Police warn of terrorism ahead of election

German police rightly believe there is a high likelihood of a terrorist attack prior to their September elections. However, in the same time, they believe that there are only a few dozen convert terrorists, and that they are "misguided". They're not misguided, they're only following the teachings of the Koran to spread Islam over the whole of humanity. This is another case of political correctness standing in the way of fending off the Muslim invasion.

The steady increase of accommodation to Muslin religious demands only fuels more demands and more violence. It's not rocket science to understand that rewarding negative behavior only encourages more of it. So why are most Western politicians bending over and grabbing their ankles in the face of the Islamic invasion?

Police warn of terrorism ahead of election

Jörg Ziercke, head Germany's BKA federal police agency for criminal investigation issued a warning on Saturday that Islamist extremists may attempt terrorist attacks ahead of the general election on September 27 in order to influence the outcome.

Ziercke told news magazine Focus: “We see clear parallels with the circumstances in Spain.” It is widely believed that the Madrid terrorist attack of March 2004 had an influence on the election in Spain, and led indirectly to the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq.

Ziercke sees radical converts to Islam based in Germany as a particular threat. “They know the German infrastructure, they are socially integrated, and we have to assume that they are prepared to do anything.” According to the BKA, a few dozen German Islamists have been trained in terrorist training camps.

“Often misguided converts are the most radical,” said Ziercke, though he warned against being suspicious of all Muslim converts.

The recently-broadcast al-Qaeda videos explicitly threatening Germany have put the government's main security departments such as the BKA, and the domestic intelligence agency the Verfassungsschutz on high alert. “The latest videos show clearly that Germany and German interests abroad are threatened,” said Verfassungsschutz president Heinz Fromm.

Fromm told the newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt the statements made by terrorist Bekkay Harrach in one of these videos strongly suggested an attack ahead of the German election.

According to statistics published in Focus, the number of Islamist-motivated crimes has risen in the past year. The BKA is currently investigating 160 cases, a significant increase on the 105 being investigated a year ago. Since September 11 2001, 61 Germans have been killed in Islamic terrorist attacks on foreign soil.
