More members of the Tiny Minority of Extremists™ manifest their misunderstanding of their own religion. "3 terror suspects arrested in Germany," by David McHugh for the Associated Press (thanks to Jihad Watch News Editor Marisol Seibold):
BERLIN - Three suspected Islamic militants were arrested for allegedly plotting "imminent" and "massive" attacks on the Ramstein Air Base, a major U.S. and NATO military hub, and Frankfurt's busy international airport, German authorities said Wednesday.German federal prosecutor Monika Harms said the three had trained at terror camps in Pakistan and procured some 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives.
Well, then. Maybe they were just overzealous hairdressers.
And a top legislator said the group could have struck "in a few days," noting a "sensitive period" that includes the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.Officials said the hydrogen peroxide, stored in a hideout, could have been mixed with other additives to produce a bomb with the explosive power of 1,200 pounds of TNT.
"This would have enabled them to make bombs with more explosive power than the ones used in the London and Madrid (transit) bombings," Joerg Ziercke, the head of Germany's Federal Crime Office, said at a joint press conference with Harms.
The three suspects — two Germans and a Turk — first came to the attention of authorities because they had been observing a U.S. military facility at the end of 2006, officials said. All three had undergone training at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, and had formed a German cell of the group.
The Islamic Jihad Union was described as a Sunni Muslim group based in Central Asia that was an offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, an extremist group with origins in that country.
"There was an imminent threat," German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung told ARD broadcaster.
[...]
Magnus Norell, at the Swedish Defense Research Agency, said while Germany's mission in Afghanistan could be a motive for a terrorist attack, a flood of other factors could also play a role.
"It could be discontent with Germany, or even western Europe as a whole. It's really not that easy as to say that this (Afghanistan) would be the reason for it."
Heck, it could even be the jihadist ideology of Islamic supremacism, and may have nothing to do with Germany's particular actions at all.

Frankfurt airport bombing foiled: ISLAMIC TERRORISTS ARRESTED!
GERMAN authorities said Wednesday they had arrested three suspected Islamic terrorists for plotting imminent, “massive” bomb attacks on Frankfurt’s international airport and the Ramstein Air Base.
The three men, two Germans aged 22 and 28, and a Turk aged 29, had no steady work and were drawing unemployment benefits while their main occupation was the plot, officials said.

Germany: Three suspected jihadists arrested -- "plotting 'imminent' and 'massive' attacks" on Air Base and commercial airport
What Robert Spencer said re CAIR eventually proved true, though CAIR did their best to smear him in their propaganda campaigns. Spencer will eventually be seen as right re Jihad and the urgent need to face reality in that matter.
There are a lot of people who have a vested interest in silencing Spencer and JW-just as CAIR did. They appeal to what Hitler called the "weaklings" in media, govt, business in their propaganda campaigns. They also cleverly portray themselves as "victims" as Goebbels noted was essential when going on offense.
Hitler (from Mein Kampf) on the methods he learned in Vienna on how to silence critics: "I understood the infamous spiritual terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie, which is neither morally nor mentally equal to such attacks; at a given sign it unleashes a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most dangerous (JW, e.g.), until the nerves of the attacked persons break down (JW and others, e.g.) and, just to have peace again, they (the PC in media and govt) sacrifice the hated individua(s).
However, the fools obtain no peace.
The game begins again and is repeated over and over until fear of the mad dog results in suggestive (PC) paralysis.........Conversely, they praise every (PC) weakling (for example, folks such as the Moe Howard "distinguished professor" at UNC)on the opposing side, sometimes cautiously, sometimes loudly, depending on the real or supposed quality of his intelligence".
In regard to the "spiritual terror" tactics of Hitler (noted above), William Shirer (page 23, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich) said: "No more precise analysis of Nazi tactics, as Hitler was eventually to develop them, was ever written".

The next two days will be informative. What will be the reaction of German citizens and politicians? The attack was prevented, so will it be taken seriously as a warning? Will they blame the terrorists or that "warmonger" George W. Bush? Will they come together against Islamist terror or against the US? Will they decide the best course of action is to fight Islamism in all its forms or just get out of Afghanistan?

Just wait, it will not cause any huge waves, after all "the tactic of terrorism was stopped". It seems the coined term "war on terror" is feeding this passiveness. People seem to think we are winning when a plot is uncovered and the people arrested. Meanwhile the root cause of it all flourishes in the mosques & grows with each new group of Muslim immigrants. Stopping a plot should be considered luck & near defeat, because the people and the desire and the means were already in place.
Sad to say its probably going to take a massively deadly attack to shake up Germany into reality.

