Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Germany: Terrorists planning attack on synagogue arrested,” by David Rosenberg, Israel National News, January 14, 2020:
Authorities in Germany arrested suspected Islamist terrorists in a series of raids across the country Tuesday morning, AFP reported.
Chechen nationals suspected of being part of a terrorist plot were arrested in police raids in Berlin, Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Thuringia, the Berlin attorney general’s office announced in a tweet.
“On suspicion of planning a serious violent act endangering the state, search warrants are being executed in Berlin, Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Thuringia.”
The suspects arrested in the raids range in age from 23 to 28, and according to Berlin police are suspected of “having scouted locations” for a possible terrorist attack.
Police say their suspicions regarding the terror cell were first raised after one of the terrorist’s cell phones was examined during a routine police stop. Pictures on the phone raised officers’ suspicions, leading to a wider investigation culminating in Tuesday’s raids.
According to Der Spiegel, one of the targets the terror cell was considering for their planned attack is a Berlin synagogue. Video footage of the synagogue taken by cell members was found by police, the report said.
Shopping centers were also among the sites targeted.
Police confiscated money, computer equipment, and knives during the raids.

Expel all Muslim’s from Germany asap!

The founder of a Methodist Church, John Wesley clearly understood about Islam and Mohamed:
“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it … have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind.
— John Wesley, “The Doctrine of Original Sin, Works” (1841), ix 205

Thank you for that quote, Gea.

Koosemo says
Robert Spencer “an anti Muslim activist”
Give us a break and go comment in Al Jazeera or Al Manar.

Is this directed at Ashley. Koosemo? She is a staunch Anti-Jihadist–read her post again.

Ashley, thanks for posting this. Snopes has done this sort of thing before.
If you read what Robert Spencer had to say, he is quite correct.
And claiming that he “prompted threats and incitements of violence and murder” against Omar is utter calumny–he did no such thing. It is Snopes itself that is engaging in slander.
Gea says
Snopes js a leftist propaganda outfit that lies just as Muslims lie about Islam…

Cal it what it is and let Muslims prove otherwise.

Even calling them “suspected Islamist terrorists” is better than what you generally find in the media.

Glad they were stopped. But will they be deported? Will anyone investigate their families and Mosques? Likely not…

Graven,
I saw this yesterday and immediately thought of you. I’m sure you are aware of each and every incident/threat but thought you might like it on hand in a concise version for reference. Some of this material is somewhat dated but MEMRI saw fit to upload it yesterday.
Thanks for generously imparting your grove of knowledge to me and others.

Ashley says
Sorry. Meant “trove” not grove…
Lory says
But a “grove” is an entirely pleasant rendering of what you meant to say too.

Thank you, Ashley. I have heard of plots against a few of these targets, such as Pier 39 (a big tourist attraction) but I had missed most of this, including those horrifying ISIS posters threatening the city.
None of this has been covered by the local press–or if it has, it must have been tiny reports in the back pages.
Of course, San Francisco region is full of targets–tourist favorites, the tech industry, and–though you might not think it–military targets as well.
Like New York, we are also a famous city–people from all over the world would recognize the targets, if only from photos, and Jihadists would consider destroying people and monuments here a great coup.
Thank goodness for MEMRI and the important work they do.

This is where The United States would be right now if Hillary Clinton had been elected President instead of Donald Trump.
We would have to deal with millions upon millions of “Syrian Refugees”(TM) in our cities, while they commit crimes, rape white American women, steal, murder, destroy everything in sight.
Germany made a HUGE mistake allowing millions of “Syrian Refugees”(TM) into their country. Now they are paying for it.
RickyS says
Germany made a dangerous move, but Hillary is not as naive as Merkel.

As far as I know, the Trump administration has done nothing about the many Jihadi training camps throughout the US, Ihlan Omar is still in office in spite of her many crimes, and the list of problems with Islamic immigrants goes on and on, still largely unacknowledged. Political correctness still reigns at our peril. The only difference between the US and Europe/Germany is that the US has more room for error. Germany is in-your-face full to the brim with an invading army. And most Germans are more worried about C02!
