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

Germany: Four Muslim migrants arrested for Islamic State plot

Feb 4, 2016 1:39 pm By Robert Spencer

16 million more Muslim migrants are headed to Europe this year. All who dissent will be branded as bigoted Islamophobes and will suffer various difficulties. All people must love our glorious multicultural future! Or else.

German police

“German police arrest Algerian suspects over ‘Berlin IS plot,'” by Hui Min Neo, AFP, February 4, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Berlin (AFP) – German police Thursday arrested three Algerians suspected of links to the Islamic State group after raids targeting several sites, including refugee shelters where some of the suspects lived.

In all, four Algerians “from the jihadist scene are under investigation over suspicions that they are planning a serious act threatening the security of the state”, Berlin police said.

The group was suspected of planning a possible strike against the German capital, a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors told AFP.

The alleged involvement of Algerians in an IS plot and the link to refugee shelters is expected to add fuel to a raging debate over the 1.1 million asylum seekers that Germany took in last year.

North African migrants have already been in the spotlight after they were blamed for a rash of sexual assaults during New Year Eve’s festivities in the western German city of Cologne.

But the latest arrests risk compounding fears that jihadists are taking advantage of the massive influx of asylum seekers to slip into Europe undetected.

The operation came as a huge police deployment was underway in Cologne to avoid a repeat of the New Year’s Eve attacks during the giant week-long carnival festivities which begin Thursday.

One of the two men captured is wanted by Algerian authorities for his alleged links to IS, police said, adding that “investigations show that he has been trained militarily in Syria.”

The suspect and his wife, who was also detained and sought by Algiers over alleged connections with IS, lived in a refugee shelter in Attendorn, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from Cologne.

The second Algerian man was arrested on suspicion of falsifying identity documents.

Police officers tracked down two other suspects but did not arrest them.

National news agency DPA said one of the Algerians had contact with Belgium’s Islamist movement and had travelled at least once in recent weeks to Molenbeek, the troubled Brussels neighbourhood which has emerged as a hotbed of extremism.

Berlin police said however that they were still investigating the link.

– ‘Threat remains high’ –

Some 450 officers took part in the operation in Berlin and the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, and seized computers and mobile telephones.

Among the locations searched were “the refugee shelters where the suspects lived,” Berlin police spokesman Stefan Redlich told news channel N24.

He also told a news conference that two of the four suspects had sought to pass themselves off as Syrians, who benefit from more liberal asylum policies than other nationalities….

    The great tragedy is that more than a few of these Islamic terror plots need to succeed in murdering hundreds or thousands before the insanity of Merkel is vanquished and an attempt is made to salvage Germany from the nightmare unfolding.

      Merkel still speaks up for them – she hates Germany and ” her ” people – I wish she would leave to an Islamic country and take her Muzzie friends with her !

      Speaking as a European the figure of “16 million migrants expected this year” is terrifying. How has this figure been arrived at please ?

      You are not alone: the entire Dharmic world (Jain, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Sikh) is against jihad.

      Demographic warfare is evil – the forces of evil desire to own all land, gold and women (as slaves) – evil entities of jihad will NEVER (not ever) win.

      Yes, I know how you feel 🙁

      we are nothing in our own country – and we have no protection at all .

      Not many places to go where no Muzzies are – except Japan – and they doN’t let foreigners in ! Smart people !

    The suspected leader of the group, a 35-year-old Algerian man who has not been named, was arrested at a refugee shelter in Attendorn, a small town some 50 miles from Cologne.

    He is believed to have received training in Syria, and is wanted in Algeria for his links to Isil.

    His wife and two small children have reportedly been taken into police custody as well.

    “The man was really unremarkable,” another asylum-seeker at the shelter told Bild. “Last night he played table tennis with a supervisor, he was always taking care of the children.

    “But sometimes he was a bit strange. Looking back, he was odd.. He asked me if Isil are here.”
    The second man was arrested in Berlin. Both are believed to have been using false indentities.
    One of those under investigation is believed to be staying at a refugee shelter in Hannover.

