Germany: Frankfurt professional bike race canceled over jihad plot

May 1, 2015 11:44 pm By Robert Spencer

Eschborn, Germany. 01st May, 2015. A group of bicyclists passes a police car in Eschborn, Germany, 01 May 2015. The Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop bicycle race has been cancelled after ammunition and bomb supplies were found in the apartment of a couple inThis is just what the jihad terrorists want: to compel non-Muslims to curtail their behavior and live in fear. This cancellation will only provoke more jihad terror threats.

“Frankfurt bike race cancelled over Islamist terror plot arrests,” by Justin Huggler, Telegraph, May 1, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Police in Frankfurt ordered the cancellation of a professional cycling race hours before it was set to begin on Friday, over fears of an imminent Islamist terror attack.

A married couple living nearby were arrested overnight, after police found a pipe bomb, assault rifle and ammunition for a bazooka inside their home.

The arrested couple have been identified only as Halil D, 35, and Senay D, 34, under strict German privacy laws.

Halil D, a German citizen of Turkish origin is known to have ties to Islamist extremist groups, according to the police.

His wife is believed to be a Turkish citizen.

The couple’s home was raided after Halil D was spotted hanging around car parks and repeatedly walking the route of the annual Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop race where it runs through woodland.

Police said they had no concrete evidence of a direct threat to the race, but ordered it to be called off as a precautionary measure.

Some 200 police officers searched the route of the race on Thursday.

Over 100 rounds of assault rifle ammunition and bomb-making ingredients were also found in the couple’s home.

Police said it was unclear whether they were acting alone or part of a wider network.

“The accused had ties to the extremist scene in the Rhine-Main area,” Albrecht Schreiber, the head of the Frankfurt prosecutors’ office, told reporters.

Citing unnamed sources close to the investigation, *Welt* newspaper claimed Halil D has links to the Algerian-based group al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)….

    German Leftards protested PEGIDA, but now the chickens come home to roost!

    The jihadists that PEGIDA protested are WINNING thanks to the German Left.

    They are participating in their own genocide.

      It’s just as bad, if not worse in the U.K. with their dhimmi politicians, judges, and police force.

      Muslims and Germans have been allies since WW1. It seems that they don’t mind accommodating their allies.

      Merkel is opportunistic 100%.

      Don’t expect her to have any opinion but the most convenient anytime.

    It really is like a snowball rolling downhill. Bigger and bigger, faster and faster. If you don’t stop and smash it, it just gets out of hand, rolling and rolling.

    This is the way it must have gone in all the countries that suffered moslem conquest in the past.

      Yep, that’s exactly how Lebanon became predominately Muslim. That’s the thanks Lebanon got for taking in all those Palesteninan refugees.
      The biggest opposition to Islam in the Balkans are the Serbs and they have been bombed into submission. There is plan here which was put in place many years ago.

    Expect a lot more of these cancellations of public events. It’s going to be a long haul against the devout ‘turkey shooters’ of the new Caliphate. The public events themselves aren’t sacrosanct however the exercise of plain speech is essential and the public must not be muzzled into submission.

    Muslim Turks, eh ??????
    Soon to be joined by 80 million of their Muslim Turkish brothers and sisters, if the insane lunatics running the European Union in Brussels, have their way.
    and then another 200 million Muslims when the EU´s eastern border is Syria, Iraq and Iran.
    Europe´s suicide by Islam gathers pace day on day.

      Right, all decent Europeans emigrate to the Falkland Islands. I don’t think there are any mosques there yet, there will probably be quite a bit of oil money coming in, it will give the Argies a bit more of a run for their money if they want to try it on again and if they win this time they CAN’T possibly be any worse than a load of muzzies.

        Who knows how bad they can be. After WW2 guess where a lot of Nazis found safety. At firtst many fled to Rome and when the Vatican started to get nervous they organized safe passage for them to Argentina.
        They might be a changed country now and not favour Nazis any longer.

    “Halil D, a German citizen of Turkish origin is known to have ties to Islamist extremist groups, according to the police.”
    Then why was he allowed to live in Germany?

    I have always wondered when ardent Muslims (aka “jihadis”) would figure out what a high-profile yet indefensible target the Tour de France would be.

    This is a Cancer, and there is an old cancer death prevention slogan that applies equally well as the “rationale” basis of Dhimmihood.

    “The five most dangerous words in the English language: MAYBE IT WILL GO AWAY!”

    Because you cannot always tell the difference between spectator Muslim and warrior Muslim in the Islamic game of total conquest you are left with the only solution of complete expulsion of them all. They leave you no other choice, if you wish to retain freedom.

    The politically correct world has gone nuts; they are ALLOWING this to continue.

    What part of “Islam is not really a religion as defined by the rest of the world” do the politically correct fools not get???

    If Hitler had been smarter (thank G-d he wasn’t), he would have labeled Nazism as a religion and hidden his troops in Nazi “churches”… and we’d all be wearing swastikas today (well, those of us who were not exterminated, that is).

    The Muslims are using our fairness, tolerance, and freedoms against us in order to totally eradicate our fairness, tolerance, and freedoms, and to institute their version of “Nazism” (genocide and complete power under a caliphate). And we’re tolerating it!

    If this continues, decades or centuries from now people will look back at this era (if, indeed, the Muslims allow an accurate history to be told, or if they are defeated by some force that is smarter than today’s bunch of idiots) and shake their heads in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of our tolerance of Muslim intolerance and inhumanity.

      Depends on the definition of “lost”. Europe has certainly lost its one time opportunity to create a peaceful continent for ages to come. Well, 7-9 decades of peace is an impressive period and I consider myself lucky not needing to experience what comes after.

      Still, I have no doubts that a peoples that have repeatedly shown the capability to massacre each other won’t have much of a problem to get rid of islam for good in their turf.

    The next Hitler in Europe will be named Muhammad and he will not be coming only for the Jews.
