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

Germany: Two Muslims arrested with weapons and bomb materials

Apr 30, 2015 9:10 am By Robert Spencer

German policeEvery day, more jihad, more murder plots. The police’s luck will not hold forever. The sheer volume of these plots will ultimately exhaust them, particularly since they refuse to deal with the ideology that inspires and motivates the plots. And that exhaustion is just what the Islamic State and other jihadists are counting upon.

“Weapons, chemicals seized in German anti-terror raid,” by Frank Jordans, Associated Press, April 30, 2015 (thanks to Tobias):

BERLIN (AP) — German police have recovered a pipe bomb, an assault rifle and chemicals that can be used to make explosives after two suspects were detained in an overnight anti-terror raid near Frankfurt, prosecutors said Thursday.

A state interior minister said the arrests foiled a possible terrorist attack and the two suspects were linked to Islamic extremists, the dpa news agency reported.

The raid in the town of Oberursel came after security officials learned that three liters (nearly a gallon) of hydrogen peroxide had been purchased at a hardware store by someone using a false name, authorities said.

“This hydrogen peroxide triggered an alert,” Frankfurt’s deputy chief prosecutor Stefan Rojczyk told The Associated Press. “Police figured out who had bought it and it was decided to act fast.”

In addition to the hydrogen peroxide, pipe bomb and assault rifle, 100 rounds of ammunition were also recovered.

Hesse state interior minister Peter Beuth identified the two suspects as a married couple, saying in state parliament that authorities foiled a possible terrorist attack with the raid, dpa reported. He added the two were believed to have links to the extreme Islamic Salafist movement.

Heavily-armed police wearing masks were involved in the overnight raid, and forensic officers in white suits entered the property and later carted out evidence during daylight hours on Thursday.

Hydrogen peroxide has been used by extremists to build improvised explosive devices in the past, including by the “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, who tried to detonate a bomb in his shoe during a trans-Atlantic flight

“Three liters is completely unusual,” said Rojczyk. “You can use it to clear algae from your pond, but you can also use it to build bombs.”…

    This foiled plot really reminds of the Boston Marathon, it’s mind-boggling. The German police has been so lucky all the time, it can’t go on forever. When you hear the reporting it makes you sick. They found conservative Islamic literature in the house. WTF is that? They always refer to salafists not to muzzies, as all this hasn’t got anything to do with real Islam.

    Robert is definitely right we need to address the problem’s root cause and that’s political Islam an ideology that equals Nazism. But none of the officials wants to talk about it

      “They found conservative Islamic literature in the house. WTF is that?”

      It’s the stuff David CaMoron reads before his wife puts the bedroom light out for the night.

    The man has 15 criminal acts.
    Even Spain has his name because he meet Islamists in Spain.

    Both had Turkish roots.

    The Woman was covered 100% even her hands-but brainwashed german neighbours sayed”there was nothing conspicuous”.Yeah and next time a family wear NAzi Uniforms you will also see nothing c.?Then its german culture like a burka?Stupid people!

    Also they where only catched because a saleswoman tell the police that they buyed so much stuff-(this Idiots tell her they want to clean their pond).And gave false names.If germany want to protect people why its not a law to show your passport?It was only luck that they get them.

    In germany if you look younger than 25 and want to play a lotery you must show your passport-and its allowed to play from 18!But if you want to buy some explosive stuff you mustnt show your passport,you can say your name is Donald Duck!

    Robert makes a good point .Some good Police work in several countries has prevented a number of attacks each potentially like the Boston attack. But sooner or later one is going to get through. Actually the bombers are probably easier to detect than the lone Jihadi with the assault rifle.

    The bicycle race that was called off due to the bomb discovery was a big event with a long tradition. A couple hundred pro riders, almost five thousand amateurs in various categories, 100,000+ spectators roadside, a million plus following via radio and TV.

    It cost millions to prepare.

    Meanwhile, largely-Muslim immigration by “refugees” to Germany is expected to top 500,000 this year. The media, “experts”, politicians are doubling down and mercilessly mark anyone objecting to this happy development as a xenophobe, right-winger or Nazi.
