The man with the long hair looked a little emaciated. 58 kilograms were distributed over a height of 1.72 meters. The photo of the Swiss Daniel D. showed the frustrated look of an imprisoned fighter of the terrorist militia “Islamic State” (IS). And yet, according to FOCUS Online information, interrogation specialists from the US authorities set out in the summer of 2019 to interrogate the Swissl extremist in a Syrian prison camp of Kurdish militants.Daniel D., fighting name Abu Mariyam, born 26 years ago in Geneva, was on the American list. The trained construction worker was temporarily part of the unit for IS operations abroad, the so-called “ExOPs group”. His best friend, with whom he left Switzerland five years ago, even became one of the leaders of the terrorist unit.

According to a report by the US Federal Police FBI, D. listed the members of the command level in detail, described planned operations by IS fighters who were said to have traveled to a bomb maker in Germany four years ago and then wreaked havoc in Canada. But nothing came of the project.

According to the Swiss Islamists, plans were also made to blow up oil tanks in Basel later. In December 2018, according to the informant, an eleven-strong troop set out for Turkey. According to the information, the cell wanted to infiltrate from there under the refugee status to Germany in order to blow up a subway here. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) took the statements so seriously that the authority initiated a hazard prevention process under the code name “Reuse” last year.

North Rhine-Westphalia state security interpreted the statements of the Swiss IS fighter as evidence that “the sheikhs” of the pushed back IS troops called in 2019 to strike back massively on the old continent. According to notes from the Düsseldorf Public Prosecutor’s Office, the IS command level at “sleeper cells (…) for the territorial losses suffered in Syria and Iraq (…) ordered attacks in Western Europe.”

And so the prosecutors made references to a terrorist cell of Tajik refugees who were arrested mainly in North Rhine-Westphalia at the end of April. It is about murder plans against a Neuss critic of Islam and an Albanian businessman. Two pistols were also seized. When the investigators arrested the alleged head of the group in Wuppertal in March 2019, the so-called Takim cell continued its “holy war” unimpressed.

The initially seven-member force is said to have planned attacks on the US Air Force bases Spangdahlem (Rhineland-Palatinate) and Geilenkirchen (Heinsberg district) in particular. The group is also said to have targeted sporting events.

The methods of attack reminded the Düsseldorf state protectors strikingly of those described by the Swiss IS-man Daniel D. through his ExOps troops: The special unit had tested in Syria with explosive belts and bombs of its own design, with poison attacks, chemical artillery shells and drones that were supposed to drop ammunition.

The NRW state security drew parallels to their terrorist proceedings. In the course of the investigation in this country, instructions on bombing with drones were found among the Tajik suspects in North Rhine-Westphalia. Telegram also downloaded the “Kitchen Book for Mujahideen” in order to manufacture explosive devices.

At the same time, the terror investigators gradually discovered that members of the group were inquiring about courses on paragliding or flying on the Tegernsee or in Bitburg on the Internet. The city in the Eifel is close to the US base Geilenkirchen, from which the large air space reconnaissance aircraft “Awacs”, which were also active in Syria, Iraq and Jordan, start.In March 2020, a report by a Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) liaison officer from Moscow caused additional alarm at the North Rhine Westphalian security authorities: In it she described new findings about IS attack plans. For example, the emirs of the self-appointed Caliphate Brigades “called on the assassins to carry out targeted attacks with motor vehicles, as has just happened in Berlin. Furthermore, the “holy warriors” sent out were to carry out gas explosions in specially rented apartments”. The attacks were to result in as many victims as possible.

For a long time, state security officials had ignored Tajik extremists. There were virtually no indications of Islamist activities from immigrant communities in the post-communist Central Asian state. Between 2011 and 2017, members of the terrorist cell Takim had come to Germany and applied for asylum.

