After the end of whatever small portion of this sentence he is actually required to serve, he will have been disabused of his jihadi sentiments and become a loyal, stable, productive member of German society, right? Well, it’s possible, but actually nothing will be done in prison to change his views. “Deradicalization” programs are a charade, because they’re based on the idea that the Qur’an really teaches peace when properly understood. This is false. And so this young man is likely to emerge from prison an even more dedicated jihadi than he is now.
“17-year-old Chechen planned attack on Christmas market – youth sentence,” translated from “17-jähriger Tschetschene plante Anschlag auf Weihnachtsmarkt – Jugendstrafe,” Welt, August 2, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
In the name of IS, a 17-year-old and a friend wanted to cause a bloodbath with a truck at a Christmas market in North Rhine-Westphalia. The plan was discovered. A verdict has now been passed against the young Chechen.
On Friday, the Neuruppin district court sentenced a 17-year-old from Wittstock in Brandenburg to a youth sentence of four years for a planned terrorist attack on a Christmas market in North Rhine-Westphalia. The verdict was given for conspiracy to commit murder and for “publicly using the license plate of an association affected by a ban on activities,” a court spokesman explained.
The allegations of the Attorney General’s Office were essentially confirmed in the non-public main hearing, the spokesman explained. According to him, the accused Chechen had become increasingly radicalized and had agreed with a 15-year-old accomplice, who had also been convicted, to procure a truck and use it to kill as many people as possible at the Christmas market in Leverkusen-Opladen. “The Christmas market visitors who were not killed immediately were then intended to be stabbed to death with knives,” the spokesman explained.
The younger accomplice had already been sentenced to four years’ youth imprisonment by the Cologne Regional Court weeks ago for the planned crime. Both were arrested at the end of last year. Because they were minors at the time of the crime, the trial took place behind closed doors. The verdict of the regional court in Neuruppin is not final. The defendant and the public prosecutor’s office can appeal against the verdict.

If they sent all such offenders to places where there were no Christmas markets, no churches, no synagogues and no temples of any sort, there would be fewer infidels for them to murder.

Muslims/islamic followers shout Islamophobia at the slightest insult to them. While the do violence, rape and murder in the name of Allah. Time to pull the plug and drain the islamic crud from non-muslim/islamic countries.
