Why was he allowed into Germany at all? Because it would have been “Islamophobic” to keep him out. Why did police lose him after he was arrested three times? Because there are so many young Muslim men like Anis Amri, young men who could be jihad threats, that German authorities simply can’t keep up with them all. Thus it is madness for them to admit even more, but Merkel seems hell-bent on doing so anyway.
“Revealed: Tunisian asylum seeker wanted for Berlin massacre was jailed for four years in Italy for burning down a school and arrested three times in Germany before police lost him,” by Allan Hall, Martin Robinson and Julian Robinson, MailOnline, December 21, 2016 (thanks to Mike):
The Tunisian terror suspect wanted in connection with the Berlin Christmas market atrocity spent four years in an Italian jail before moving to Germany, his father revealed today.
Anis Amri settled in Italy after leaving his hometown of Tataouine, Tunisia seven years ago to travel to Europe as an illegal immigrant, his father claimed in a radio interview.
Amri, who has a €100,000 reward on his head, spent four years in an Italian jail after burning down a school before leaving the country for Germany last year.
Since then the 23-year-old has been arrested at least three times but German authorities have allowed the him to slip through their clutches time after time – even though Amri has been identified as an ISIS supporter known to have received weapons training.
He had been under covert for much of the time since his arrival in Germany last year.
Security forces exchanged information as recently as last month that allegedly tied Amri to Islamic extremists, Fox News reported.
And in June German authorities reportedly tried to deport Amri after learning he was plotting a ‘serious act of violent subversion’, a source told the Washington Post.
Amri even tried to recruit an accomplice for a terror plot – and again the authorities knew about it – but still he remained at large, it has emerged.
It is understood, Amri has used at least six different names under three different nationalities.
Berlin prosecutors announced they had launched an investigation into Amri on March 14 after receiving a tip-off from federal security agencies.
It was claimed, Amri was planning a string of break-ins or robberies to purchase automatic weapons for use in a terror attack.
Surveillance showed that Amri was involved in drug dealing in a Berlin park and involved in a bar brawl, but no evidence to substantiate the original warning. The observation was called off in September.
He arrived in Germany in July 2015 and was given a hearing by immigration authorities in April this year. He was denied the right to asylum and was due to be deported before the end of the year.
But under a peculiarity of the German asylum system he was granted a ‘Duldung’ or toleration papers allowing him to stay for unknown reasons.
According to BILD newspaper the German authorities were in touch with their Tunisian counterparts to get him a passport so he could be kicked out. But Tunis said it had no record of him being a citizen.
Tunisia has now been accused of delaying his extradition as it emerged that new ID papers had only just arrived in Germany today – two days after the carnage.
Amri was put on a danger list shortly after arriving – a move which meant authorities considered him prone to extreme violence. Yet just how much surveillance he was under remains unclear.
In July this year he got into a knife fight over drugs and was charged with GBH. But he went underground before getting to court.
Yet he surfaced again in August in Ludwigsburg when he was arrested for possessing a fake Italian document. Again, why he was allowed to slip through the fingers of the security services, given his known affiliation to hate preachers, is unclear.
Before his vanishing act he had contact with Salafist preachers who promoted Jihad among German young men who converted to Islam….

Here is the crux of the matter: https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article160494785/Staatsschutz-Bielefeld-sucht-Taeter-nach-Volksverhetzung.html#Comments
“State security Bielefeld seeks perpetrators after incitement of the people”
“According to current investigations one or more perpetrators in various parts of the Gueterloh area distributed A4 papers with various statement, such as ‘kill the infidels, wherever you find them’ and ‘accept Islam or die. There is no God other than Allah’ and ‘Berlin was only the beginning’.”
“Nach derzeitigem Ermittlungsstand brachten ein oder mehrere Täter an verschiedenen Örtlichkeiten im Gütersloher Stadtgebiet Din A4-Zettel mit verschiedenen Parolen, wie z.B. „Tötet die Heiden, wo ihr sie findet“ und „Nehmt den Islam an oder sterbt. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah“ und „Berlin war erst der Anfang“ an.”
One commentator: “Hm, if these statements are incitement of the people, why isn’t the koran also incitement of the people? The sentences originate 1:1 from the koran.”
And this is the West’s problem – we accept every incitement to violence under the guise of ‘religious freedom’. I asked a local ministry what about 4:34, inciting domestic violence, and they said religious freedom allows it.
Johan elzinga says
I could not agree more! Somehow it now seems allowed to perform hate crimes under the cover of religion.
maghan says
So what about “ideological freedom”? Would that put Hitler’s Mein Kampf on the same plane as the Qur’an?
Guest says
As an atheist I don’t see why some crazed ideological calls to violence are banned in Germany (Mein Kampf) but religious crazed ideological calls to violence are hunky-dory. Consistency is called for.
Rob Porter says
Guest,
The West with it’s mindless political correctness has lost it’s mind. Anyone who says that “inciting domestic violence” is allowed under “religious freedom” is a raving lunatic. However, we do not “accept every incitement to violence under the guise of ‘religious freedom’”, only when Islam is involved is it permitted. Let’s see how far this “religious freedom” extends were Baptists, Catholics or Methodists to perform violent acts.