At the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), they claimed to be victims of persecution by the Tajik secret service. Some openly admitted that they were radical Islamic Salafists who had been persecuted. The German authorities were not suspicious, but granted a temporary residence status.It was not until the turn of the year 2018/2019 that the NRW counter-terrorism noticed that a highly dangerous force had formed from the Tajik community. The participants talked in coded phone calls about football and the desire to become a martyr. Investigators later evaluated the conversation about Real Madrid, the royal, as a synonym for IS. In their opinion, the word “playing football” also stood for attacks.

Soon the authorities intercepted telegram chats with a fighter from Syria. The man, code name “Abu Fatima”, encouraged the Takim group to “do something” in Germany. The NRW authorities now believe to have identified the originator: It is Arsenic M. from the Caucasian republic of Dagestan. He is regarded as one of the planners of the truck attack by an IS supporter in Stockholm City, which left five dead and 14 injured in April 2017.

Little by little, the prosecutors in Düsseldorf and the state security service in Mönchengladbach uncovered a highly effective network that maintained close contacts with Caucasian terrorists in Europe far beyond North Rhine-Westphalia.

On September 11, 2019, they overheard an explosive phone call: One of the heads of the Takim unit in North Rhine-Westphalia called a combatant in Austria. The 24-year-old Chechen Magomed D. was serving a sentence in the Linz prison because he was caught trying to leave Syria and was convicted. They talked about the condition of the Amir (leader), who was also incarcerated in the Alpine republic. How Magomed D. got hold of the cell phone in prison is still unclear. Two months later, the Austrian security authorities exposed a group of Chechens who are said to have planned attacks on the Christmas market on Vienna’s Stephansplatz and in Germany. It is currently not clear whether the NRW cell was involved in such projects.

The Porsche group wanted to dismantle a paint shop in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen over the turn of the year 2019/2020. Once again one of the heads of the Takim group pulled the strings: a relative carried out the work there as a subcontractor. The terror chief organized about 60 workers to collect wages for an “imprisoned brother”. During the observation of the construction site, the terror investigators from the Rhine discovered, according to a note, “numerous Chechens from France, about whom a wide range of state security-relevant findings are available at home and abroad”.The local security forces observed the activities of the Takim cell for over a year before the federal prosecutor took over the case. When the authorities wanted to deport two Tajik jihadists to their homeland in autumn 2019, the troops got into a hectic rush. On the one hand, they sought refuge with “French brothers”, and on the other hand they had to obtain false passports through relevant channels. Ultimately, the responsible government agencies were faster. The two terrorist suspects had to leave the country and fell into the hands of Tajik security authorities.A state that changed soon. According to the investigations, the Takim cell succeeded in freeing its two accomplices through middlemen in exchange for bribes. One of them made his way back to North Rhine-Westphalia. In late April, the jihadist was arrested in Albania. After an extradition request, he arrived in Frankfurt/Main on August 3. Officials of the Düsseldorf police headquarters arrested him. Since then he has been held in custody on remand.

The Austrian authorities apprehended a Syrian refugee on Sunday for allegedly attacking the leader of the Jewish community in the city of Graz.According to a report in the mass circulation paper Kronen, police officers arrested the 26-year-old Syrian suspect in Graz. He had fled Syria six years ago; his name was not released.

The Jerusalem Post reported on Sunday that an assailant on Saturday attacked the president of the tiny Jewish community in Austria’s second largest city, with what is believed to have been a baseball bat.When Elie Rosen, head of the 150-member Jewish community, left his car, he was attacked by the stranger with a wooden stick and managed to escape back into the car. The attacker hit Rosen’s vehicle with a bat before he fled.The Graz synagogue was attacked twice over the past week. Last Wednesday, antisemitic pro-Palestinian graffiti was smeared on the building.The slogan “Free Palestine” was written on the synagogue, a phrase that typically means the elimination of the Jewish state.“In Graz, we are dealing with a stronger left wing and anti-Israel antisemitism,” he said. “We can clearly determine that.” The attack was not carried out by right-wing extremists, Rosen told the daily Wiener Zeitung.

