German Jihadis

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

Old Europe comes through again with a major arrest of some wannabe tangos.

BERLIN - Three suspected Islamic terrorists from an al-Qaida-influenced group nursing "profound hatred of U.S. citizens" were arrested on suspicious of plotting imminent, massive bomb attacks on U.S. facilities in Germany, prosecutors said Wednesday.

German Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said the three, two of whom were German converts to Islam, had trained at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, a group based in Central Asia. They had obtained some 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives.

Now I only call them wannabes because they didn't actually manage to blow anything up or kill any children.  One thing about the Germans is they will do a little profiling, although this case had a couple of German converts to the Religion of Peroxide Bombs. It gets a little scarier when the jihadis manage to delude westerners into joining their hateful cult, but young fools have often been attracted to the latest hip cult of death. Baader-Meinhof anyone?

I think there is really no question that our actions in Iraq have generated ill will toward us and helped recruit foreign fighters to go to Iraq and die. But keep that in mind, that's what they do when they get there, and I know that the whole 72 goats thing is supposed to be a big draw, but the number of fools willing to vaporize themselves is not large and they have had top resort to chaining some of these "volunteers" to the wheel to ensure they would do the job.

America-hating is a long popular pastime around the world, but we need to focus on any of these folks who decide to take action. I haven't seen any indications that there has been an overall increase in terrorist acts around the world, outside of Iraq. In Iraq we have had the privilege to return thousands of America-hating fanatics back to room temp, and none of them are back home now bragging to their buddies about how coll it is to go Crusader hunting along the banks of the banks of the Euphrates.

Now the long term solution to the jihadism that has infected world-wide Islam is societal and cultural not military. It's still a net good think every time we whack a tango, that type of religious nuttahdom is impossible to deal with directly. But we need to have a much better plan for dealing with the countries that incubate this anti-western animus. And I know Sarkozy has already figured out that his immigrant "youths" are the advance troops of a Caliphate redux in the bastions of Old Europe. This ought to remind the Germans and everyone else.

It's not freakin' Iraq, it's them. Anyone who believes I have to do what they think their God wants. Well since this time around it's the Allah-heads losing their minds let's stomp a mudhole out of anywhere that nurtures them. And let's get busy with all their enablers like the Saudis, funding jihadi training madrassas around the world and acting like barbarians at home. Military force is a vital weapon in our anti-Islamist arsenal, but we need to stop the spread of Islam and it's anti-civilized customs and culture. The simple but total oppression of women alone would justify a liberation operation, but we need to shine a bright light on all the lovely rituals and sick acts they do in the name of GOD.

An honest look would show that they act in the name of weak and feckless men, left behind by the rest of the planet.
