They were warned, but they didn’t listen.
Now, authorities in Germany say that almost 500 Islamic extremists have infiltrated their country. They believe the Islamic jihadists, many of them Syrian refugees, pose a serious security threat to the West.
On Friday, authorities arrested three men suspected of planning to carry out a deadly terrorist attack in the country for the Islamic State group.
The men — identified only as Syrian citizens Hamza C., 27; Mahood B., 25; and Abd Arahman A. K., 31 — were arrested in three separate locations across Germany following a tip from a fourth suspect who gave himself into French authorities earlier this year.
While Germany hasn’t suffered mass-casualty attacks by Islamic extremists of the type seen in France and Belgium over recent months, authorities say the country is a target and the risk of attacks is high — and U.S. officials are concerned extremists could also be trying to make their way into our country.
All three of those arrested in Germany were living in refugee shelters, adding to concerns that ISIS might be sending fighters to the United States disguised as asylum-seekers. Almost 1.1 million people were registered as asylum-seekers in Germany last year.
Federal prosecutors say the men who were arrested intended to carry out an attack in the western city of Duesseldorf.
German weekly Der Spiegel reported Friday that the plot was to involve a total of 10 attackers, of whom two were to detonate suicide vests. The magazine didn’t provide a source for that information, which it said French authorities received from Saleh A., a 25-year-old Syrian in custody in France. None of the suspects’ surnames were given due to German privacy rules.
Overall in Germany, Justice Ministry spokesman Philip Scholz said federal prosecutors are currently conducting nearly 120 investigations involving over 180 suspects in connection with terrorism offences.

Say it ain’t so….this is the supposed to be the religion of peace..
Merkel allowed these haters into her nation and other parts of Europe.. Merkel if following the German tradition of trying to destroy Europe.
so is obama doingthe same to the united states
And Trudeau is doing the same in Canada.
Religion of peace, it is not and never was.
Let’s give ALL of these mf’er’s what they deserve, BEHEADINGS in public view! Let’s do maybe 500,00 as a starter, then continue on with ANYONE who believes Islam is a Religion of Peace. Even maybe dump them in nitric acid baths like they are doing right now to non-Muslim people in Syria and Iraq Ck
Wow, appears the “Donald” may have been spot with his comments on the Syrian refugee’s, but then we all know our all knowing Coward-in-Chief knows best.
What a joke we’ve become under his B.S presidency – this clown has got to be impeached.
John—I have said it a hundred time that if Obama was impeached, he would scream racism and discrimination, because that is how he is.
let him scream…. i would rather be safe that care about his racism…
Cap’n Kirk-
D’OweBama should NEVER be impeached. He should just be arrested, tried, and convicted of Treason.
Only LEGITIMATE officholders can be impeached, so to impeach D’OweBama would be to acknowledge that he held of office of president lawfully – which he did not and never has. One must be born of TWO US citizens in order to qualify for “natural born” status.
How about charged with and found guilty of treason. Stupid and blind he’s not! He knew the risk, even if his actions weren’t deliberate. Prison is too good for him.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE ISIS IS SENDING THEM TO U.S.!!!! THEY HATE US MORE THAN ANYONE IN EUROPE.. AND IF INNOCENT AMERICANS GET KILLED BY THESE S.O.B.’S THEN OBAMA SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR MURDER AND PUT IN GUANTANAMO WHERE HE BELONGS WITH HIS FELLOW MUSLIM SCUM.
Leonard–And i bet everyone of them had background checks or as they say vetted, Our government is a joke, just for letting them in this country. I wouldn’t put it past Obama to implement Sharia Law before he leaves office.
Why do we continue to post such ignorant statements?
SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY SUCH THING AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH – YOU IDIOT AND IGNORANT.
to PattieA…
You got my first Laugh .. and another epitaph.. Moron could go on your list 🙂
Ok, Mr. President, how about addressing this and pay some attention to this….now, these are real issues and concerns.