It is unclear if the Syrian man is also being charged with defacing the synagogue.In a letter to Rosen, Shimon Samuels, director for international relations for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, wrote: “You carry a great responsibility for the phoenix character of rebirth of the Graz synagogue, burned down in the Kristallnacht Reichspogrom of 1938. Yet we find troubling the recidivist assaults on the synagogue, first the outer wall smeared with Palestinian activist slogans, next the smashing of windows, followed by this attack against you.”Samuels added that: “You have received expressions of support from political leaders across all parties in Austria. They must also take action to prevent recurrence, by timely identification, indictment and punishment of the perpetrators.”The Simon Wiesenthal Center stands in solidarity with you and your community.”

German Federal Minister of State for European Affairs Michael Roth has claimed that anti-Semitism is ‘rampant in Hungary, sparking a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.

Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó summoned Germany’s ambassador to Hungary over the remarks Roth made over the weekend in an interview, Szijjártó wrote on his Facebook page

“Because of yesterday’s remarks of German Social-Democrat state minister Michael Roth, in which he leveled accusations of anti-Semitism against Hungary, I have summoned Germany’s ambassador to Budapest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade for Monday morning,” Szijjártó wrote.

He also added that Roth’s accusations allegations were completely unfounded:

“Dear Michael! Please allow me (since we have known each other for a long time, we are in a quarrelsome relationship) to draw your attention to the fact that the Jewish community in Hungary is safe, our Jewish compatriots do not have to be afraid, their cultural festivals do not need fully armed soldiers, synagogues and cemeteries we rebuilt it with public funding and were proud hosts of the European Maccabi Games last year,” Szijjártó wrote in another Facebook post. “Respectfully, please put an end to the unworthy attack of the Hungarian people, and if I may suggest it, before you next speak on such a serious subject, please make sure that your own house is in order.”

Szijjrtó was referring to an interview with Roth published by Germany’s largest news portal, to-online.de in which the German politician was speaking about Hungary and Poland distancing themselves from democracy.

In it, Roth said “One aspect that led to the Article 7 case against Hungary was rampant anti-Semitism in Hungary. I cannot speak critically about anti-Semitism in other countries without mentioning the appalling increase in anti-Semitic crimes in Germany.”

Compared to the rest of Europe, Hungary has remarkably low rates of anti-Semitic attacks, with data from just the past several years showing that Jews are far safer in Hungary than in many other major European countries.  A report from the European Union’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) found that Hungary actually had the lowest rate of reported anti-Semitic incidents in the EU-12 countries, and also showed that reports of anti-Semitism were far lower in Hungary than in countries like France, Germany, Belgium.

Despite the German minister’s claims, anti-Semitic crimes are actually on the rise in Germany, with 1,268 recorded in 2010 compared to 2,032 in 2020.

Even German state media has pointed to an increase in anti-Semitism in the country. The country has also been accused of downplaying anti-Semitic attacks committed by Muslims. According to the Times of Israel:

In a 2016 survey of hundreds of German Jews who had experienced anti-Semitic incidents, 41 percent said the perpetrator was “someone with a Muslim extremist view” and another 16 percent said it was someone from the far left. Only 20 percent identified their aggressors as belonging to the far-right.

Earlier this year, a prominent member of Hungary’s Jewish community defended Hungary, saying Jews felt safe and that Jewish life was flourishing in Hungary despite media portrayals otherwise.

Szijjártó is currently on his first trip to China since the coronavirus outbreak and Deputy Minister Levente Magyar will meet with the German ambassador in his stead.

