Germany: Syrian Refugee Arrested in Berlin for Planning Terror Attack

In 2015, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in response to the Syrian civil war, opened the floodgates to her country to Syrian "refugees", predominantly unaccompanied single men in their 20s. Today, there are an estimated 1 million Syrians in Germany alone. Merkel also took the lead in persuading other EU countries to admit refugees. Her now widely mocked statement at the time was, "Wir schaffen dass" (We can do this). However, the results in terms of crime, terrorism, rapes, murders, social division, and social welfare costs have been catastrophic.

"Wir schaffen dass"

This week, German police in Berlin arrested a 22-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker identified only as  Abdallah R., after he was found stockpiling explosive devices and calling for the murder of non-Muslims on social media.

Berlin-Neukölln: Interesting details about the Syrian terrorist, Abdallah R.

By Manfred Rouhs- The Berlin State Criminal Police consider the arrest of the 22-year-old Syrian terror suspect, Abdallah R., as an important investigative success. Indeed, the seized material for explosive devices suggests that the terror suspect could have caused heavy damage had the police not been on his trail. The case, however, sheds light on the state of the German asylum system as well. 

Since September 2023, the Syrian had enjoyed subsidized protection in Germany. That means he was not entitled to asylum, but nevertheless was not deported for the purpose of protecting him from harm in his country of origin. All these facts were based on his own statements, and he apparently handled this quite well and was also probably well advised. Neither his jihadist beliefs nor his intentions in Germany came out in the asylum proceedings.

The investigators only became aware of Abdallah R. because he was disseminating so-called "Nashids" of the Islamic State on social media, as the Morgenpost reports. Those are religious battle songs, in which the murder of "unbelievers" is called for. After that, he was placed under surveillance and was found to be stockpiling explosive materials in 3 different Berlin apartments, the rent of which was paid by German taxpayers. That led to the raid.

How many of these types are still living in Germany? How do we deal with them if they themselves don't show their beliefs through online postings, but rather remain inconspicuous?

Christmas is approaching, and with it, possibly, the next series of attacks. That is not a good advertisement for strolling through pedestrian zones and through Christmas markets. It is frightening that we cannot get rid of Abdallah R.'s brothers in spirit quickly enough to restore safe conditions in Germany.
