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

Germany: Muslim migrant arrested, “major terrorist attack” averted

Oct 31, 2017 11:53 am By Robert Spencer

Remember: anyone who opposes mass Muslim migration into Germany is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“German police arrest Syrian suspect, avert ‘major terrorist attack,'” Reuters, October 31, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

BERLIN (Reuters) – German police arrested a 19-year-old Syrian suspected of planning an Islamist-motivated bomb attack in Germany with the aim of killing as many people as possible, the federal prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said security officials had averted a “major terrorist attack”.

The man, identified as Yamen A., had been in contact online with jihadists including one who described himself as a “soldier of the caliphate”, a spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor’s office said.

Yamen A. was arrested in the early hours in the northeastern town of Schwerin. Police searched his home and also those of other people not suspected of being directly involved.

“According to the findings so far, Yamen A. made the decision no later than July 2017 to detonate an explosive device in Germany in order to kill and injure as many people as possible,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“As a result, he began to procure components and chemicals needed to make an explosive device. Whether the suspect had already envisaged a specific target for his bomb attack is still unclear,” the office added.

He had ordered chemicals over the internet that could be used to make the explosive TATP, short for triacetone triperoxide, the spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office later added. He had also acquired two radios, batteries and a cellphone battery, suggesting he planned a remote-controlled explosion by radio or mobile telephone.

There were no indications that he was a member of a terrorist organisation, the office said. It did not say when he arrived in Germany.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is trying to form a new coalition government after elections last month, has come under fire for allowing more than one million people to enter Germany over the past two years – many of them refugees from Syria.

Her ‘open door’ refugee policy saw her conservatives bleed support in the election to the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), which won seats in the national parliament for the first time….

    Could it possibly be that Germany is finally taking the Islamic jihad threat seriously? ?

      No. Not as long as Merkel has control of their brains.

    “There were no indications that he was a member of a terrorist organization”; oh really? He’s a member of the terrorist organization known as Islam.

      And why just the first initial of his last name. Who do they think they are fooling? Do the Germans actually fall for this nonsense? The initial “A” doesn’t stand for Adams, it is Abdullah or a variation thereof.

    Oh come on now Germany, if you let in over a million you have to expect that at least 10% of them will be jihadists, BTW that is well over 100,000 !!!

    If the percentage of muslims who support the jihad in Germany matches the estimates from around the world of muslims that support the jihad then it could rise to over 300,000 who are prepared to support the jihadists in Germany.

    Have a nice day German people.

      I don’t usually quote the bible but, “What does it matter if you gain the world and lose your own soul?” Or something like that.

    “No indication that he was a member of a terrorist organization”. REALLY ? This is blindness. ISLAM is a terrorist organization !! The Koran is full of bloodthirsty incitements to terror as a weapon against “the unbeliever”. And Mohammed said that “terror” had made him victorious ! Islam mandates terror: it is a terrorist ideology. Wake up !

    Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere – you idiot. You and your security officials do not deserve a pat on the back here. You deserve a roasting in the German High Court – answering for WHY you have put Germany in the situation to begin with, where a 19 year old Syrian migrant was plotting to blow people and things up.

    So much for ‘Yamen A’ wanting to escape the war in Syria. The little feral worm wanted to bring the war to Germany – and you bastard’s welcomed him with open arms. You all deserve jail right alongside him.

    I also am heartened to hear that Merkel is still trying to form a coalition. Begging for scraps round the table, is she? I hope for the sake of those who voted AfD that the AfD hold strong and true to their voters and do not compromise a single inch on Merkel and the Greens party. The best case scenario here is for Merkel to align with the Greens, for the Greens to force her to push through a whole bunch of political policy that is highly unpopular with the majority of voters – and then for Merkel to be voted out in a whitewash tide of sickened resentment by the German people. And to be forced to retire abruptly in ignominy.

    Ask Julia Gillard in Australia, about what happens when a Centre-Left leader is so desperate to gain power that she makes a deal with the Greens…. The precedent is right there – as are the consequences and the outcomes.. You’d think someone as experienced as Mad Merkel would be capable of seeing those signs.
