What could possibly go wrong?
“Convicted terrorist sentenced to probation in Germany,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, December 20, 2023:
A Syrian national convicted of aiding and abetting his Islamist terrorist brother in his plans to blow up a Swedish church has been handed a year’s probation by a German court because he had expressed a desire to integrate into Western society.
The two brothers, both of whom arrived in Germany back in 2015, were arrested on April 25 this year after counter-terrorism police received intelligence about the older brother’s attempts to purchase bomb-making equipment.
After seizing the cell phone and other digital equipment in possession of 29-year-old Anas K., authorities learned he had been liaising with an individual via an end-to-end encryption messaging app regarding how to “take revenge on anyone who insults our faith,” and had chosen the “crusading country of Sweden” as his primary target, according to Die Welt newspaper.
The unknown man was named “Emir” and was reportedly a member of the Al-Saqri Institute for War Studies, a group closely affiliated with Islamic State.
The chat history between the pair revealed how a church in Sweden had been targeted for the attack after the high-profile public burning of a Quran earlier this year had outraged Anas K. He planned to detonate one explosion at an unspecified church and keep another bomb in reserve to be detonated upon the arrival of the emergency services and helpers.
Investigators have concluded that both brothers intended to build a suicide vest and carry out an act of terror on an unspecified Christian place of worship
The Hamburg Higher Regional Court heard at trial how Anas K. had sought to make a suicide belt and had attempted to purchase two kilos of urea fertilizer which can be turned into urea nitrate, a key component for making a bomb.
When delivery of the ingredients was unsuccessful, he called upon his younger brother, 24-year-old Ahmad K. to purchase the goods….
However, the younger brother received one year’s probation with the sentencing judge granting him leniency due to the fact that “the defendant has shown with his school qualifications and his lifestyle that he wants to integrate.”
He cited Ahmad K.’s graduation from secondary school, his desire to work as a biology laboratory technician, and the fact he had found himself a German girlfriend as evidence of his commitment to Western society, and insisted the defendant did not possess a jihadist-Islamist worldview.

One does not know whether to laugh or cry and are Swedish girls really so stupid? Maybe that is why they get r”ped so frequently.
bill says
Sorry should have said German girls, do they not read the news papers? but it still applies

Pathetically soft decision by the legal system. Very few people, only Muslims would even consider such behaviour, would think about blowing up a church. This behaviour is a million miles away from integrating peacefully into a civilised, western society. This Muslim piece of shit should have received a significant jail sentence and then he should be deported to some barbaric Muslim country where he will integrate perfectly with the other Muslim knuckle draggers.

Wasn’t there also recently a case in which 8 young males who had brutally gang raped and robbed a 15 year old German girl in 2020 were only given suspended sentences because they were both minors and Muslims? There was a 9th one who was a young adult, who only got under 2 years in prison, I understand? What has the German justice system come to?

Sweden is lost !!!

And, there was recently a case in which 8 young Muslim males who had gang-raped a 15-year-old German girl a few years ago were given suspended sentences; a 9th one (who was a young adult at the time) was given under three years in jail, I believe. The German justice system is in egregious shape methinks.

They actually believed him? Talk about cutting your own throat, a proven terrorist? This bloke should set up a business teaching people to act, or did he somehow hypnotize the court? Or was there a financial element or even (more likely, violent threats from the religion of peace).
