitors who serve them.
We are up against a new, more insidious, more dangerous Nazism, but our degenerate government, not to mention EUrabia, are not up to the task of defending from it, as a direct result of decades of dhimmi appeasement of the enemy.
Ruslan Tokhchukov, EnragedSince1999.
Our degenerate government is due to be replaced in about two months. Two thirds of Senators will remain in place but the rest, along with the entire House and the Executive Branch, are due for an overhaul.
If we want government of the people we need to elect those who will fight this recurrent plague of Islamism.
If we want the degeneracy to continue, we'll reelect ninety percent of the incumbents in Congress and one of the two major party candidates as president. Come January, it will be business as usual for at least two more years.
Nazism and Islam - a marriage made in Hell.
Ruslan - if you check out what Franz Rosenzweig said about Islam, you'll see exactly why Nazis were drawn to it, or why purist Muslims found soul-mates among the Nazis.
And, of course, both Nazis and Muslims hate Jews with an all-consuming hatred, which is spiritual in origin: because Nazism and Islam represent an anthropology, a politics and a theology which is directly challenged and defied at every point by what the Hebrew scriptures teach about humanity and the divine.
In attempting to erase the Jews from the world the Muslims, like the Nazis, are actually trying to erase from the world the God of the Jews. And both Muslims and Nazis have Christians next on their hit-list after the Jews.
I have read Speer's work both in English and in German. In addition, I studied the history of National Socialism at Georg August Universität.
The notion that Albert Speer had a homoerotic relationship with Adolph Hitler is absurd.
The only love they shared were their passions for grandiose architecture and ever more powerful weapons.
