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

Germany: Major Islamic State jihad terror plot thwarted, police raid 54 mosques, homes and businesses

Feb 1, 2017 12:56 pm By Robert Spencer

“Officials said the main suspect arrested was a 26-year-old Tunisian man who has been wanted since August 2015 as a recruiter and people smuggler for Isis….They suspect the jihadi of involvement in the attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunisia in March 2015…German authorities said the man was freed from prison in September, and because Tunisia had not submitted the required extradition documents, he had to be released from temporary custody in November after the maximum period allowed under German law.”

Those sentences constitute a suitable epitaph for Germany.

Meanwhile, mosques were raided? You’d almost think jihad terrorism had something to do with Islam.

“Mass terror raids thwart ‘planned Isis attack’ in Germany as more than 50 mosques and buildings searched,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, February 1, 2017:

A new terror attack plot has been thwarted in Germany after mass police raids resulted in the arrest of a prolific Tunisian Isis recruiter.

Police stormed 54 homes, mosques and businesses in the state of Hesse in the early hours of the morning in an operation targeting extremists planning “serious state-threatening violence”.

“According to evidence gathered so far, attack plans were still in an early phase and had not selected a specific target,” said a spokesperson for the Hesse state criminal investigation office.

Officials said the main suspect arrested was a 26-year-old Tunisian man who has been wanted since August 2015 as a recruiter and people smuggler for Isis.

The unnamed suspect has allegedly established a network of supporters “with the aim, among other things, of committing a terrorist attack in Germany”.

He was present in Germany from 2003 to 2013, then returned during the refugee crisis of 2015 posing as an asylum seeker.

He was arrested shortly afterwards over a previous conviction for bodily harm in 2008, for which he needed to serve 43 days in prison, and Tunisian authorities had also requested his extradition.

They suspect the jihadi of involvement in the attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunisia in March 2015, which left 20 tourists dead, and an assault by Isis insurgents on the border town of Ben Guerdane last year.

German authorities said the man was freed from prison in September, and because Tunisia had not submitted the required extradition documents, he had to be released from temporary custody in November after the maximum period allowed under German law….

    Huh, why? Couldn’t Germany simply go “he’s a criminal in his home nation, he entered the country under false pretexts posing as a refugee, so we don’t want him here” and deport him immediately?

      That would show that they are Islamopbic and it is not good for Merkel! m

    Wait for the furor teutonicus. A tarred and feathered Merkel is a nice picture.

    Approx on topic….

    22nd January, Berlin: “….onto or against police cars and policemen there was massive stone throwing by 10-15 persons belonging to the left wing scene {insert: that means Antifa}. Measures/actions which would have led to the apprehension and conviction of the culprits were prohibited by the leadership of the police. So it is done for a long time in Berlin, in agreement with the politics {insert: of the gov. red-green coalition}” Stated under condition of anonymity by one of the officers to “Bild Zeitung”. Reported in “Junge Freiheit”.

    Further:

    Was about a month ago when Germany tried to make arrangements for repatriation, there was a demo in Tunisia, they help up signs reading (in broken German, translated by me as such) “Angela Merkel! Tunisia is not the trash can for Germany” – which refers to Tunisians to be send home…

    Was reported in PI-Magazine, picture of Tunisian demo and banner here: http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2017/01/Merkel-768×396.jpg

    Charming, no?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Feb 2, 2017 at 9:11 am

      YES.

      if the searches were sufficiently thorough – I *hope* that army sappers were involved, just in case there were any features to the construction that were, er, *special*, like … tunnel entrances, or illegal hidden sub-basements with drug and/ or explosive labs and/ or armouries, and I also hope that sniffer dogs were used, the kind that can detect illegal substances, and explosives, and .. just to be comprehensive… cadavers… then surely enough evidence of, ah, suspicious activities will have been found, to justify permanent shutdowns and, yes, razing to the ground would be an excellent idea.

      It would send a message.

    Merkel could have been doing this all along. She is only cracking down in a few show cases to get re-elected. If she wins, it will be back to business as usual — the police will be used to crackdown on her political critics.

    • DFD says

      Feb 1, 2017 at 3:34 pm

      You know the current Germany, don’t you?

      • Bill says

        Feb 1, 2017 at 5:01 pm

        I know what I observe. Merkel’s actions are wholly transparent. I only hope that German citizens see that too when it counts. I am not sure that German citizens are in a position to save themselves. It may be too late. If you are German, I wish you luck.

        Sweden is absolutely gone — no turning back there. France, nearly so. England nearly so. Spain and Italy, not far behind. The USA, had Clinton been elected, would have been right where Germany is now, so it is not like I have reason to be content with the situation in the USA.

        Ironically, the European nations that see the threat with clarity are those that only recently escaped being under thrall by the Soviet Empire (i.e. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic).

      Bill, Merkel is a two faced traitor to her country!!! Not to mention what she has done to all of Europe. I just hope the German people wake up, and get with the movement to put Islam and Merkel, and the globalist filth out of business..

    • j_not_a says

      Merkel is feverishly desperate to prevent any more terror attacks before the election in September. She knows that if there is another on the scale of the Christmas market in December she’s toast That’s what you’d think so anyway

    Dear German Friends,
    Demolish, Demolish all those mosques!
    Why do you Need them??
    They only change your Christian culture by eating it up, piece by piece, year by year, and replacing it by a moslem one, i.e. incl by their Quran 9:5 (“Kill German Christians wherever you find them!”).

    If it happened the other way round in a muslim country, its government would remove the ‘rebel’ churches and replace them by mosques.

    The main suspect is Angela Merkel and her idiotic policies.
