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

Germany: Two Muslims arrested, suspected of membership in jihad group

Sep 21, 2014 9:28 pm By Robert Spencer

al-shabaab“The accused are strongly suspected of having received training in fire arms and hand grenades and to have subsequently taken part in operations [organized] by the terror organization.” Did they have plans to mount further jihad attacks in Germany? Whether or not they did, some of their coreligionists will attempt to do so sooner or later, while the world continues to insist that nothing they do has anything to do with Islam.

“German Police Arrest Two Suspected of Being Members of Somali Militant Group,” by Natalia Drozdiak, Wall Street Journal, September 21, 2014 2:17 p.m. ET

FRANKFURT—German police on Saturday arrested two men suspected of being members of the Somali terror organization al-Shabaab when they arrived at Frankfurt airport, the German attorney general’s office said Sunday.

The suspects, one identified as a German national and the other as a dual German-Tunisian citizen, were arrested in Kenya in late August and then deported on Saturday to Germany where the Federal Criminal Agency arrested them upon their arrival, the German attorney general’s office said in a statement. The two allegedly traveled to Somalia in 2012 where they joined the group and received weapons training, the attorney general’s office said.

“The accused are strongly suspected of having received training in fire arms and hand grenades and to have subsequently taken part in operations [organized] by the terror organization,” the attorney general’s office said, referring to attacks that have already taken place.

The suspects were identified as 30-year old German-Tunisian Mounir T. and 22-year old German Abdiwahid W. The legal representation of the men couldn’t immediately be contacted to comment.

The Federal High Court had issued an arrest warrant, the attorney general’s office said.

Earlier in September, German police arrested three German nationals at Frankfurt airport also suspected of being al-Shabaab members.

    Seriously, this is not funny. The world has almost accepted this as normal, but Muslims were responsible for changing our world forever. Now, we have to remove belts, shoes, etc. Why? Because if we don’t, some Muslim T will get on board..we don’t invite them, but they will come…
    The west makes the mistake of thinking these people are just poorer variants of the west…and they want to return to *Canada or America or Europe* to live..nothing is more incorrect. These people’s value system is different from our own. They want to turn these countries into Islamic places, and wash away all traces of the people and cultures that lived here..they will change the names of the countries, tear down the buildings, and markers of our civilization, and replace everything with Islamic presence.
    This is no joke, this is what they are striving for, to eradicate all other cultures, and re write history …they will justify it as necessary for the greater good, and for peace in Islam, that they had to eradicate everything else.. Brutal and unforgiving.
    Our leaders need to pay attention to the lessons of the past.

      Your comment about removing belts and shoes got me thinking. Your right, if not for these terrorists, we would all be living different lives. It’s sad, but it’s not going away. There’s over 2 billion muslims, and they have numerous children, while western ppl don’t………

      I agree. There is nothing so repugnant in these times as an islamic state. Look at arabia and iran…totally oppressed people without a free voice. We had it before with nazis and communists. Never again.

    One has dual citizenship, eh?

    Put him in jail for a while to make the point; then strip him of his German citizenship, for which he has no respect whatsoever, and drop him off on the beach in Tunisia, first giving the Tunisian government all his identifying details and telling them they’d better keep an eye on him.

    What happens to him after then – he being a Tunisian citizen – is up to Tunisia.

    It amounts to nothing less than treason.

    just like they did in Israel, they are digging tunnels in Europe. digging tunnels to undermine the society. and what do we do? we say that islam is the religion of peace.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some muslims (young males but increasingly females) whether they are born here in the free world or come to seek sanctuary and have access to all the benefit of living in the free, turn their backs on living a peaceful life of co-existence. Their country of origin is messed up in some way or another so they prefer to take out their frustration on successful, developed nations rather than help or change for the better the land where they came from.

      Sep 22, 2014 at 11:58 am

      Actually, they are here as part of hijira – to make the whole world for ‘allah’. They’re not taking out their ”frustration” in the sense I think you mean it.

      Absolutely correct paddy
      While I don’t disagree with Mirren10 about their stated objective, there lies deep in the core of every Muslim’s soul is the clear and ever present knowledge that Muhammad is a fraud and whenever the gut wrenching emptiness of Islam seeps to the scum surface of their reality the seethe with bitter resentment in order to deflect their attention from Islam’s rotted core.

        That’s true, JB — By focusing their envy and jealous hatred onto a common enemy, they keep trying to protect their psyches from the daily knowledge that they’re trapped in ignorance and superstition, and in the mind-numbing absence of anything resembling cultural advancement.

        That’s how Abdel Nasser of Egypt roused the populace against Israel in 1956 and 1967. That’s how today’s moronic muslim masses still soak in the verbal and material assaults of their chief savages upon the West.

      Paddy, “Their country of origin is messed up in some way or another…” Yeah, no kidding? I wouldn’t say “in some way,” though — let us count the hundreds of ways that show that each and every arab country still lives in the 7th century.
