The report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), which was released this week, shows that the number of radical Islamists now totals 10,800, up from 9,700 the year before and shows a more than doubling of the number from five years ago
The number of terrorism cases has also greatly increased between 2016 and 2017. Last year the agency said there had been 1,200 terror cases initiated, 1,000 of which were related to radical Islamic elements. In 2016, the total number was 250 with 200 of the cases being linked to radical Islam.
“Number of Radical Islamic Salafists Tops 10,000 in Germany for the First Time,” Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 25, 2018:
The number of known radical Islamic Salafists has exceeded the 10,000 mark, according to a new report by the German domestic intelligence agency.
The report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), which was released this week, shows that the number of radical Islamists now totals 10,800, up from 9,700 the year before and shows a more than doubling of the number from five years ago, Die Welt reports.
The newspaper has also claimed that the number of radical Islamists coincides with an increase in the number of criminal cases in which a radical Islamic motive or background was suspected.
The BfV noted that Germany is still in the crosshairs for radical Islamic terrorism and that the situation is still very serious. The agency said that they have identified around 1,880 individuals in Germany who they believe may have the potential to carry out a terrorist attack and more worryingly, that the number was continuing to rise.
The number of terrorism cases has also greatly increased between 2016 and 2017. Last year the agency said there had been 1,200 terror cases initiated, 1,000 of which were related to radical Islamic elements. In 2016, the total number was 250 with 200 of the cases being linked to radical Islam.
The report echoes that of other security agencies in Europe which continue to reveal a rise in the number of radical extremists…..

At least Germans have IDENTIFIED THE ENEMY: an ideology of jihadism called “SALAFISM”.
Unfortunately, most Jihad Watch viewers STILL DO NOT KNOW the vital term “SALAFISM”. They have been too lazy to inform themselves. It is URGENT to do so.
Salafism is basically ‘primitive’ (that is ORIGINAL and PRIMARY) Islam … the Islam of the first two or three generations of Islam … the violent, vicious, fractious, fratricidal, bloodthirsty Islam of the rival caliphs.
So, JW viewers, PLEASE learn about “SALAFISM” … do a search and INFORM yourselves. Don’t be lazy. SALAFISM IS THE ENEMY.

Islam is the enemy. Salafism is genuine Islam as practiced by Muhammad.
Every Muslim is an adherent of an ideology which commands its adherents to spread the ideology until it rules the world.
Muslim immigration is suicide. Dividing Muslims into peaceful, harmless Muslims and conquering Muslims is a fool’s errand. All Muslims support the conquest of the non-Muslim world.
Andy says
Are South Koreans RACIST because they don’t want Islamic immigration?
If only our Judeo-Christian civilized countries would do what South Korea is doing, TAKING A STAND AGAINST MORE ISLAMIC IMMIGRATION!!!
South Koreans Stand Against Islamic Immigration!!!

Yes to both of you, I keep saying……Read up and wake up.
This site probably hosts a greater proportion of people who know what Salafism is (and Wahhabism, and jihad and dawa are), than just about anywhere else.
Sad, isn’t it? Educate your neighbors.

Every Muslim should be viewed as a POTENTIAL TERRORIST unless proven other wise . One can never trust a snake and wait till it kills you. Better safe than sorry!!!
boakai ngombu says
anyone who seeks to follow SHARIA – to the exclusion of any other understanding – should be viewed as a potential terrorist.
SHARIA assures there shall be slaves (muslims) who pledge allegiance to the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers)
islam (submission; subjugation; abasement) brings no peace … only despair … absolute estrangement from God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
Eur says
In Europe unfortunately we know well what Salafism / Wahhabism is. The vast majority of young Muslims living in Europe are attracted by that rigorist vision of Islam … the primitive Islam of the first Islamic states. Mohammedanism pure and hard, he who returns to primitive Islam and divides societies into faithful and infidels. Sunni Islam is very similar to Wahhabism, no Sunni can say that Salafism is not Islam. In my city the Islamic community is divided, the Salafists want to be separated, they do not want to celebrate the Ramadan together. It is true that they are a minority … but a very large minority, almost half of the Muslims in my city go to Salafist mosques. If Salafism is not Islam … then almost half of the Muslims in my city are not Muslims? Go to their mosques and tell them.