PLEASE DON’T BOTHER OBUMDO WITH THIS PETTY ISSUES – HE WILL BE PHOKING BUSY PLAYING GOLF.
OK, Mr. President…how about paying attention to this and address this….now, these are real issues and concerns!
These people are insane not extremists remember the lady who cut the kids head off and ran through the street yelling Allah Akbar the court said she was insane so these bombers are no different they don’t know what they are doing. It not in the name of religion it because the insane people hates everyone who is not insane.
Right here in Mn we have 3 men that are awaiting the verdict of the jury to see if they will go to prison. They are accused of plotting against cities right here in the U.S.
Tis is what happens when the fox is allowed into the hen house.
the fox is much too noble a beast these r Asian rats a big hairy long tooth breed. well known 2 attack humans. when i was stationed in Asia we would have 2 shoot them, only way 2 keep them off you.
Hillary supports Barack Obama’s plan to bring thousands of these refugees to America. While many of the refugees are probably seeking nothing more than a peaceful place to live and raise their family, it’s possible that a significant number of terrorists will come in with the group. Once in America they will be able to bring death and destruction on law abiding American citizens.
Americans have been warned by DHS not to travel to Europe now. I won’t. When Europe’s travel industry tanks (and it is hurting now) perhaps the impact on each county’s bottom line will wake them up and cause them to make changes.
What one sows one reaps; play with fire and you’re sure to get burnt! Oh when will we learn?!
All this could have been avoided if we took time to study Islam, engage the Muslims, and neutralize Islam. It takes two to play ball. You cannot play with someone who wants to destroy you. When in Rome we do what Rome does. Muslims cannot come to any part of the the world and feel that they must take over and impose or implant their Islamic principles in the other nations’ governing. If Muslims want a Muslim country then they must return home. It is as simple as that!
makes sense 2 me!
Why are we welcoming them here with open arms? How am supposed to coexist with folks who want to kill me?
This is the exact scenario the Donald put out there….back in Dec. No, but he was a racist, bigot, hypocrit, crazy, and what else for saying NO refugees. Pretty much every country in Europe denounced him and his rhetoric. And there has been nothing but problems with terrorism in Europe since this influx of ‘refugees’. Yet Obama has been sneaking them in,,,,,and Ms. Hillary approves. Donald Trump was spot on with his assessment of the situation. And you can bet these same faux refugee, extremists are here on American soil waiting for their ‘turn’ to bring death and destruction. I’m with the Donald…..close ALL borders. Do a proper vetting of individuals. Oh and then maybe Dept. of Homeland Security can try and locate the 530K expired visa holders from 2014-2015 that have gone missing! How lame is that!! More shame and incompetence…..seems to be plenty to go around. Come on November election!! TRUMP 2016
Can you imagine if this would have happened if HITLER were still alive? He sure as hell would have them burned. HE WOULDN’T LET THEM INTO HIS COUNTRY
better check your history,the nazis had close relations with islamic leaders during & after ww2. i believe the the big mucky – muck is called the grand mufti.
I think the kids in second grade knew this.
If the terrorists are here, hope they start at the top, and go directly to Obama’s house! Why bother with the rest of us peons?
You allowed your stupid Gov. to go against your wishes by saying No in the first place. Now it is time to take your country back and deport everyone that is a threat to your way of living. Blame the UN for making your country take these refugees into your country.
It is about sowing and reaping.
Never think politicians don’t know what they are doing. Practically all politicians are anti people. They are great pretenders serving the Prince of the Power of the Air. Apocalypse beacons!
Annie get your gun, laugh if you want too but people that have Muslims in their community had better have a way of defending their family and themselves, not all Muslims are going to be violent, but with the proven influx of violent infiltration in the European countries we are going to have our share, the majority of the people in Europe do not own firearms they are illegal therefore they have no way of defending their families. We in America do have the right to own firearms and we are not afraid to use them when someone attacks our person or home so as I said before get your gun and don’t leave home without it
