Germany (catch all, incl. terrorism)

In einer Befragung des Meinungsforschungsinstituts YouGov sprachen sich 65,3 Prozent der Befragten fr eine Beendigung des Kampfeinsatzes vor dem vereinbarten Termin Ende 2014 aus. Nur 20,5 Prozent waren dafr, an dem innerhalb der NATO abgestimmten Zeitplan festzuhalten.

In a poll of [...] YouGov expressed 65.3 per cent of the polled for an end of the combat mission prior to the agreed date of end of 2014. Only 20.5 per cent favoured to stick to the [...] timetable.


The German government is still ruling against its own people in regard to Afghanistan, and the mass media is a passive supporter of this behaviour.

An ICSR comment on recent German law enforcement action, although described as a:

massive crackdown

There is as yet little detail on whether charges followed and what the scale of the action was:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18439914

(Added) More details on:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...n-Germany.html

It does raise the question whether such megaphone users are just vocal or the activity is part of the "conveyor belt" to violence:

This emerging network is often dismissed as harmless because of its megaphone tactics. However, every new case makes it more obvious that many of its members are linked to Al Qaeda or go on to become involved in terrorism.

Painting them as criminals and disrupting their 'business' by confiscating computers and paperworks are probably the main effects of such a crackdown.


It's notable that the state has allies in form of moderate muslims who get into uncomfortable situations because of the extremists. They, too, had one more occasion to lay out their position.

What is of note is how the primary suspect was identified:

The profiles of hundreds of violent Islamists were analyzed. In the end, a man stuck in the grid....

I'd not heard of this incident, but ICSR @ Kings College, London has provided a short commentary and asks:

The wider significance of this incident will become clear once investigators have determined whether Abdirazak had succeeded in joining a foreign terrorist group, received training, and acted on its behalf. If not, this incident might be a further example of the strategy of “lone actor” terrorism, which has been actively promoted by Al Qaeda.

What is of note is how the primary suspect was identified:

And as usual, the story shows how stupid and full of errors these errorists are.
Four Kings-like idiots.

Meanwhile, a man died in a car crash involving a bus, and about a dozen people were injured. Traffic accidents involving buses totally overpower the lethality and threat value of errorists in Germany and for Germans.

So who's going to do something about unsafe buses !?
