“He converted to Islam in August 2011. But he later ‘slipped into radicalism.'” Whoops! Is that like slipping on a banana peel? Or more like slipping into something less comfortable? Are German authorities entirely incurious about how this “slip” occurred? Have they investigated what is being taught at the mosque Nils Donath attended? Have they questioned those who converted him? Why not?
“Isis ‘storm trooper’ jailed for four years,” The Local, March 4, 2016:
A German court on Friday convicted an Islamic State “storm trooper” who helped track down deserters for the jihadist group in Syria, sentencing him to four-and-a-half years in prison.
Nils Donath, a 25-year-old German national, had travelled to Syria in October 2013 to join the jihadist group which controls a large swathe of Syria and Iraq.
Prosecutors, who had sought a sentence of four years and nine months, said at the trial that tasks Donath took on at the IS included assisting in interrogations, prison guard duty, as well as participation in the jihadist group’s “storm troops,” a special assault team.
As a member of this unit, Donath took part in 10-15 missions, in which he helped to track down IS deserters, fully aware they would be tortured to death, according to the prosecution.
Donath has been in police custody since his arrest upon his return to Germany in January 2015.
During the trial that opened in January, he told the court of his troubled teenage years, when he was a “pothead” before he converted to Islam in August 2011.
But he later “slipped into radicalism” and joined a local jihadist group called the “Lohberger Brigade” that he travelled with to Syria….

Angemon says
I doubt he actually killed anyone – I’ve seen the Star Wars trilogy, and Storm Troopers can’t hit the broad side of a barn to save their lives.
He should be standing trial for treason. What do they think it’ll happen after he does his time?
Westman says
Exactly which group will be his fraternity brothers in prison? Only one guess – the bannana peels.
Oliver says
May it be so; may he meet the fate of Jeff Dahmer ( who was only a murderer and pedophile) and slip in the shower and hit his head on the floor-with nobody around.
And fellow Muslims in the prison suffer the same fate.
(And Muslims in US prisons, also-especially)
mortimer says
German elites are assuming that most Muslims do not share over 90% of the opinions of Nils Donath. They do.
Oliver says
Why did (or is it) taking a year to come to trial? Are the efficient Germans, who have lost hundreds of thousands of ” refugees” also have a slow as horse manure legal system?
?
Just asking
No Fear says
He was a troubled teenage pothead. Now he is a Jihadi.
If he stayed a pothead he may have been a danger to a few people (e.g. smoking and driving).
As a Jihadi he is dangerous to 4/5ths of the world population.
Kurt says
He’s been infected!

Islam: The DEAD END “faith”…….
“For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction,” (Philippians 3:18)
mortimer says
An Islamic “STORM TROOPER”? Just like the good old days!
Only, Muslims are the new NAZIS, aren’t they?
Is this an admission by the Germans that Islam is theocratic fascism? Except, since Mohammed is already dead, Islam won’t go away, as Nazism did after Hitler’s death. It sure is a WHOLE LOT like Hitlerism, isn’t it? Torture, enslavement, death squads, totalitarianism, fanaticism.
The new Nazis. Must make some Germans nostaligic…well the nostalgia from now on is for the 7th century in Arabia.
mortimer says
German elites refuse to learn about the jihad doctrine or read the Islamic texts from which it is derived, so jihadists will be emboldened to think they will not be caught or prosecuted and the jihad will go on and get worse.
Their lack of interest in discovering the source of the Islamic fascism amounts to CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE on the part of German elites.
Die Lücke des Wissens über den politischen Islam unter den deutschen Eliten beläuft sich auf grobe Fahrlässigkeit .
citycat says
A person who converts is doubly suckered, and will do anything to please the group, and i don’t know about this Allah geyser, i don’t see how he can exist really, except as a psychic vampire, via pressure relief values of the emotions, of the mass of the soul giving Muslims forced into it since birth.
What chance do they have?
They have been forced into voluntarily giving of their acquired since birth energy.
Allah is beyond evil, beyond everything,
except one thing-
Freedom of direction of one’s soul and all that is acquired from it.
You can choose if you can get away with it.
O Muslim Choose Life
I guess i dream.
You never know
If one soul is saved, and all that
it not just that though, it’s the whole thing. Dunno, it’s just all horrible.