But if he were Jewish the efficient Germans would know his every movement.
They. The Germans. Iny view. Are getting what they deserve.
As a Spanish doctor wrote a few years ago. And was around on the net.

I agree with you that the German authorities are idiots.
But you are wrong in believing that modern-day Germany is persecuting Jews–although the Muslim migrants there are.
nicu says
Stop that crap,that happened 80 years ago ! not only Germany committed atrocities !
reading stuff like this makes me believe that Jews are behind it to destroy Germany !
Jews and Muslims are Holy Cows in Ger´many – baka !
Oliver says
Nicu. If you don’t like my comments. Skip over them

They give. As does the US to the Palestinians. And never a word. Publicly about their terrorism in Israel

Um…no. Germany is not persecuting Jews, but neither are Jews out to get Germany. In fact, Jews in Germany are falling victim to Muslim savagery, just as Gentiles there are:
“Germany: Muslims screaming “Jew” attack and rob Jewish man”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/01/germany-muslims-screaming-jew-attack-and-rob-jewish-man
What is happening in Germany is due to “political correctness”–and it is happening over most of Europe, not just in Germany.
Right now, the Jewish population of Germany is about 118,000–out of a population of more than 80 million. This is about .001%. Do you really believe this tiny population is controlling German immigration policy?
Rufolino says
Yes Gravenimage, damned “political correctness” is the root of the failure. It is a paralysis, it acts like a tyrannical thought-police, it is like an injected drug subverting ideals, will-power, and determination.

Denny Lee Penticoff says
A militant supremacist ideology is not a religion. It is evil and most Muslims are part of active or inactive jihadist goals. 1400 years of Islamic conquest prove it. Keep a blind snowflake, but guard your feminine charms well because they belong to your Muslim master whether you like it or not.
Oliver says
Stephanie. Terror has no religion.
When did the Baptist or Seventh Day Adventists attack a bar. Both religions as does the Mormon faith forbid alcoholic consumption.
When did Hindus riot and burn meat slaughtering plants. Their religion forbids eating beef.
How about the Amish. Have they bombed auto plants.
In my view. Your comment is. Well. Dumb.
Guest says
I think she was being sarcastic. There’s no other way one can say such a thing any more.
gravenimage says
Oliver, Stephanie was sarcastically citing the Schnellmann Tweet, where clueless dhimmis are in denial over Jihad terrorism having anything to do with Islam.

No.
And. I don’t read German.

Someone who is. Obviously unable. To build proper sentences. Doesn’t really have a say in that regard, sorry.

Oliver I am Buddhist – what do you say , now ?
Oliver says
So. Never knew any Buddhists. Closest i knew some Hari Kridhnas
I think that was the name. Back in the 1970’s.
Don’t know if they are or were a branch of Buddhism.
dumbledoresarmy says
No, Hare Krishnas are an offshoot of HInduism, or inspired by Hinduism. Hence the name Hare Krishna, from the Hindu god, Krishna.
Myles says
Agree with your comment. The root cause of psychotic punks like amri is islam. But his fellow psychos, Western politicians like merkel, obama, cameron, hollande, etc. are happy to promote his jihad.
If this jihadi had made it to the U.S., our pathetic politicians would have written him a check, and made his life easy. In exchange he would support democrats like crooked hillary. Hopefully, Mr. Trump will put a stop to this madness.
Damocles Junior says
Looks like we have an up and coming very smart operator for Jihad activities He also seems to be far to smart to be fooled into being a suicide bomber or taking part in a martyrdom mission.
Stan Lee says
….Another time in the governance of the EU that it screwed up, lost a potential Muslim murderer, and innocent people died. It was due to happen because EU political correctness over reality brought on a “fast & loose” policy with Muslim immigration. To the EU, the most “unthinkable” possibility is deportation, not lives lost as a result of EU back-sliding.
.
Apparently, the EU and its member states have sloppy security, worse surveillance of criminal types and cannot imagine what seems unthinkable to it, summary deportation of undesirable migrants.
The member governments follow EU policy by intimidating their own police departments into silence and inaction.
The EU is not alert to threats against Europeans it has a duty to protect. It protects its grand, politically correct mirage, while gambling innocent lives in order to continue its gross stupidity.
Lives are being threatened and ended in order to preserve the “sacred” EU vision of “political correctness.”!

