This is what Angela Merkel has wrought: “Germany’s security services estimate there are around 10,300 radical Islamists in the country, compared to some 3,800 in 2011.”

“About 700 of them are considered dangerous and capable of a violent attack.”

That is almost certainly a drastically inaccurate low estimate.

“Nicknamed ‘the faceless preacher’ for showing his back to the camera in propaganda videos, the 33-year-old Iraqi was arrested last November on suspicion of being the ‘central figure’ in an IS recruitment ring.”

Why is this Iraqi in Germany at all? How did he get in, and under what circumstances? Would preventing his entry or deporting him have been “Islamophobic”?

“Walaa, who has two wives…”

Is polygamy legal in Germany now? Or would prosecuting him for that also be “Islamophobic”?

“Much of the prosecution’s case rests on evidence collected by an unidentified informant who infiltrated the network for months. But the key witness is not expected to testify at the trial after Walaa urged his followers to kill the mole.”

Welcome to Angela Merkel’s Germany.
