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

German intelligence top dog says 2,240 jihadis now in Germany, Islamic State “can launch an attack anytime”

Apr 15, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Haldenwang “warned against an increasing threat posed by the return of ‘Islamic State’ (IS) jihadis from Syria and northern Iraq.”

Why were they let back in? Because they’re German citizens, and the Merkel government is not in the least concerned about the fact that they joined an entity that is avowedly at war with Germany and has repeatedly called for attacks on German civilians.

Haldenwang also “admitted that it is not possible for authorities to monitor all terror suspects.”

That has been the Islamic State’s strategy all along: to overwhelm Western law enforcement and intelligence agencies until they collapse, as I detailed in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS. And it’s working beautifully.

“IS can still launch attacks in Germany: intelligence chief,” by Shamil Shams, DW, April 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has warned against underestimating the threat posed by “Islamic State” despite the militant group’s apparent defeat in Syria and northern Iraq.

In an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Thomas Haldenwang, the head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) — Germany’s domestic intelligence agency — warned against an increasing threat posed by the return of “Islamic State” (IS) jihadis from Syria and northern Iraq.

Haldenwang said that the number of radical Islamists in Germany rose to 2,240 in 2018.

“I cannot give an all-clear on IS,” Haldenwang said. “It can launch an attack in Germany anytime,” he added.

The BfV president said that IS still exists with a focus on the “virtual cyber caliphate” that can still attract collaborators for attacks.

Haldenwang, however, admitted that it is not possible for authorities to monitor all terror suspects. “We’ll need at least four people to monitor one such person. We are only focusing on those who could be extremely dangerous.”…

Haldenwang also stressed that Germany had to “pay more attention to far-right extremism.”…

Of course. Priorities are priorities.

    Are the once brave, intelligent Germans willing to live with the Sword Of Islam poised over their heads? What the hell is the matter with Europe and Britain? Pack this Islamic scum into boats and ship them back to the sand pit they came from. Vote traitors like Merkle out of office and take your country back!

      On May 26th there are the EU votes. I really hope that the conservatives – the true ones: AfD, Fidesz, Lega etc – will gain strengh. But I do not believe in such miracles.

    One can almost hear future German government voices in the misty murk of time…..”We were so busy keeping track of PEGIDA that nobody read the intelligence report from ( ) that indicated an Islamist attack was imminent.

      Haldenwang replaced Hans-Georg Maasen who was fired because he told the truth about Chemnitz and showed clearly that Merkel and the Socialist, Greens, and Links (formerly SED)-Parties were lying including the far left MSM. He told the truth about Chemnitz and thus was sacked. Haldenwang is just the right guy for this fake government, he is a Socialist and of course will “keep an eye on the right” but his left eye is blind to their pampered Antifa. https://www.euractiv.com/section/justice-home-affairs/news/outgoing-german-spy-chief-sacked-for-branding-spd-as-radical-left/

    too late to fix this. 500 terrorists who believe in your destruction is enough to start a civil war. 2,000? Wow. I am sure it is a larger number.

    Germany is in the same position as every other Islamic nation now.

    How stupid are you Germany? If you know someone is dangerous, why dont you expel them immediately and spend your resources to find and expel other dangerous people. Stupid stupid stupid. The Muslims are using our laws to destroy us.