Once again, there is collateral damage to be lamented because the future rulers of this country are demanding their right to run free:In Dresden on Saturday evening, a 6-year-old boy was killed because two Syrians aged 31 and 23 years with their luxury cars – a BMW and a Mercedes – engaged in an illegal road race. Both cars were “at very high speed”, according to the police.On the Budapester Street in the direction of the downtown area, the horsepower Syrians roared their engines and stepped on the gas – after all, according to the old fathers’ custom among proud Arabs, it is a matter of clarifying who is the more powerful at the wheel.Negligible matters such as traffic regulations, other road users, or the lives of passers-by, especially children, have to take second place to these really important questions. These adult teenagers know that they are allowed to do whatever they want in this country – and they show it.As reported by the tabloid “Bild”, the Mercedes and the BMW chased towards the intersection with the Schweizer Street. Shortly before the junction, first the Mercedes, then the BMW overtook an uninvolved car that was “significantly slower” (meaning: moving at normal speed).In a breakneck maneuver, the Benz switched back into the right lane in a flash, and the BMW caught up with it in the left lane. Both cars were approaching a bus stop where, according to the police, three children were crossing the road from the central green belt.Two of the children made it to the sidewalk, but the six-year-old – also of Syrian nationality, by the way – was hit by the speeding Mercedes shortly before reaching the edge of the road;he was catapulted several meters through the air into the bus stop, smashed through the glass and landed on the hard pavement. With severe internal injuries, the boy was taken by the ambulance to the hospital, where he died a little later.Both driving licenses of the speeders were seized. As police reported yesterday, the Mercedes driver is under investigation “for negligent homicide and dangerous interference with traffic”. In addition, both drivers are under “investigation for a prohibited motor vehicle race”, according to the tabloid “Bild” – a criminal farce in view of the terrible results.However, if the Saxon judiciary should follow the latest jurisdiction, which classifies the killing of bystanders in car races as murder, then at least the 31-year-old speed killer faces a far harsher punishment – as recently in the so-called “Ku’damm verdict” of Berlin.In the then comparable speeding driver case from 2016, in which a 69-year-old man fell victim to a race between two testosterone Orientals, the deja vu description of the offender had read: “male, early 20s, migration background”.Whether it will come to that, is questionable. Presumably, the Greens, the Left Party and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) will lodge a protest in time against the Dresden police or against the racist judiciary – because of too hard measures against the two Syrians.It will certainly turn out to be a clear case of “Racial Profiling”.

This summer, the inhabitants of the Hérault seaside resort has experienced exceptional violence. In Palavas-les-Flots, the problem is “young people from the Parisian suburbs”.

The small town of 6 000 inhabitants definitely can’t take it anymore. Located in the Hérault, Palavas-les-Flots is facing an unprecedented wave of violence, explained regional daily Midi Libre.

Traders have to fight “young people from the Parisian suburbs”. The daily even speaks of an “overheated atmosphere” on Friday August 21 at the seaside resort. Finally, after one of these brawls, which the police struggled to put an end to, a police officer was allegedly beaten. The town has become the symbol of a summer filled with immigrant youth delinquency.

A fight indeed broke out in the shop of a shopkeeper, Margot, taken to task by a Muslim family from Marseille, before her stepfather, a municipal police officer, intervened. “They were asked to pay attention to the clothes. The tone rose. Then we told them about masks which are compulsory in public. […] When I said I was going to call the police, things got out of hand. They broke everything. They beat up my grandmother who is 70 years old,” said the shopkeeper. Margot has sustained head injuries is now forced to wear a neck brace while her stepfather had his nose and elbow broken.

Margot described the atmosphere: “People were saying, ‘there’s a policeman on the ground, we’re going to kill him. We have to go lynch him’.”

Small business owners decided to demonstrate once again in the streets, as well as in front of the police station of Palavas-les-Flots, in order to denounce what they call an “abandonment” by the authorities. In the evening, the same group organised a “dead city” operation. Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin denounced the “unacceptable violence”.

On August 7, France Bleu reported the words of Christian Jeanjean, mayor of the city of Hérault: “Young people come to let off steam.” But his comment only ignited more anger.

Some 300 angry residents had previously demonstrated in front of the municipal police building to express their concern at the rising incivility, rodeos of cars and motorcycles in the streets at night, loud music on the beach and waste thrown anywhere.

They marched “against the delinquency and insecurity” as a result of visiting Muslim immigrant youths.
