Number of Islamists in Germany Reaches Record High, says Intel Report
Report links mass migration to growing Islamic radicalization and violent antisemitism
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, or BfV, has reported a significant rise in the number of Islamist extremists living in the country. Officially classified as Salafists, or radicalized Sunni Muslims, their numbers have reached a new all-time high according to the agency’s annual report issued on Tuesday.
The number of Islamists in the country has doubled in the past five years, crossing 10,800 individuals. This significant growth in the Islamist scene can be attributed to more than a million Arab and Muslim migrants taken in by the country since Chancellor Angela Merkel opened borders in the autumn of 2015.
According to the report, intelligence agencies are finding it increasingly hard to monitor and infiltrate Islamic groups as they increasingly revert to closed private circles and internet.
The 359-page intelligence report reviewed by Legal Insurrection links mass migration to Islamic terrorism and violent antisemitism, describing the trend as a “serious challenge to the free and tolerant coexistence” in Germany:
The number of Salafists in Germany has once again risen by 1000 persons in 2017, taking their total to 10,800; thus making Salafists the strongest Islamist group in terms of manpower. (…)
The basic acceptance of violence is an intrinsic part of the Salafist ideology. The recent analysis of terror attack in German and Europe shows that a Salafist radicalization often leads to acts of jihad. (…)
Antisemitism is a fundamental component of this ideology across the Islamist spectrum. Religious, territorial or national-political motives blend together in an antisemitic worldview that basically projects a “worldwide Jewish conspiracy. The Jews are seen as the masterminds of a global plot and collectively blamed for various ills and grievances. (…)
Antisemitic incidents linked to Islamism reviewed by the BfV point towards the fact that antisemitism incited by Islamist organizations pose a serious challenge to the free and tolerant coexistence in Germany. This is especially valid in the case of numerous migrants who have entered Germany. [Verfassungsschutzbericht 2017; emphasis added; translation by the author]
In related news, a district court in Germany has told authorities to allow the terror suspect and former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden to return to the country, as he ‘could face torture or abuse’ in his native country of Tunisia. The former Al Qaeda operative was recently deported back to Tunisia after drawing €320,000 in welfare payments over the course of several years.
The German intelligence report also showed an increase in left-wing violence. Leftist extremists committed 1648 violent crimes in 2017, a year-on-year rise of 37 percent. A majority of these violent acts were directed at the police–a total of 1135 incidents including bodily harm, arson, and terrorism.
During the same period the right-wing violence went down by 35 percent, with 1054 reported acts of violence compared to 1600 in the previous year.
The official figures on right-wing crimes must, however, be treated with caution. There have been reports in the past that German authorities have been registering Islamist crimes as right-wing ones. According to a September 2017 report published in the Jerusalem Post, German Interior Ministry has been classifying antisemitic crimes committed by Islamic groups, such as the terrorist-outfit Hezbollah, as ‘far-right’ violence.
Germany is home to 950 members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist militia, as well as 320 belonging to Hamas, a Muslim Brotherhood-linked Palestinian terrorist group.
The intelligence report did not specify the number of ISIS or Al Qaeda members in the country, citing unavailability of reliable data. But in its newsletter issued earlier this week, the agency raised serious concerns over the return of large numbers of women and children belonging to ISIS fighters of German origin to the country. Merkel government had negotiated a deal with the Iraqi government and Kurdish authorities to bring back ISIS family members on account of ‘humanitarian considerations’ and ‘Germany’s duty to protect its citizens.’ This policy will result in “growing number of radicalized minors in the coming years,’ the newsletter of the German domestic spy agency predicted.
Merkel’s open door policy towards migrants from Arab and Muslim countries is a gift that never stops giving. Despite one damning intelligence report after another, the German government has failed to make the obvious connection between mass migration from Muslim-majority countries and the growing threat of radical Islam.

While we have German Intel on the line, I’d like to ask if they see any correlation between my wet street and those storm clouds that rumbled through. It’s a mystery.
These Salafists will not be removed quietly. They do need to be removed though. Step one, remove Angela Merkel.
Islamists of any strip need to be treated like contagious vehicles of plague,isolated,eradicated.
Germany does have a way, though, of coming up with “solutions.”
The classification “far right” in Europe means even less than it does in the US. Fascism, and German fascism, developed out of communism/socialism, becoming an authoritarian nationalism infected, in Germany, with Hitler’s insane racial focus and the related Jew-hating. Neither here nor there does this have anything to do with “conservative” economics, which is nearly non-existent in Germany anyhow.
