Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

ISIS jihad terror recruiter arrested in Germany

Jun 15, 2014 1:42 pm By Robert Spencer

ISISNo one knows how many recruiters for jihad terror there actually are in Europe. No one knows what is being taught in the mosques, and  what kind of recruiting is going on in Muslim communities. To inquire about such matters would be “Islamophobic.”

“ISIS Terrorist Recruiter Nabbed in Germany,” Arutz Sheva, June 15, 2014:

Germany’s federal police on Sunday announced the arrest of a French national suspected of fighting for radical jihadists in Syria.

A spokesman told AFP that the man was picked up in Berlin late Saturday after flying in from Istanbul and was believed to have spent time in Syria where he allegedly joined the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS.

He confirmed a report in the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, which said the man, who was not named, was injured while fighting in Syria and posted several pictures of himself with gunshot wounds on Islamic extremist websites.

The report added that German authorities believe the man was returning to Europe to recruit other fighters for Syria or plan an attack.

The spokesman declined to comment, saying that the federal police would release further details on Monday.

“We need to exchange some information with international partners first,” he said.

The arrest came three weeks after a deadly attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, which police suspect was carried out by a Franco-Algerian who spent more than a year fighting for ISIS – a breakaway faction of Al Qaeda – in Syria.

It also comes one day after an possible terrorist attack against a synagogue in Paris was thwarted. Two men approached the building in the French capital’s 20th District armed with an assault rifle and a pistol, but after threatening passersby beat a hasty retreat when they noticed French policemen stationed nearby. The identities of the would-be attackers is not yet known.

The French government unveiled an anti-terrorism plan in April to prevent the radicalization of nationals, thwart online recruitment and make it more difficult for aspiring jihadists to leave the country for Syria.

The German domestic security watchdog warned recently of the threat posed by Islamic extremists returning from fighting in the Syrian civil war.

    Turkey could, if they had any real concern (or any real friendship to the West), shut down the flow of men, money, and materiel to the jihadists across its border–but they won’t, unless real pressures were brought to bear on them. Mr. Obama wouldn’t think to ask, much less demand, such a concession from his “dearest friend,” Islamist Erdogan.

      if Turkey did that, then barry the imposter, Holder the gun runner, and Clinton the lair, would have to find a new way to supply the terrorist with weapons

    I wonder how many people who protest ROTC on U.S. university campuses would be equally vigorous at trying to expel Jihadi recruiters like Muslim Students of America? (Preaching in favor of Islam is quite enough in my opinion to make one a Jihadi recruiter. They only need a small fraction of followers to partake in terror activities to terrify everybody.)

    Do recruitment jihadi videos show the Muslims who survive and return with painful lifelong injuries living off their non-Islamic host countries welfare systems.

    Do they mention the teenage girls who end up as sex-captives for jihad and are not permitted to leave while the myth of 72 virgins is promoted.

    The ISIS Islamic terror chief, Abu Bakr Baghdadi, along with his deadly and violent jihadist stooges bring to mind the Bible curse on such characters these Islamic militants. For the Bible reads in Psalm 140:11. “May disaster hunt down men of violence.” [NIV]

    The Islamic militant and murderous members of ISIS with all their evil and madness are explained about,in part, in the Bible which teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3. [NIV]

    Hybris is the right word for Turkey, “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind”. I saw the pictures from Mosul, the Turkish konsul and his family and staff hostage from the ISIS. I think is real time for rising a new Iron Curtain around the Western world.
