Two Syrians planned attack on church in Sweden
translated from “Zwei Syrer planten Anschlag auf Kirche,”
Exxpress, May 23, 2023
Two Syrian brothers wanted to bomb a church. No details were given on the exact target of the attack. Both brothers are now in custody.
The target was an unspecified church in Sweden, where people would have been at the time of the planned crime. Investigators did not release any further details. The two Syrians, who came to Germany separately in 2015, are in custody in Hamburg.
The two men are accused of preparing a serious act of violence that endangers the state. Initially, the investigators only assumed terrorism financing and aiding and abetting a planned bomb attack, since they did not know of a specific target.
Younger brother only now arrested
Because of the planned attack with an explosive belt, the two men were arrested at the end of April, but an arrest warrant was only issued for the older of the two brothers. But now the younger one has also been arrested, as investigators found out that he was actually much more involved than initially thought. He helped his older brother with the preparations and procured materials for making the explosives.
During a house search in the apartment of the two, as well as several contacts of the brothers, the investigators found extensive evidence such as chemicals and mobile phones. The investigations are ongoing.

Qur’an 98:4-6: “Nor were the people of the book divided until after the clear proof came to them. And they are not ordered to do anything else but serve Allah, keeping religion pure for him, as hanifs, and to establish prayer and to give alms. That is true religion. Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.”
Qur’an 5:14: “And with those who say: Indeed, we are Christians, we made a covenant, but they forgot a part of what they were reminded about. Therefore we have stirred up enmity and hatred among them until the day of resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.”
Qur’an 5:17: “They indeed have disbelieved who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things.”
Qur’an 4:157: “And because of their saying, We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it seemed so to them, and indeed, those who disagree about this are in doubt about it, they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a supposition, they did not kill him for certain.
Qur’an 4:171: “O people of the book, do not exaggerate in your religion or say anything about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word that he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and do not say Three, Stop, it is better for you. Allah is only one God. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. Everything that is in the heavens and everything that is on the earth is his. And Allah is sufficient as defender.”
Qur’an 5:116: “And when Allah said, O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to mankind, Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? He said, Be glorified. It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. If I said it, then you know it. You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in your mind. Indeed, you, only you, are the knower of hidden things.”
Qur’an 19:35: “It is not fitting for Allah that he should take to himself a son. Glory be to him, when he decrees a thing, he says to it only, Be, and it is.”
Qur’an 9:30-31: “And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say, The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the statements of those who disbelieved before. May Allah curse them. How perverse they are. They have taken as lords besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah, the son of Mary, when they were called to worship only one God. There is no God except him. May he be glorified from all that they ascribe as partners.”
Qur’an 9:29: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.”

