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

German army has admitted over 60 suspected Islamic State jihadis into its ranks

Aug 29, 2016 12:33 pm By Robert Spencer

They are going to spend 8.2 million euros a year on tougher security checks on recruits. This will, of course, fail: the German government, like other Western governments, is committed as a matter of policy to ignoring and denying the motivating ideology of jihadis, so it will prove abjectly incapable of vetting for it. What it should be doing is reevaluating its recruitment and immigration policies in general, but it wouldn’t dare do that.

“German army wants security checks for recruits after admitting more than 60 Isil suspects in its ranks,” by James Rothwell, Telegraph, August 28, 2016 • 4:31pm

The German army has said it wants tougher security checks on recruits after admitting that more than 60 Islamists are suspected of infiltrating its ranks.

In a draft amendment seen by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, senior Bundeswehr officials said all applicants should be screened by the intelligence services for jihadist links before they begin basic training.

And they disclosed that 64 Islamists are already feared to have embedded themselves within the armed forces, along with 268 right-wing extremists and six left-wing extremists.

Terrorists are attracted to the army because they can use the training to plot future terror attacks in Germany, the document added.

“The German army trains all of its members in the handling and usage of weapons of war,” it said, “[terrorists] could use those skills acquired in the army to carry out well-prepared acts of violence at home or abroad.”

The proposals would lead to a major overhaul of the country’s recruiting policy as under the current system soldiers are only checked for Islamist ties once they have enlisted.

They would also require an extra 90 military officials to be hired in order to carry out a further 20,000 checks per year.

The reforms, which would cost an estimated 8.2 million euros (£6.9m) per year, are expected to be approved by German commanders next week, Welt am Sonntag reported….

        A bunch of future Nidal Hassan’s who will slaughter their fellow soldiers; Shillary and Obama must be jealous of how much better Merkel is at destroying her own country.

    How is this supposed to vet people who pledge their allegiance to the islamic state without ever contacting a recognized member of it?

    They will waste 8.2 mil on liars who won’t reveal their bad intentions until its too late. Same as the influx of refugees on the public of Germany, too late.

      They are no looking for jihadis, they will only check on the right-wingers who are much more dangerous than jihadi terrorist.

    Note the silly alarmist clap trap about “268 right-wing extremists” which means 268 people opposed to Islamic theocracy and international socialism. But it doesn’t follow that all 268 “extremists” are hostile to collectivism, central planning, and related aspects of the leftist religion. Further, 268 is many more, proportionally speaking, than 64+6. So it’s evident that most of the money is for keeping out enemies of Islamic theocracy and internationalism.

    This does not bode well for domestic politics in Germany. Those opposed to the internationalists’ schemes will perceive the “draft amendment” as another attempt to silence and marginalize them. So they have another reason to become increasingly frustrated and to despair. This makes Germany fertile ground once again for the rise of another rabidly collectivist, nationalist demagogue.

    The German left, ever perverse, has done it before, and it’s doing it again.

      I take your point but some “right wing extremists” are bound to be Neo Nazis, it being Germany.

        At this point a right wing extremist might just describe you if you happen to disagree with the PTM. Do you believe in free speech? You just might be a right wing extremist.

    The Germans can do all the security checks they like and it won´t make an iota of difference. Imams start infecting Muslim children with the Islamo-Rabies from the time they can stand onwards.

    All it will take to activate the Islam-Rabies in those ” peaceful” ” tolerant” and ” moderate” Muslims is the Allah Akbar howl from the local mosque.

    • katherine says

      Aug 29, 2016 at 7:19 pm

      Had always suspected that regular distracting howl to be an element of Psycho-War : it serves to condition non-Muslims from the cradle stage to accept the Omnipresence of Islam. Has any study been done so far on this subversive conditioning tactic ?

      Israel probably has some rules regarding the loudness permissible but local councils in some countries allow even deafening levels to persist – without any consideration for the nearby residents.

    Anybody want to bet that the true number of ‘right wing extremists’ is significantly lower than the quoted 268, while the true number of Jihadi’s is higher than 68?

    Anybody?

    Since “German army has admitted over 60 suspected Islamic State jihadis into its ranks”, then “tougher security checks on recruits” has already failed–in fact this epic fail!

    Aw, it’s so great that we’re so inclusive and everything, showing those racist, bigoted islamophobes that we’re all one people in pursuit of oneness and happiness and peace and love and everything that’s fluffy and soft. Every religion is about peace and love and cute stuff and those mean people have been bullying the peaceful ones and making them scarred and forcing them to do bad things but now we’re all squidgy warm and watching CNN together in a big love tent of warmness and active fingers. Sometimes I make a big poo and kiss it before it has to go, letting it know that it was a valued member of our wonderful society. It’s so great being off my head with love and compassion. ISIS just need a big old cuddle and then we can do warm things together xxx

    ………………………

    Oh, boy–how long before we start seeing “Green on Blue” killings in Germany, just like in Afghanistan? Suicidal madness.

  15. Muslims are 31 times...EXTREMISTS says

    Aug 29, 2016 at 4:23 pm

    There are only 1200 Muslim in the german army-5% are EXTREMISTS!!!!!!

    That means that Muslims in the german army are 31 more often EXTREMISTS than NON-MUSLIMS!!!!

    But no stupid journalist see this.

    The woman in the above photo is Germany’s Minister of Defense!
    Other EU countries with women at the MoD helm include: the Netherlands, Norway & Sweden.
    ALL of these countries have nearly-overwhelming problems with Moslem INVADERS, yet possess small, weak militaries that are subservient to Brussels (& NATO)!
    Face it: today’s (European) women are INVITERS while (Moslem) men are STILL INVADERS!
    TRUMP/PENCE 2016!

    Re: “they disclosed that 64 Islamists are already feared to have embedded themselves within the armed forces, along with 268 right-wing extremists and six left-wing extremists.”

    And of course it’s even worse, because what they call “right wing extremists” ARE left-wing muslim sympathizers, too!

    And over at Gates of Vienna, it’s claimed that 60% of the German Army are already Muslims of Turkish origin:
