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

Germany: 100 “radical Islamists” in 2013 and 1,600 today

Feb 23, 2017 6:32 pm By Robert Spencer

What a surprise! To what could this skyrocketing number of “radical Islamists” be attributed? Might it have something to do with Merkel’s disastrous immigration policies? No, it would be bigoted, racist and “Islamophobic” to think that.

“German intel agency notes dramatic increase in Islamic extremism,” DW, February 22, 2017:

The domestic intelligence service has announced an uptick of hundreds in a matter of months. At least one cause of the worrying trend is the ease with which young people can become radicalized online, authorities said.

Germany’s domestic security and intelligance [sic] agency (the BfV) said on Wednesday that the radical Islamist scene in the country had grown considerably, from only about 100 people in 2013 to some 1,600 today. Indeed, according to BfV chief Hans-Georg Maassen, the number had jumped by several hundred in a matter of months….

“These are social groups that find each other, let’s say through their mosque community, and the people who see them in the real world don’t necessarily notice any change in behavior,” according to Maassen.

Through their mosque community? But…but…don’t the vast majority of peaceful Muslims rise up and throw out the jihadis from among them?

Of the 1,600 Islamists living in Germany, Maassen said that about 570 of them were considered “dangerous,” that is, capable of plotting an a terror attack.

German authorities are constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the Salafists, which has meant banning a particularly controversial translation of the Koran to a series of raids and arrests against suspected attackers.

German authorities are kidding themselves if they think that the standard Arabic Qur’an doesn’t contain the same problematic passages they found in that translation.

    That is the direct result of forsaking common sense in favor of liberal social experiments – western European leaders do not use their heads!

      It is costless for them. They get to look good while the real costs will be borne by subsequent generations.

    Germany must have at least 2,000 dangerous jihadists and 20,000 quiet Isalmic supporters who will hide them when they are on the run.

      and an even larger group who are ideologically aligned with the jihadis. Every Muslim supporting Sharia law – criminalising/punishing blasphemy, apostasy, homosexuality and supporting the degrading of women and non-muslims – are all willingly or unwillingly working towards the same goals as their Jihadi brothers; spreading Islam and deconstructing Western society.
      A true moderate would never suggest we restrict our cherished free speech/freedom of the press in order to accommodate the religious sensitivities of Muslims. So how many moderates are there really?!?

    I’m so sick of hearing about this scourge and being informed. But once your eyes are open, there’s no going back.

      moeped, I understand how you feel. But those of us who recognize the Jihad threat are in the position of warning and educating people. It can be very, very hard–but it ultimately a morally fine position to be in, and one I believe we should embrace.

      Before WWII, there were many–in the press, in politics, in education–who whitewashed the Nazis and even urged the West to embrace Fascism as “modern”.

      There were also a brave minority who kept warning people of the danger.

      These are the people who ultimately saved freedom and Western civilization.

      I think good people like ourselves are in no less a position today. Take heart, and don’t despair!

        Thank you gravenimage 🙂
        You’re right of course, we must continue to let people know. Unfortunately we also see where this will all lead and what future generations will face.

    Not all unholy ko ‘ran followers are 100% radical, yet, in other words they’re not following the unholy ko ‘ran that closely, yet, but the unholy ko ‘ran is 100% radical.

    To be a Muslim is to be a Jihadist. Jihad is one of the core tenets of Islam. ALL Muslims have a duty to wage Jihad. Not all Muslims are active Jihadists killing kaffirs but all Muslims support Jihad, financially, politically and socially. These Muslims are just as dangerous as their brothers wearing suicide vest and holding AK 47s in their hands.

    • kessler says

      Indeed. Draw a cartoon of their prophet, and all the so-called moderates will reveal their true beliefs. Beliefs which are fundamentally incompatible with ours, and fully aligned with their violent jihadi brothers.
      The biggest threat is the stealth jihad, as it is prepping the grand takover by slowly chipping away our freedoms. It is disarming us by installing a sense of guilt and necessity to accommodate their religious sensitivities in the name of tolerance. They pretend to use their “democratic” right, but trust me – when the day comes, democracy is the last thing on their mind. We are being abused and most people don’t even realize it.

    Well is this article not crystal clear evidence that Germany does have a problem?
    Sure, it doesn’t confirm whether or not these 1600 Islamists are new arrivals or not, but anyone with a two-digit IQ would be able to put 2 and 2 together.
    It’s an explosive increase (sorry for the pun) – no amount of goodwill is worth risking the lives of German civilians. If it’s impossible to help people in need without increasing the risk of jihad slaughter attacks – I’m sorry, but the door is closed. Any sane society would do it’s utmost to protect it’s citizens. Merkel prefer the “humanitarian” ideology over the protection of her people. It’s a disgrace.
    2017 will be a year of blood and carnage in Germany. A year when the native Germans will experience fear and assaults on their freedom. I hope with every fibre in my body that a principled, responsible leader will take Merkel’s place. That she is still in the race is beyond me.

      Just yesterday they arrested a so-called Islamistic “endangerer” – a new synonym for potencial terrorist. Although the press codex demands that you must not mention the nationality of a suspect, if there is no connection to the crime, we could learn that he is a German without migration background.

      The official politic wants the Germans to have this Information because they believe that it shows that everybody can become a terrorist.
      What they forget is the fact that the combining element for islamic terrorists is not their nationality but their ideology.

        They certainly did not flood into Germany to embrace Christianity.In such large numbers they have no need to.This is a take over. They eventually will be INSISTING on Islam being placed alongside Christianity as an equal with all its religious festivals given equal promenance.That is our future unless a stand is made.Not looking likely at the moment.

    If you go to the Jihadwatch main size, can you see this article?
    I only came across it because it was on the Daily Digest. I don’t understand if it’s a website error or deliberate to show only a portion of news stories on the main home page.
    I hope someone can shed some light on this

    That fool Merkel cannot or will not learn from the disastrous results of her PC Muslim immigration policy of allowing so many Muslim migrants enter the nation of Germany to live. That is to live and terrorize by crime and jihad attacks as in that murderous truck jihad attack in Berlin. Merkel is by the policies of folly proven herself to be incompetent and unfit to hold the office she is now in.. Moreover, Merkel is as guilty as sin regarding taking part of the blame for that Islamic terror truck attack in Berlin last month. For her PC politics and polices led to that murderous jihad murder disaster. Furthermore, is should be made clear that the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, [the Koran] gives instruction in the ways of the violent and deadly jihad. To give only one out of many examples of this from the Koran is Sura 47:4. Which teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using a large truck as a weapon, as the Muslim /jihadist did, can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.

    MUslims breed like rabbits and they do so to multiply their people everywhere at a faster rate than the normal populace. 4 or more wives is done to infest the world with muslims who are terrible people even together and immigrating only makes them more powerful to control each nation that allows even one.
    Bringing in one means a Mosque will soon be added, terrorists will infest everything and take over as they are doing in Germany, Holland, Spain, England and now Sweden.

      No they do not breed like rabbits , but do have the ideal to have as many children as posible, all cared for by the state. I guess true devil worshiping muslims can be considered vermin anyways