In Migrant-Haunted Germany, Plauen Is Placid No More
MAY 26, 2023 10:00 AM

Saxony is one of the states in Germany that has had the lowest number of “migrants,” a word which in Germany today refers overwhelmingly to “Muslim economic migrants.” It was former Chancellor Angela Merkel who in 2015 allowed into Germany a million of these migrants, and while in subsequent years that number has gone down, it still hovers in the range of several hundred thousand a year of both legal and illegal migrants, an unsustainable number if Germany is to remain Germany. What has happened in once-placid Plauen is reported on here:
Migrants turn German city of Plauen into no-go zone
by John Cody, Remix News, May 22, 2023:
Saxony is generally considered to have some of the lowest migrant numbers in Germany, and for years, commentators and newspapers made a point of lambasting the region’s anti-immigrant sentiment when there were few living there. Now, the mayor of Plauen is desperate as crime and violence soar in his city due to migrants dominating the city center, harassing pedestrians and committing serious crimes, including a case of attempted manslaughter.
Mayor Steffen Zenner (CDU) says there are “repeated ugly scenes of violence and physical altercations in the middle of our city center.”
He told the Bild newspaper that “the violence is mainly caused by migrants,” but emphasizes “that the majority of migrants living in Plauen abide by law and order.”…
The violence of which the Mayor complains is not “mainly” caused by Muslim migrants, but is caused almost exclusively caused by those migrants, who attack both the indigenous Germans, and other Muslim migrants as well.
The violence in Muslim communities far outstrips that in non-Muslim areas.
In the city of 65,000, locals are increasingly avoiding the city center, according to Bild. Businesses are complaining that their sales are falling due to the violence, and employees are using back exits to avoid the crowds of migrants occupying the center. Bild now describes the area as a “no-go zone” for many living and working there.
The center of Plauen has become a “No-Go Zone” for non-Muslims, who just as in certain neighborhoods of Paris, London, Marseille, Birmingham, Manchester, Brussels, Berlin, and Malmo, in Plauen now non-Muslims take physical risks by living, working, or shopping in such areas, where even firemen enter only with police protection, and the police themselves enter only in numbers sufficient to deal with Muslims who might assault them. There are now many dozens of No-Go Areas all over Western Europe, with more being created every year as the Muslim population inexorably rises.
Mayor Zenner is now calling for “upper limits on immigration, as well as European and national border security measures that are transnational and concerted.” The mayor says that 40 percent of the non-Ukrainian migrants in the city have deportation orders, but they are not being removed. Germany is well known for its lower deportation rate, even for convicted migrants. As Remix News reported in 2021, migrants with deportation orders committed 2,500 crimes in Saxony in 2020.
Germany issues deportation orders for migrants convicted of a crime, including illegal entry, but the rates of actually carrying out those orders is disturbingly low, much lower than in neighboring European countries. Fully 40% of the “non-Ukrainian migrants” – that is to say, the Muslim migrants – who have been ordered to leave the country yet remain. Perhaps the reluctance to forcibly expel them reflects self-imposed limits on the police, who are compensating for German ruthlessness during the Nazi period.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group in Saxony says the CDU (Christian Democratic Union to which Zenner belongs, is part of the problem. Saxon Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) has repeatedly failed to deal with the crisis, according to the AfD….
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is best known for its anti-immigrant stance. It has now soared to become the third largest party in the German Parliament. This popularity is a sign of the growing alarm.
This is one more legacy of Merkel’s disastrous policy of welcoming huge numbers of Muslim migrants, a policy that has continued since 2015, though with reduced numbers. In once-peaceful Plauen, the Muslims – Middle Eastern Arabs, Kurds, and North African Arabs – brawl with one another in the streets. And the Iraqi Arabs fight the Syrian Arabs. This internecine warfare among Muslims causes shutdowns in the city center, and create fear that makes people less willing to leave their houses, to go to work or to go shopping in any areas near where the fighting takes place. Businesses suffer. And beyond the economic cost, there is the cost to the indigenous Germans’ sense of societal well-being and physical security. At times they seem surrounded by Muslim migrants not only eager to waylay one another, but to also harm any non-Muslims who make the mistake of being in a “No-Go Area” or otherwise crossing their paths.
This story in the town of Plauen, in Saxony, is one of so many that every day prove the truth of the conclusion that some of us reached years ago. It can’t be repeated often enough. To wit: the large-scale presence of Muslims in Europe has led to a situation that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for the indigenous Europeans, and for other, non-Muslim immigrants, than would be the case without that large-scale presence.
Alternative for Germany Party Gains Ground Ahead of Elections
The far-right Alternative for Germany party is polling better than it has in several years. With elections approaching next year in a trio of eastern German states, the AfD is seeking to find its way even closer to the political mainstream.

The world wars, says Tino Chrupalla, head of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), were "a catastrophe" for Germany and Europe. They "divided the continent and weakened it permanently."
Chrupalla speaks of Germany’s "defeats." He doesn’t, however, speak of the millions of dead, nor does he make mention of the Holocaust.
Instead, Chrupalla says that he finds it problematic "to always link remembrance with the question of guilt." Culpability issues should be "superseded by the question of the accomplishments of every civilization." That, he says, is a process the AfD would like to initiate. "Historical guilt should no longer determine the way we act."
But it is affecting the way you act with Muslim migrants. The problem is you are sacrificing the safety and well-being of German people, and especially young women and girls, for which you will feel guilty once you wake up from your moral slumber. By then, the action required to rectify the situation will be another source of great shame.
Those who may still have been wondering where the AfD stands on the political spectrum and what to think of the party’s leader – who is fond of referring to himself as a mainstream conservative – such utterances should make it abundantly clear. The quotes come from an interview Chrupalla gave to the right-wing extremist blog "Sezession," which appeared two weeks ago – right around the time when the rest of Europe was observing Victory in Europe Day.
DER SPIEGEL 21/2023

Chrupalla’s comments are reminiscent of the rather shocking claims of his predecessor Alexander Gauland, who is today honorary chairman of the AfD. In 2018, Gauland said that Germany had a "glorious history that is much longer than 12 years." And: "Dear friends, Hitler and the Nazis are but a spot of bird shit on German history."
A very, very big spot of birdshit that still stinks.
Five years ago, Gauland’s statements triggered widespread indignation. Leading politicians from all of Germany’s democratic parties condemned his comments, the German government branded them as "shameful" and all major media outlets covered the story. There were even voices within the AfD itself demanding an apology, which Gauland then half-heartedly delivered. He regrets the impact they made, he said.
But following Chrupalla’s comments? Crickets. There were no objections worthy of note from his own party nor from other politicians – despite the fact that Chrupalla went even further than Gauland. Gauland at least mentioned the Nazis. Chrupalla, though, did not, nor did he say anything about their crimes.