Calling Islamist crimes “far right” means closing one’s eyes to the reality of the Jew-hating which is part and parcel of strict Islamism. Germany, in an effort to purge itself of its twentieth-century sins, has lost its mind, and may lose itself.
I really don’t want understand the Marxist alliance with radical Islam. Do they think they can ride that beast?
The Soviets kept their Stan territories in check with the Iron Fist of the Authoritarian State. So it follows that the Left intends to go down that path again. That must be the Left’s long-term goal, else why risk crossing the stream on the scorpion’s back?
Edit – I don’t understand the Left’s alliance.
Delete “want”, stupid smart phone now inserting random words. No wonder the bot driver experiments failed so spectacularly.

Yes, I believe they think they can ride the beast to destroy the existing system, and then put the beast down. I think they seriously misunderstand the beast. Being marxists, they think all people react to economic stimuli only. Islamists don’t operate that way.
” I think they seriously misunderstand the beast. “
Word up. The Islamist will end up using the Marxist. I would guess an Islamic “victory”. They will be left with the crumbs of the world they destroy.
The problem for the Marxists is that they simply can’t comprehend anyone believing that Allah and eternity in heaven/hell crap. So godless Marxists like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, et all think it comes down to materialism. Who promises the best child care, education, health care, etc.
It’s part of why the fact that the Mullahs having their men (don’t you know that if a woman, donkey, or dog walks in front of you it invalidates your prayers) chant “Death to America” wasn’t even a speed bump on the road to giving the Mullahs everything they want for nothing in return.
It’s precisely because everything else about Islam matches up with Marxism that they refuse to entertain the notion that the parts that don’t align with godless communism matters at all to them. They think they see eye-to-eye.
For instance, terrorism. Both internal and external. Both Islam and Marx took it for granted that the terrorism is the means by which the rule. Lenin took it for granted that a period of “revolutionary terror” would be necessary to establish communist control of a country. In fact, that period never ends. Have you taken a good look at the Gulag system in the DPRK. Or, for that matter, Mao’s PRC, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, or the Castros’ Cuba.
Islam is more up front. Islam professes that it is only the sword that makes people good. So right out of the gate Islam declares itself a terror state. Which was one of the reasons why Obama’s protestations that the Islamic State couldn’t be Islamic because the main victims of Daesh were Muslims. Duh, HELLO! That’s the the whole point behind the Hudud (divinely required) punishments that call for beheadings, crucifixions, stonings, maimings, etc.
I haven’t exhausted all of the similarities. Suffice to say that when a Marxist like Obama looks at Iran, they see the Mullahs doing to their people what they would do to us. And such sane, rational beings couldn’t possibly be serious about the metaphysical nonsense, could they?
As immutable and as predictable as any law of physics.
It’s almost as if the German dirt simply isn’t magical enough. Surely simply moving to Germany receiving all those benefits isn’t enough to make them real Germans.
I am perplexed.
Yes, it’s almost like we have to station a force to make sure they don’t backslide.
Officially classified as Salafists, or radicalized Sunni Muslims, their numbers have reached a new all-time high
On the plus side, Sunnis aren’t likely to be Iranian agents.
Unless the “official classification” is bogus … as so many things “official” are.
You mean like Hamas?
You know, the Sunnis in Gaza who are the Iranians eager clients. I can document so many cases of how the Sunnis and Shiites HAVE worked together when our know-it-all pols preached it was unpossible for such a thing to happen.
If you are going to understand the middle east, there are two old sayings you need to know.
1. Me against my brother. Me and my brother against my cousin. Family against the stranger.
2. It’s the lion that keeps the wolves away.
We wouldn’t even f***ing have a problem with Libya if the fools in the Obama administration didn’t go around the middle east deposing the lions and generally vomiting gasoline on the fires they started. Arab spring my @##.
I thought it was illegal in Angela Merkel’s Germania for anyone to count Islamists which don’t exist and are only the product of the unhinged fantasies of Reich-winger Islamophobic loons with over-active imaginations.
And what the f*** is an Islamist. I keep getting lectured by people who ought to know, such as Recip Erdogan or the Ayatollah Khameini, there is no such thing. There is only one Islam. You are either a Muslim who accepts the entire Quran and the ahadith of Muhammad without question, or you’re not a Muslim at all. And then along come Imams Obama, Kerry, Blair, Cameron, May, Macron, Francis, et al, telling me there are all kinds of different flavors of Muslims, and they’re all delicious except the Salafist kind.