    An international football match in the city was called off at the last minute last November, after police received information it could be targetted in a terror attack.
    There are also concerns the huge crowds expected at carnival celebrations in Cologne and across western Germany could be targets for potential terror attacks.
    Last year a carnival parade in the city of Brunswick was cancelled hours before it was due to start after police received intelligence about a possible attack.
    News the suspects in the latest arrests were posing as asylum-seekers will increase the pressure on Angela Merkel over her “open-door” refugee policy.
    It came as a new poll showed her approval ratings have dropped to their lowest level in five years.
    Only 46 per cent of those surveyed in the poll for ARD television said they were satisfied with Mrs Merkel’s performance as chancellor.
    And just 18 per cent said they believed the government had the refugee situation under control, while 81 per cent believed it didn’t.
    But Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrat party is still ahead of its rivals on 35 per cent support, and her current coalition with the Social Democrats would still command a majority in parliament if there were an election tomorrow, according to the poll.
    Mrs Merkel’s approval rating is her lowest since 2011. But it dipped even lower that year only for her to bounce back to record levels of support a few years later.

    “Four Muslim migrants arrested for Islamic State plot”

    Good! Of course there are many more “muslim migrants” that haven’t been caught yet. So where you find four cockroaches, you can expect to find an army of these nasty things hiding in the shadows.

    Let me guess: “Syrian” “refugees”.

    Remember The German People…Never Underestimate Them…they have been known to go from one mode to a completely different mode rapidly and decisively…Look for a very Persuasive and Potent Leadership rising amongst them even now…so completely different from the present leadership…Watch Who is willing to ally with them…Other Countries Will Join Them…This may lead to a powerful organized multi-national alliance…The Roman Catholics…The Protestants…Eastern Orthodox can put aside any differences…watch what This Power Does…it could be so formable…and determined to project its strength economically and militarily…If the Middle East does form some Broad Leadership there…This Power may try to cooperate with this Middle Eastern leadership…until it is provoked…then watch the result…a whirlwind is coming.

    There are still a substantial number of ethnic Germans in the countries that are now Germany and Austria’s neighbors to the east…Poland, the Czech Republic…Slovakia…Hungary…and Slovenia….In addition…there are…significant populations in such areas as Estonia…Latvia…Romania…Moldova…Ukraine…Russia and Kazakhstan.

    Who Among these and who else may join in alliance with a strong Germanic leadership…time will tell…
    as far as numbers…hundreds of millions could be the result…and in any strong show of strength….
    they don’t get any tougher than these peoples…not to mention their exceptional grasp of technology.

    The Modern State of Germany has been leading Europe by example…a Europe which combined into a economic powerhouse…They astonishingly came back to life (after WW2) and put there talents to real use…and they inspired and helped all the above to prosper…they are well respected by all…and very capable of inspiring strength in these…they have the very qualities to rally the troops…the potential is very great…with the right leadership…they will.

    No one can predict the specific details of such Alliances…but easily see the potential if the known world leadership continues vacillating and conditions continue to worsen…a powerful motivator for a new union to dawn…not the union Europe is now…this new union can have a core group…and economically and militarily there will be others who want to share the benefits.

    I was in UK for business and I will not go back in a long time. Too many Muslims walking around with full-body curtains on, sorry but ninjas scare me.

    I give UK and Europe 10 years before Muslims will be the majority in those countries. We won’t know the difference between those countries and the ones in Middle East.

    This is the product of large scale immigration from the Middle East into Europe, I guess we will see more of this in the years to come. Europe used to be safe, we never had problems with violence, never had our police armed like soldiers ready for war on our cities, but the Leftist politicians and our moron Leftist people continue to delude themselves into believing that large scale immigration from Muslim nations will work for Europe. Its now reached to the extent that Americans are starting to believe that large scale Muslim immigration will enrich life for Americans, given US foreign policy and the fact that many Muslims around the world view America as Satan incarnate, this idea is foolish.
    It is also interesting how many aspects of liberal German culture are now fading away due to large scale immigration from the Middle East. In the past we hosted a large number of immigrants from Turkey, as many as 2 million Turks lived in Germany, for the most part these immigrants caused little trouble, they did not clash with German culture like the newer arrivals from Arab countries, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Now Germany’s Muslim population is a bit under 5 million, I can see a sharp contrast between the Turks that have lived here for decades and the immigrants from the more orthodox Muslim nations. It does not bode well for German society. We will wind up like our neighbor France in 10 years or so, France already has laws where one can go to prison for “hate speech” for saying anything remotely critical about Islam.
