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

Hamburg police tried to recruit supermarket jihad murderer as informant

Aug 6, 2017 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“In June, a member of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) travelled to the asylum home where Ahmad lived to talk about the signs of radicalisation with the asylum home staff. The officer started talking to Ahmad and realised that he had been radicalised and attempted to recruit him to inform on other members of the Hamburg Islamist scene, but failed.”

So they knew he was a jihadi, and they tried to recruit him to work for the Infidel German government. This demonstrates that German authorities, like authorities all over the West, don’t have the first foggiest clue of what it means to be a jihadi, or of how to deal with the jihad threat. They’re too encased in their denial and willful ignorance to deal with the jihad against Germany with anything remotely resembling realism.

“Hamburg Police Tried to Recruit Islamist Supermarket Attacker as Informant,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 5, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A new report claims Hamburg police attempted to recruit Ahmad A., the failed Palestinian asylum seeker who killed one and injured several others at a Hamburg supermarket last week, as an informant.

Shortly after the attack, police announced Ahmad A. was known as being part of the Islamist scene in the city though authorities did not believe he was a full-on jihadist.

A new report claims the authorities knew far more about the Islamist killer and that police even tried to recruit him in June last year, Der Spiegel reports.

A member of the intelligence community reached out to Ahmad A. under the guise of being a fellow Islamist, in September 2016 and was asked by Ahmad what was the best way to get to Syria, presumably to fight for a group like Islamic State. The agency then passed on the information to the federal police.

An Islamic State flag was also discovered in the locker of the 26-year-old at the asylum home where he lived, fueling speculation that he is a supporter of the radical Islamic terror group.

Ahmad came to police attention once again in a separate incident when a worker at a “refugee cafe” informed them that Ahmad had come into the cafe wearing a long robe promising that “terror will come here”.

In June, a member of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) travelled to the asylum home where Ahmad lived to talk about the signs of radicalisation with the asylum home staff. The officer started talking to Ahmad and realised that he had been radicalised and attempted to recruit him to inform on other members of the Hamburg Islamist scene, but failed.

Despite all the evidence of his radicalisation, police have maintained that the failed asylum seeker was motivated by mental illness rather than by terrorist intentions….

          You bet they know him well. But they don´t want to fight him. The German police has to decide very soon wether they want to stay helpers for the islamisation of Germany or do their true job and work for the German people.
          These last months I have lost most of my respect for the police.

    Message to Hamburg Police: KNOW YOUR ENEMY. READ YOUR ENEMY’S BOOKS. STUDY THE MEANING, MOTIVE and METHODS of your Islamic enemy.

    Actually, it sounds to me like the rank-and-file police knew their stuff. They recognized he had been radicalized and took the steps available to them: tried to bring him onboard. As LBJ used to say, better to have the camel inside the tent p*ssing out than outside the tent, p*ssing in.

    But, what to do with an obvious jihadi is a policy decision. If the German security chiefs and police chiefs are unwilling to make the decision to deport, or incarcerate security risks, there is little the line officer or security agent can do. There are far too many security risks in Merkels open-boarder failed state for police to track each one.

    Almost as good as the Butt terrorist in Britain applying for security in Wimbledon while, his sister worked at an airport. Actually, he was on some govt payroll for… ehem… for countering extremism. Appeared in a BBC doc labeling him a jihadi. The Manchester bomber’s father did the call to prayer at the Manchester mosque. We just saw the creep from Afghanistan who somehow joined the German army and was let go for holding Afghani views. We have the Pakistani IT guys scandal in the US. It’s all a big joke.
