German media since yesterday reported that the successful counter terror operation that was just conducted would not have been possible without massively using information by American intel services that were won with those methods (considered as illegal by international standards and as inhumane) germany at the same has massively criticised in the past. So this is my most favourite schizophrenia in German foreign policy again: pointing finger at the US, but at the same time nevertheless enjoying the fruits from questionable harvesting.

The Germans arrested were converts, and on pictures they did not wear beards. It was reported that as a matter of fact they completely failed to fulfill any schemes by which the police tries to identitfy terror suspects. Police said that since some time he problem of converts has alarmed investigators more and more. Converts are under pressure to prove themselves as worthy and as truly Muslim, by their psychology they often feel urged to put any hate they feel on perceived wrongs in the world on a religious basis, namly the hate on the US and on Western values, and who converted though having been raised in Western tradition probably often is somebody who do not want an "Islam light", but the full hardcore package. Officially, 20.000 German convert per year, but unofficially it is estimated that there are AT LEAST 100.000 per year, possibly even up to 150.000. This is probably a two-contrast issue: these kinds of guys as described, on the other hand, are mostly women, who convert because they fell in love with a Muslim man and wanted to marry him. - Strange what love can make people do. I never would do that, at no cost. If the other cannot accept to live with me without me needing to join his ideology in order to accept me in return, then something is wrong from the beginning, I think. i wouldn't care nevertheless, if it wouldn't be so damn many per year.

However, the immenese number of converts has raised problems that have seriously alarmed the security services - for they cannot identify terror suspects by profiling anymore. Note that the same was said about the terrorists in London. they too did not compare with the profiles, but were fully "normal appearing" citizens.

Somebody said that the success of this operation proved that no tighter anti terror rules and methods are needed in Germany (long debate here). But that this operation would not have been possible without massive American intelligence, indicates the exact opposite. but politicians are already in fight again wether the visiting of a terror trainign camp should be under penalty, or not. So you know what to expect from our legislation.

And al Mazri - ah, don't even get me started. He is a tool, and it makes me feel like vomitting that he could manage to get so much attention again and again and again and again from parliamentaries in long conferences and debates. It's all an Islamic-political plot. He refused to become German citizen. after being rleased by the ameicans, he became German citizen all of a sudden, knowing that this would help him to attack the state. His behavior, his private clothing and his beard shows that he does not wish to integrate into German society at all, but at all costs wants to be see as different, and wants to remain separate. A shame how easily some people hostile to the state are given German nationality. Mazri was visiting Pakistani camps, and is supported and financed by german Islamic culture clubs of orthodox nature - well, it is known what these are. Mazri - that name already was far too often in headlines over here.
