Maybe the judge wants to give them a chance to try again.
“Cologne Cathedral: Judge releases terror suspects,” translated from “Kölner Dom: Richter läßt Terrorverdächtige frei,” Junge Freiheit, January 2, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
COLOGNE. A judge released three of four men who were taken into custody for a planned attack on Cologne Cathedral on New Year’s Eve on New Year’s Day. The 25-, 30- and 38-year-old Muslims spent only one night in police custody.
The Cologne police announced this without providing the court with a reason. A total of five men are suspected of planning an attack on Germany’s largest Christian church. Four of them have Tajik or Uzbek nationality. A German-Turk was also arrested in Bochum on the last day of last year.
However, a 25-year-old Tajik, who was among those arrested on New Year’s Eve, will remain in police custody for 14 days “after a thorough examination of the case.” A 30-year-old countryman who was arrested on Christmas Eve in Wesel, 100 kilometers north of Cologne, is also expected to stay there for two weeks “to avert danger.”
Shortly before Christmas, the police received information from a foreign secret service about a planned Islamist terrorist attack on Cologne Cathedral. The security precautions at the church were then massively increased. On New Year’s Eve, a large police force protected the cathedral. (fh)

It’s obvious that cries of Islamophobia are more serious than a disire to maim, rape, and murder.

Bearkat : I couldn’t agree more , and as a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq , I wanna say that our Iraqi Christian community usually say especially older people “ if the western governments had had two” kilos” of shame and zeal , they would have kicked all Muslims out of the West and would have never taken in any Muslim . But as the the following proverb goes like “ Talk to a brick wall .

I ask again for the hundredth time…Who has to die before these barbarians are sent packing?
Huapakechi says
The better question is how many will die.

It sounds like Germany is even more finished than Britain. At least in Britain, they would have likely been prosecuted and sent to prison for a long time if they were convicted (though their prison stay probably wouldn’t have been terribly austere).
Some countries would have sought the death penalty for them, especially since nine of them were minors. And yet, all of them just get one night in a holding jail? Madness! Verruckt!
tunde says
I’ve been saying that Germany is truly the most far gone.
Mike says
(Since “none” of them were minors. Typo.)
James Lincoln says
What?
Is Germany going actually insane?

Better luck next time folks. See you later, Men.
Germany is also going insane on the ‘Climate Change’ Front. Germany goes mad periodically .,.. 1918, 1940, etc.

Leftist policies are to blame no matter the country.

What a thankless & frustrating task it must be as a counter terrorism officer, or in the security services in Germany today!
To work so hard against the many active islamist threats in the country & yet when one is foiled & the scum who were plotting the most brutal jihadi attacks are apprehended, a traitor judge releases them.
I pray that those who quietly defend our countries from these most base murderous animals don’t become discouraged & give up their good work against such ubiquitous threats.
Without their dedication, the scale of the horrors would be almost unimaginable.
For it is clear there is an enemy invasion underway of those who hate us & in the name of allah, wish to kill, murder & destroy.
Heaven help us all.
