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

Iran issues threat over Germany’s ban of Hizballah: “The German government must face the negative consequences”

May 3, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Jihad Watch has been on this story since the news first broke in December that the German parliament had passed a resolution calling for a national ban on Hizballah activities.

Germany surprisingly followed through. The German government is not only implementing a national ban, but is raiding mosques that are tied to Hizballah. This sets a groundbreaking precedent that could see other EU states follow, and, one may hope, other Western nations as well. But since Hizballah is a powerful (and far-reaching) Iranian proxy, the Iranian mullahs aren’t pleased. Iran slammed Germany’s decision, complaining about how unjust the decision was, and of course condemned the move as serving the interests of the US and Israel.

Contrary to Iran’s expected lies about the “legitimacy” of Hizballah, Jihad Watch also reported last June that Hizballah’s “external operations group, known as Unit 910” is reported to be “even more active in Canada than they were in the United States,” and that Ali Kourani, a “member of Hezbollah’s external operations unit, the Islamic Jihad Organization….collected ‘detailed information’ about Toronto’s Pearson airport.”

There is only one reason why a member of Iran’s proxy Hezbollah’s external operations unit– the Islamic Jihad Organization–could possibly be collecting “detailed information” on Toronto Pearson’s International Airport. As stated by US prosecutors, it is with the intention to plan jihadist attacks at an unknown time at Toronto airport.

Despite the globalist-Trump apparent divide, as it turns out:

The entire U.S. embassy in Berlin has worked with the German government and the Bundestag for two years to push for this ban.

“Iran Warns Germany of ‘Consequences’ for Total Ban on Hezbollah,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, May 1, 2020:

Germany’s total ban on Lebanon’s Hezbollah terrorist organization drew a swift response Friday from Iran, with the Islamic republic saying “consequences” would follow.

As Breitbart News reported, Hezbollah was labeled a “Shiite terrorist organisation” with dozens of police and special forces storming mosques and associations across Germany linked to the terror group.

German political support followed swiftly.

Hezbollah activities “violate criminal law and the organization opposes the concept of international understanding,” German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said in announcing the move.

“Hezbollah denies Israel’s right to exist, threatens violence and terror and continues to massively upgrade its rocket arsenal,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Twitter. “We in Germany must exhaust the means of the rule of law to take action against the criminal and terrorist activities of Hezbollah.”

The German crackdown on Hezbollah means its flags are banned at all demonstrations and meetings across the country. Berlin’s municipal government already bans Hezbollah symbols and flags at demonstrations.

Germany, like most of Europe, has until now dragged its feet in outlawing both the military and political arms of the Lebanon-based group to protect relations with Beirut and Tehran.

The U.S., UK, Netherlands and Israel designates the anti-Israel group in its entirety a terror organization.

Iran’s foreign ministry rejected the ban by saying it ignores “realities in West Asia,” according to the Tehran Times.

It “strongly” condemned the decision it said showed “complete disrespect to the government and nation of Lebanon, as Hezbollah is a formal and legitimate part of the country’s government and parliament.”

Iran said Hezbollah had a “key role in fighting Daesh’s terrorism in the region,” using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

“The German government must face the negative consequences of its decision in the fight against real terrorist groups in the region,” it added….

    More hot air and empty threats. Germany is one of the world’s biggest economies – and a prosperous, free, democratic society. And Iran? A dysfunctional, backward, chaotic Hellhole. Spot the difference.

      Not just a Hellhole, a shithole as well….

    My friend was surprised to see how many Muslims were working at the Toronto Airport. Even if only a small percentage are traditional Islamists, that’s a small percentage too many. To the issue of Germany and the rest of Europe, and their Islamic pandemic- the horses have left the barn. The best they can hope for is mitigation efforts. The future generations of Europeans will curse the memory of their present day leadership. It is a ship of fools. Their shortsightedness will steer Europe onto the rocks of a new bitter reality of fascist Islam.

      Yes–Muslims have infiltrated airports all over the world, How terrifying is *that*?

        I’ve thought they are waiting…..waiting for the Caliph to officially order them to begin the jihad against the West, when the Caliphate forms.
        The Koran says that only the leader of an Islamic country can ORDER jihad and it’s obligatory on all moslems
        Or jihad can be done by any and moslems ( to help ) if a moslem country has been invaded ,
        or if the moslems in a particular non moslem country are being persecuted then all moslems can jihad to help
        And some moslems consider moslems to be persecuted in the West
        1) because we aren’t submitting to Islam,
        And 2) we aren’t allow moslems to fully practice Islam, this would entail the implementation of sharia , so of course not,
        3) the criticism and questioning of Islam in the West are blasphemy should be punished by jihad ( along with the defections of Muhammed , the desecration or burning of the Koran.
        The list goes on and on and on for all the ISLAMIC REASONS that any Moslem or group of moslems can do jihad against anything in the West …..
        (sarcasm) after all wouldnt want to do an unauthorized jihad, and get to the Islamic brothel and Satan , Errrm, Allah says “ Oh, no! That act of jihad didn’t qualify you for the premium package of the 72 virgins, pearl boy virgins, and the afterlife ticket to the “all you can eat and drink “buffet!
        So sorry! For that act of jihad you qualified for ….ummmmm, let’s see here, what page was that on Pen? oh yeah, 72 raisins! And some Zam zam water! “
        (Sarcasm off.)

    DON’T tell me that Europe is beginning to wake up! Only say, 30 years too late.
    Why would Hezbollah want rid of ISIS? To remove the competition obviously

      The good news for the civilised world is that there will never be Islamic domination of anywhere, any time, since Muslims hate each other as much as they hate us, the infidels – and have been fighting and killing each other for 1400 years. As Hezbollah is Shia and IS Sunni, their hatred for each other takes up much of their time and resources. Left to it, they would wipe each other out in time. Of course, to be safe, that civilised world needs to keep them out of its countries for good.

    • John says

      ISIS is Sunni and Hezbollah is Shiite. They have been fighting each other for more than 1300 years and are still doing so in Syria as well as Yemen.

        This matters little, since both “flavors” of Islam hate and murder Infidels.

    Hot air, as mentioned- Iran will have to destroy USA, Israel, & Germany. Good luck with that, ayatollahs!

      Well Iran does want nukes and they don’t care if they are turned to ash for that’s a magic carpet ride straight to paradise don’t cha know.

    Let’s all hope that the German government doesn’t cave in with appeasement out of fear because of the threats by those jihadist savages.

    Of course those those jihadists who make such threats would ,naturally, see appeasement as a sign of weakness of Westerners and therefore became even more demanding and likewise make more threats to further their Islamic goals.

    Germany blamed many times to Sri Lanka for human rights and democratic rights. Because German government support for sri lankan separatist terrorist group .But today same reaction for Germany from a group of Muslim terrorists. This is God’s punishment for Germany.

    It took them two years?? It took a week to declare the ‘identitarian movement’ a rightwing organisation and ban it. despite all the do is peacefully inform about the cultural threat of islam and migration. To all of those ..’why is nobody fighting back??’ You so easily can lose your job, even your kids can be taken by the German gov, if they suspect you to be rightwing. Order the wrong newspaper… In the meanwhile muslims protected by the unions collect dschizya at facilities of the car industry. Who cares? better keep your head down.

    From islam there are only negative consequences so what’s new. One thing you can count on from a muslim follower of islam they will never pray for you, they will always pray to harm you.
