Syrian al-Qaeda recruiter arrested in Germany

Islam, Islam über alles!

Remember when the Left used to tell us that Al Qaeda in Iraq was mostly local Iraqis that had been "radicalized" by our presence in Iraq?

Oh, and I guess Islamic Maghreb members are being radicalized by, um, historical colonization by the French?

This recruiter wasn't trying to exploit nationalism or ethnicity to find members. He was looking for one thing and the only thing these jihadist groups need--Islamic fervor.

Dappertutto.

Seek them here, seek them there, we Infidels now seek (and find) them everywhere.

"They seek him here, they seek him there and the MSM are still without a clue about Islam:

"Officials: 3 arrested in Norway al-Qaida bomb plot

(Associated Press Writers – a few hours ago).

OSLO – Three suspected al-Qaida members were arrested Thursday morning in what Norwegian and U.S. officials said was a terrorist plot linked to similar plans in New York and England.

The three men, whose names were not released, had been under surveillance for more than a year. Officials believe they were planning attacks with portable but powerful bombs like the ones at the heart of last year's thwarted suicide attack in the New York City subway.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has called that one of the most serious terrorist plots since 9/11. On Wednesday, prosecutors revealed the existence of a related plot in Manchester, England. Officials believe the Norway plan was organized by Salah al-Somali, al-Qaida's former chief of external operations, the man in charge of plotting attacks worldwide.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case. The Norwegian Police Security Service said only that the three were arrested on suspicion of "preparing terror activities."
Al-Somali, who was killed in a CIA drone airstrike last year, has been identified in U.S. court documents as one of the masterminds of the New York subway plot. Two men have pleaded guilty in that case, admitting they planned to detonate explosives during rush hour. A third man awaits trial.

A news conference was planned for later Thursday.

Officials said it was not clear the men had selected a target for the attacks but they were attempting to make peroxide bombs, the powerful homemade explosives that prosecutors say were attempted in both New York and England.
U.S. and Norwegian counterterrorism officials worked closely together to unravel the Norwegian plot, officials said.

Janne Kristiansen, the head of the Police Security Service, traveled to the U.S. this spring to discuss some of the closely held intelligence that been gathered in the case.
In Washington, Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd had no comment.

Officials did not say why Norway was a target, but al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri has called for attacks on Norway, among other countries.

Magnus Norell, a terrorism expert at the Swedish Defense Research Agency, said Norway's 500 troops in Afghanistan could be a factor, as could the 2006 controversy sparked by a Danish newspaper's publication of 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

Norell said the controversy has extended to neighboring Norway and Sweden after newspapers there republished the cartoons and later published similar cartoons. Images of Muhammad, even favorable ones, are considered blasphemous by many Muslims."

The jihadists will never run out of good reasons to commit terror. Reasons the gullible idiots can believe in. The true reasons have nothing to do with what we do, only who we are.
The source of the menace is Islam itself.

Just like the source of Nazi bestiality was Mein Kampf and the legitimation for communist atrocities and mass murder was Lenins works, so is the Koran, hadith and sira the source of menace in Islam.

But Islam is a religion of peace so that can´t be true.

to attract militants to the various Al-Qaeda groups.

Only militants may apply...If you're not a militant when you go in, you will be one when you come out...On graduation you will become a member of the Brotherhood of Jihad...Your title may change, you may be called an insurgent, or a rebel, or a
freedom fighter, your condition will be described as 'restive', you will be accused of being unemployed, undereducated, not very smart, and always in a bad mood but you will hardly ever be called a jihadi...This is good advise for the 'militants' already in the US...Stay unemployed if possible, unemployment and welfare is good, crime is also acceptable...If you are educated outside of the Quran, hide it, play dumb and stupid, keep Islam out of it...do your best to hide your bad mood, always smile and be polite...'Never let them see you sweat', and don't let on that you are 'restive'...Stand by and wait for orders from headquarters...If you are captured by kufr, always claim torture and sue if possible...And don't forget wudu, and prayers...Allah wishes you good luck...