Yes–Salafism is just orthodox Islam.
Older Canadian says
Yes I am suspicious also of the abnormality and the spread especially the threats Greece has received recently.
Here in Ontario we have about 30 fires in the Perry Sound area. Also rare as to the number of, and the spread of, and am very concerned.
It is so sad that we appear to suspect arson to what was once an expected annual danger from natural roots. But that appears is the new norm.

“1,200 terror cases initiated, 1,000 of which were related to radical Islamic elements”
And the other 200 were Muslims with “mental illness”.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
mortimer, a point of correction. The term “salafi”is from the root “salaf(past)”.Technically it means precedent, ie the pattern of interpretation of Islamic sources by early Muslim scholars. It has been hijacked by wahhabists whose ideology is revival of that perverted and isolated interpretations of Islamic sources by khawariji sect rejected by Muslims for long. It is for wahhabists to get acceptance from Muslims that they rename themselves as salafists.
As such salaf (precedence) doesn’t mean primitive because precedents are just working model to build on. Had it been that you are learned on Fiqh you will be able to understand it very well. But in all fields of studies, there are precedent. Eg, in economics, we have economic models, which are economic theories from which you build on economic analysis. modern muslim scholars take those models of interpretation by early Muslim scholars, analyse them against the background of past issues and make an analogy with present issues to see if they are identical. If they are not identical or could not solve the present problems, they go back to the sources to do Ijtihad (ability to form an independent opinion from the spirit of the sources). So, muslim scholars do not do blind imitation of the interpretation of the previous precedents or models because reality of the present time is not the same as that of the past.
But, wahhabists as myopics never modify past interpretations even if they are not practicable. As such they are backwarded like saudi monarchs. Note:It is the interpretations that can be altered to respond to changing circumstances, there no need to alter the sources, especially the Quran and Hadith, because they are the basis of interprations. In fact most of the examples in the Quran and Hadith are parables to pass the message, not constant.

itace, there exists some disagreement with you post, ” CO16254 | Salafis and Wahhabis: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Don Vito, i simply said wahhabists rename themselves as salafists to get acceptance from Muslims because they found that many Muslims are not comfortable with wahhabi ideology being associated with terrorism due to their narrow and literal interpretation of Islamic sources, especially on jihad fighting. Even the 4 schools used salafi pattern of interpretation of the Quran and Hadith with neccessary modifications to suit their time . Likewise, modern muslim scholars use the pattern or models of 4 schools to build their analysis to address emerging issues

Ibrahim itace muhammed has *himself* affirmed that Islam teaches Muslims to wage violent Jihad against any of the Infidels who do not submit.
He is not opposed to this–he just considers some of these Jihadists to be rivals to his own gang.

This is only apt to get worse, with more Muslims flooding into Europe.

libertyORdeath says
83% of “terror attacks” in the country were carried out by jihadists which means that those “far-right extremists” that are constantly referred to as the real problem is responsible for less than 17% (probably closer to 5-10% at the most).
Can you imagine if the West would have been so open, supportive and understanding of the USSR during the cold war? It is a sign of how ridiculous things have become that we are not only inviting our enemies to live in our countries at incredibly high numbers, but also defending their “right” to do so.

Intern the lot.
Then: expel.
When the next lot pops up from amongst the ummah: rinse and repeat.
At the same time… STOP importing Muslims. “When in hole, stop digging”.

Got Musims? Got Mosques? Got Jihad.
More Muslims, more mosques = *more* Jihad.
That’s where Europe – and many many other places worldwide, such as a good many previously overwhelmingly-non-Islamic countries in *Africa* – are at, right now.
Muslims poured in – sometimes claiming to be ‘refugees’; mosques popped up all over; and then the Jihad kicked off.
Kasey says
Have the authorities there worked out how they will handle the lethal violence once those jihadists coordinate their actions on a daily basis?