Muslim migrant wanted for Berlin massacre was jailed 4 years in Italy; police lost him
……………………………
He burned down a school in Italy and served prison time for it; he was a known terror accomplice in Germany. He is not a refugee, either being from Tunisia.
I have only one question: what the f*ck does it take for these Jihadists to be deported?
Mockingjay says
Oh gosh no, not the “D” word – that’s a VERY sensitive word in Germany
– and it seems that they surely are doing their utmost best to never ever “deport”
ANYONE again, at ANY cost…
Oliver says
Graven. In answer
To deport a criminal takes a government with guts. None seem to have it. Including Obama’s US. Here
Well Conn. A Haitian was in prison for attempted murder
Haiti did not want jim back
So he stayed on in Conn. And killed a woman
O think Conn also went for Clinton. Mindset of dumb assholes
Here and in Europe
Custos Custodum says
It’s about what Leftist governments WANT to do.
They clearly do not WANT to deport even convicted criminals let alone “mere” terror suspects.
Remember there are legions of social workers and other dispensers of taxpayer largess to whom these perps are valuable “clients” whose “needs” must be “met.”
More widely, tenured Leftists WANT to destroy the indigenous working class.

All just circumstantial evidence you know. No reason to detain him. Could happen to anyone. Just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. His mother said he was a good boy. Etc. etc.
Ralph Schleichkorn says
Total incompetence on the part of German Police and Security Services. It seems their right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing, if anything at all.
How many more of these Islamic terrorists or potential terrorists are on the loose in Germany, instead of being locked up or deported? How many more will Germany and other members of the E.U. allow in?
How many more innocent lives will be sacrificed in the name of political correctness, before something is done to end all this madness?

Incitement to terror and granted residence permit?

Heard that in Germany no surveillance cameras allowed in public places. Maybe this will be changed.
Even Tunisia has surveillance cameras
RationalVoice says
When the Berlin murder news was coming through two journalists were discussing it; one from the leftwing Daily Mirror and the other from the right wing Daily Express on Sky News. The Daily Mirror guy was going into to all sorts of verbal gymnastics to deny that it was a Muslim act and suggesting it might be an accident or a medical condition or nothing was confirmed and it was racists and Islamophobes who were saying it was Islamic terrorists etc etc etc
What I want to know is why this has to be a left/right issue when common sense strongly indicates what it was.. The terrorists even tell us in advance what they are going to do and where and this includes 9/11.
Germans seem to have fallen into this liberal tolerant mode when they virtually believe anything this foolish and incompetent Merkel government tells them. The tearful vigils, ,flowers and warm words for cold dead bodies from Merkel is their weak response !
They have form for this sort of docile” follow the leader behaviour” from 1933 to 1945 and it doesn’t matter if it was 80 years ago or not it shows a dangerous trait of their character. They are showing weakness to an evil worldwide enemy of freedom and democracy and not only not doing any of the heavy lifting to defeat this enemy but have brought by their own figures a Trojan Horse of 40,000 Jihadists into our midst.
2017 will be a terrible year for us all and many families will lose members.
Thank you Deutchland for once more bring death to Europe. You should stick to what you do best.Building cars!. Not being compassionate!!. IT IS NOT YOUR STYLE AS THE WORLD KNOWS !!!!
Oliver says
Right
I agree