” Donath took part in 10-15 missions, in which he helped to track down IS deserters, fully aware they would be tortured to death..”
The German government I’m sure would never return a refugee to a conflict zone, or extradite a murder suspect to a country with a death penalty. Yet it gives only four years tops to a guy who facilitated the deaths of many….hard to reconcile.
Karen says
“But he later “slipped into radicalism” ….
Yeah, you know, these things just happen, like putting on 5 pounds if you’re not careful….
Champ says
But he later ‘slipped into radicalism.’ Whoops! Is that like slipping on a banana peel? Or more like slipping into something less comfortable?

LOL!!! …yeah dontcha hate it when that happens? 🙂
Karen says
Yes, its such a silly nuisance! 🙂
Mark A says
4 1/2 years is a totally inadequate sentence for someone who knowingly served in the armed forces of a “state” which has declared war on Germany and other western nations.
Apart from the things he while serving as a member of this outfit, his actions arguably amount to treason.
4 1/2 years is an inadequate sentence for that.

You can tell when anyone is lying when they start using metaphors like “slipped.”
Metaphors are lies; unlike analogies, which honestly compare two different but similar objects or processes, by adding the word “like” (i.e: “this is LIKE this”) metaphors pretend dissimilar things or actions ARE the same.
Metaphors are a linguistic form of lying in which the lying criminals using them both idolize (pretend the static is dynamic, or nouns are verbs, giving false life to objects) and objectify (pretend the dynamic is really static, that verbs are nouns, and that living creatures are really only objects).
The real problem is that humans have problems because when they imagine a generalization or grouping is something new, with new properties its individual component parts don’t possess on their own, they err.
Humans erroneously engage in idolatry when they pretend generalizations are specifics, &/or vice-versa.
And criminals deliberately pretend to err as alibi-excuses: their crimes are ‘mistakes,’ and mistakes crimes, especially when they lie to themselves and others by assertively ‘confessing’ intent:
“Screw you! I MEANT to do that!”
Thus, the people in ‘government’ or ‘national security’ actually come to believe in their idolatry, that these are real things, which are somehow different from the real human individual citizens.
So they ignore the Golden Rule of Law, pretending they must ‘worship’ (protect; make safe & happy) the idol.
Bottom line: Metaphors are lies. They substitute nice images for real cause-and-effect thinking.
Smart people don’t have to – and won’t stoop to – indulge in the use of such fallacies.

The Germans are culturally indoctrinated to so-easily “slip” into jihad:
after all, the Nazis themselves were really only “white” muslims!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH WESTERN GOVERMENTS? WHEN THEY WILL PUT SALAFIS OUT OF LAW??? THEY ARE GETTING FREE PLACES FOR MOSQUES PAYED BY GERMAN AND FRENCH TAX PAYERS, WHERE THEY PLAN TO KILL AND RAPE THEIR CHILDREN? SALAFIS OUT OF LAW, ARRESTED AND SHUT DOWN IMEDIATELY, THAT IS THE WILL OF EUROPEAN PEOPLE
Dave Windsor says
Of course they have NOT fully investigated the Mosques. There will be no exchange between cultures. Is the pope going senile. This dangerous you asinine dim-wit.. Why, you ask, well, here it is -ISLAM IS ISLAM. THERE ARE ‘NO’ MODIFIERS.. You have been suckered by them and have become an enabler just like our own Prime Minister wannabe Imam because of your short sightedness about Islam. For example, you ignore the FACTS that Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion. You also ignore the fact that your country as well as all of Europe, Scandinavia and Britain have been invaded, for what purpose other than to overthrow all of this region of the world and to kill all, even You Mr. Senate speaker once they have done with you and your liberal masters with their short sightedness and weak minds. You see, mister, how much more dangerous it is to whole heartedly secede to them like you always do. This sir is war…..not anything less, and you are loosing it and a direct cause of the rest of us loosing it too. THIS INVASION WILL NOT BRING UNITY, IT WILL BRING YEARS AND YEARS OF CIVIL WAR AND AFTER THAT IS DONE, WHEN ALL INFIDELS HAVE BEEN KILLED OFF, IS CONTINUE BECAUSE MUSLIMS CAN NOT AND WILL NOT AGREE WITH THEMSELVES LET ALONE THE INFIDELS, OR EVEN THE POPE himself for that matter. Your usefulness will pass and as it has been said this past winter YOU MAY VERY WELL BE THE LAST POPE EVER WHEN THEY ALSO SWARM THE VATICAN. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE.