SoteriA,
But whom would the Germans hold accountable for all those deaths? Better to get an indication where they stand before people are killed.
Does the idea that the attack might have been aimed at a US base give them the idea that they themselves are not threatened and this is not a problem for them?

Our people have made great doctors, inventors, and astronauts. We have contributed to all kinds of things that help people worldwide. We have a black history month that shows what blacks have contributed to America. Maybe we need one for Muslims.
THAT is the kind of people we are. I would hate to see that changed, whether it be by terrorists or out of our fear of terrorists.
Im now convinced this guy is on CAIR's payroll. Muslim American month? Geesh.

The most amazing thing is that, as it was said by someone else, most Turkish people in germany don't give a rat's tail to Muhammad's religion, YET their numbers and the people from their comunities are being hijacked into the islamist side.
Like Robert has said, if people don't counter the verses and the hadith used by the jihadists to enlist more people into the "global jihad", more "misunderstaners" will apear.
Btw, germans, above all, should know the price of allowing fanatical, murderous ideologies take control of their nation.

Interesting how no mention of Al Qaeda. Infact it was described as a central asian cell........so the US is shown again that it isn't a war against Al Qaeda, but against the Islamic Jihad.
I don't think Z Germans or the Americans will get it....I don't think anyone will care because the attacks were foiled. Western world will only smarten up after they're hit, and hit hard. Short of a massive attack, they will continue to ignore reality.

You brought a good point I didn't consider with my post. The attack was aimed at Americans within Germany. I probably should consider that Europe is not in lock step with the USA concerning terrorism.

leon,
Can we draw lessons from Spain in 1492? By then, Muslims had been in Iberia for centuries. Surely many had been born there. They weren't immigrants. However, they were driven out.
We have a major problem however. Muslims aren't the only ones who want a global regime. People like Walter Cronkite and Hillary Clinton want us to become part of a regional or global union. Islam is incompatible with Western democracy but it may not matter if world government (secular or religious) becomes a reality.

Yes Muslims NEED TO BE PROFILED IN THE USA to see if they are radical fundamentalists. After all Islam is not a race and no religion has the right to threaten the existence of others. Islam is simply taking advantage of tolerance and freedom to infiltrate for diabolical reasons.

I think these German guys were planning the kind of attack al-qaeda was boasting about in there last video message's. Also the other arrest in Europe should be seen in that light. I am afraid we will soon see how successfully we can fight these terrorists by intelligence means. But it's a really bad sign, if the terrorist really have native Europeans available for operations...

The Moors controlled Spain making Christians suffer for centuries. I hope it's not going to take that before we can wake up.
There have been so many muslim threats, since 9/11 alone, that with a populace ready for immigration reform I'd think this could be accomplished. My congressman is on board.
I cannot understand why most of these politicians are not getting the message.

" who converted to Islam"
yes, but the 2 german lads were perverted by foreign born islamic imams and hated the USA.
"Can we draw lessons from Spain in 1492? By then, Muslims had been in Iberia for centuries. Surely many had been born there. They weren't immigrants. However, they were driven out."
yes, an earlier islamic invasion of europe until the europeans finally grew a new pair (after hundreds of years) and kicked them all out.

These are more reasons to turn loose the German Army onto the streets of large, German cities.
Rather than outlaw scientology in Germany, they need to outlaw islam and banish all muslims and their converts BACK to the islamic world.
Muslims prove every week they only live to kill.
This failed attempt has just pushed more Germans silently into the reality of mandatory deportation for all muslims.
Where muslims go, misery follows.
Why would any nation allow these 7th century, cousin marrying, animal dating, sexist, racist, people inside their borders?
PS. Turn over these terrorists to the custody of German special forces.
They can force feed them bratwurst, knackwurst, pork chops, and than bury them alive in pig entrails.
They deserve nothing less being muslims.

If we can purge pc, that age-old 1,000% antimatter opposite of common sense, we'd be able to do something about it...until we purge that enemy within (read that as 5th columnists), we will never be able to purge the enemy without.

Security experts said the two purported plots are a reminder that Muslim extremists are not driven just by anger at the United States and its policies.
Islamic radicals “treat the whole Western world as their enemy,” said Tadeusz Wrobel, an analyst of military and security issues in Warsaw.
Bob Ayres, a former U.S. intelligence officer who is an analyst at Chatham House, a London think tank, said the radical ideology embraced by Islamic militants outweighs national loyalty, noting that many of those arrested in alleged European terror plots in recent years grew up here.
“They’re not Germans, Brits or French. They are radical Muslims living in these countries,” he said.
