If any of these plots had succeeded, they would have been blamed on “Islamophobes” and “far-right extremists” until Muharrem D. was caught. After that, and likely now, they will be used to demonstrate that the Islamic State is not Islamic, because if it were, its adherents wouldn’t attack Muslims. But in reality, ISIS supporters attack other Muslims because they believe them to be renegades for rejecting the authority of the Islamic State: “They wish that you would disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that you may be on the same level. So do not choose friends from them until they leave their homes in the way of Allah, if they turn back, then take them and kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 4:89). By leaving their homes in the way of Allah, these people became Muslim, but then they turned back, and hence must be killed. On that basis do plots of this kind proceed.
“‘Sustainable hatred’ Muharrem D. planned attack in Cologne – further details known,” translated from “„Nachhaltigen Hass“ Muharrem D. plante Anschlag in Köln – weitere Details bekannt,” Express.de, December 21, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):
The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has brought charges against Muharrem D., who was arrested in May and charged with a serious arson attack on a Turkish grocery store in Waldkraiburg, Upper Bavaria, among other things.
The prosecution announced this on Monday in Karlsruhe. She accuses the 25-year-old of, among other things, serious arson, multiple attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.
Muharrem D. also planned an attack on the Cologne mosque
D. is the son of parents of Turkish origin. He was arrested on May 8 and is said to have planned far more serious bomb attacks on the Ditib Central Mosque in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and on the Turkish Consulate General in Munich.
For the attack on the Cologne mosque, he wanted to use a bomb with high explosive power. The investigators said that he had not yet started building this bomb.
Since 2017, D. has been going through a process of religious radicalization
According to the indictment, D. went through a process of religious radicalization since 2017 and became a supporter of an Islamist-jihadist worldview as well as the jihadist militia Islamic State (IS). Because of Turkey’s position in the Syrian conflict and the way it dealt with certain preachers in Turkey, he said he developed “a lasting hatred of the Turkish state and people of Turkish descent”.
Therefore, he made the decision to attack people of Turkish origin. For this purpose he had obtained a semi-automatic pistol as well as the material for pipe bombs and explosives. He used it to produce over 45 kilograms of explosives, plus 23 pipe bombs, which, however, lacked the detonators.
Attack on the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Waldkraiburg failed because the door was locked
Attempts to join IS were unsuccessful. An attempted attack on the Sultan Ahmet mosque in Waldkraiburg failed because the door was locked; D. then refrained from the other originally planned attacks on the Ditib mosque.
Instead, he carried out attacks with a foul-smelling liquid based on butyric acid, first on a hairdressing salon and a pizzeria, and later on a Turkish restaurant.
A fire in a Turkish shop in Waldkraiburg (Bavaria) caused great damage. The incident occurred in May 2020.
On April 27, 2020, D. gained access to a fruit and vegetable shop in Waldkraiburg, where he set off an incendiary device made from gas cartridges, so that the sales room caught fire.
According to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, he accepted the death of the 26 residents present. Just because they noticed the fire in time, there were no deaths. But four residents suffered smoke poisoning.
A house search found 23 pipe bombs and 23 kilograms of flash bang kit
During his arrest on May 8, 2020 and a subsequent house search, 23 pipe bombs, 23 kilograms of flash bang kit and several kilograms of explosive material were confiscated. The Federal Prosecutor’s office brought its charges before the State Security Senate of the Munich Higher Regional Court. (mt, afp)

Valkyrie, your idea that we should allow Muslims to slaughter their adversaries with impunity in our own civilized lands is mistaken.
Do you *really* think that such emboldened Jihadists are only going to target their coreligiionists?
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Same thing is happening in Pakistan where the majority Muslim sect is attacking the minority Muslim sect in a shark-like frenzy.
Beware the Muslim who smells blood or senses weakness.

This is why I say don’t allow Muslim immigration with the naive thought that most will be nice moderates and so it will be OK, The militant Muslims will always intimidate the moderates, they will decide the the kind of jihad that goes forward. There is no upside to Muslim immigration and no good reason not to end it.

Hi. As British Moslem population goes up. and it is going up in a hurry, anyone would know that this cat and mouse game(you figure who is The CAT and who are the mice. is going to become more deadly in terms of numbers as the moslem population increases. Hard to believe how European governments who are many Highly educated people can choose this end for their CITIZENS. Won,t it be Wonderful when Jesus, The Real Law Giver and Enforcer comes and cleans up the mess created by Mankind. Even So. Come LORD JESUS.
James Lincoln says
Some very “devout” muslim, somewhere, will want to slaughter Muharrem D for his failed jihad attack.
After all, his failure must’ve been because he was not “islamic” enough – not enough “faith” in allah, etc…