They should not have allowed any Muslims in Germany. This started 50-60 years ago. Politicians are stupid and now it is a bit too late.
Oliver says
Started with Hitler. Using. Muslims ad camnon fodder.
Bezelel says
No excuse for not stopping him before he acted. About 9 paragraphs listed above, each one having enough reason to keep him confined until deported at the very least. Everyone in Germany who is against the madness must be completely enraged by this stupidity.
dumbledoresarmy says
Personally, I hope and pray that this means that a/ PEGIDA Germany (and PEGIDA everywhere else – e.g in UK) get a LOT more members and that b/ Alternativ fuer Deutschland points out, day and night, the obvious fact that if this bloke – a Muslim, from a 99.99 percent Muslim country, had NEVER been let into Europe in the first place – if his sorry ass had been booted right back to Tunisia the moment he turned up on a beach in Italy – 12 people would be alive today, who now are dead. Got Muslims? Got Jihad. Let in Muslims? – get Jihad, sooner or later, and the more Muslims, the more Jihad. If AfD points that out, day and night, and if queried, just keeps on stubbornly referring people to the Sira, and to the Quran (esp surahs 8 and 9), then with any luck, the Af D will have gained, as of now, and in ensuing weeks, a LOT more members and sponsors and, when the time comes, lots and lots and lots of votes.
Also, here’s hoping that *other* Islamoresistant Islamocritical parties in *other* European countries will *also* be pointing out the obvious, as yet another data point is added to the ever-mounting pile. And that *they* too will be scooping in lots of extra members, sponsors, and VOTES.
And then this jihadi’s little plot may end up backfiring on the ummah, bigtime.
Ade says
Terror attacks by muslims always back fire for them … every time there is a terror attack thousands of people world wide wake up to the realities of having people in the world who think it a good idea to follow muhammad ………. So it’s the stealth jihadis who use deception, the womb and politics to get the upper hand who are the real problem
dumbledoresarmy says
I will add that right from the outset Jihadwatch has had occasional regular posters identifying as French and Italian. But not many Germans. However, over the past three years I think it is, we have gained a number of very astute and articulate regular or regular-irregular posters – e.g. RichardL – who identify themselves as Germans from Germany. I think this is significant. Here’s hoping there are lots more who are lurking and learning, though perhaps not going so far as to sign in and comment (some, of course, may be in the same position as I would be at a German counterjihad site – able to understand the article and others’ postings, but not confident enough of the language, to want to become a commenter).
gravenimage says
I think poster DFD is German as well, DDA.
gary fouse says
A monument to the utter criminal negligence of European authorities. Now we have 12 dead sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
This is what we expect Trump to stop-letting these masses of Muslims into our country.
Gary says
First a Pakastani, and now a Tunisian suspect…..So much for a Syrian refugee crisis huh ? The criminal traitor politicians allowing this to happen in Europe should be put on trial.
Mo says
What struck me is that he’s only 23 and already he had been in jail for 4 years for jihad related activities. These Muslims are brainwashed by their death cult from such young ages.
It’s horrifying.
Eddie Wilson says
I’m sure all the good peace loving Islamic people will turn him in to authorities as soon as they can! Why does this never happen because they don’t exist.
dumbledoresarmy says
As regards where he might be hiding… My advice to the German authorities, right now, would be to pounce, as swiftly as they can, with no warning given, upon *every mosque in Germany* and search it – and all associated premises, residences, businesses and properties (including country estates/ rural properties) – from attic to basement, with sniffer dogs trained to sniff out persons, cadavers, drugs and explosives, and with army sappers trained in the detection of such things as booby traps, tunnels and tunnel entrances, false floors/ ceilings/ walls, hidden safes, etc etc etc.
They have a *cast iron* pretext. They should use everyone they’ve got – army, special forces, intelligence, army reserves, cops.
Even if they didn’t find *him* they would probably find all sorts of other things, nasty things, things the finding of which would justify the shutting down of said mosques and associated businesses, ‘schools’, etc and would lead to prosecutions for criminal and/ or terroristic activity, and deportations (AfD could press for deportations).
And any mosques which on being thus *thoroughly* surprise-searched appeared to be ‘clean’, and were for the moment left standing, could be *bugged* comprehensively… without informing the incumbents. Such bugging would probably reveal, in time, that a lot of *those* apparently-squeaky-clean mosques needed to be shut down – preferably, not just shut down but razed to the ground – also.
Benedict says
The authorities in Germany who allowed him into the country and those that let him free though knowing well that he was a danger to society should also be tried for murder. What answers do they have for the family and loved ones of those who were killed and those who are maimed for life. The attitude of Europe towards this Islamic nonsense needs to stop. The new US govt is going to show the world how it is done
Angemon says
Tunis was probably happy to get rid of him… I’m not saying that muslim-majority countries are emptying their prisons and sending their undesirables to enjoy rich European countries’ welfare system. I’m also not saying that they aren’t doing so or that they have no reasons to do so.
John says
Merkel owes Soros . As long as this will be , she will go along with her false refugee politic and Germany will see such events.
