New in PJ Media:
Prosecutors in Germany have just revealed that on Oct. 7, 2025, the second anniversary of its murder of 1,200 people in a series of jihad attacks in Israel, the jihad terror group Hamas planned a new round of jihad attacks against Jewish targets in Berlin and Vienna. If these plots had come to fruition, this would have been one of the few times that Palestinian jihadis struck in Europe since the 1972 jihad massacre at the Munich Olympic Games. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the foiled European plots, however, was that one of the jihadis turned out to be a confidential informant for Germany’s domestic intelligence agency.
Could it be that not all of the “moderate” Muslims in which so many non-Muslim Westerners place so much hope and trust are not actually as “moderate” as they appear? Why, yes, of course it could.
Politico reported on September 11 that “the attacks were to take place simultaneously or in close succession around Oct. 7, 2025, targeting Israeli and Jewish interests in the two European capitals.” This was a sophisticated and elaborate plot that was clearly the product of careful planning: “The plot was supported by an international weapons-procurement network that moved pistols, an automatic rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition through Denmark, Germany and Austria.”
The attacks in Berlin and Vienna “were to be coordinated,” and “the principal targets included Israeli diplomats, Jewish community centers and pro-Israel demonstrations.” There were seven men involved in this plot, and the most interesting fact of all is that “one of the accused was working as a confidential informant for Germany’s domestic intelligence agency. The files show that the informant continued reporting to his intelligence handler while allegedly failing to disclose the full extent of his own involvement in obtaining ammunition for the group.”
His colleagues at the domestic intelligence agency likely assumed that he was “moderate.” Nobody would have dared to question him too closely, however. That would have been “Islamophobic.” And they all probably hated Israel also, as good leftists, and so he fit right in. Nevertheless, the fact that one of these jihad plotters was a man whom German intelligence agents evidently trusted demonstrates anew the hazards of assuming that all Muslims are “moderate” until they strap on a bomb and scream “Allahu akbar.”
The whole idea of “moderate Muslims” is based on an interlocking series of false assumptions. Non-Muslims see some Muslims committing jihad terror attacks, while other Muslims in the West hold down jobs and are respected members of the community. They assume from those experiences that those peaceful Muslims reject and abhor jihad violence, and find jihad terror attacks as horrifying as non-Muslims do.
There is more. Read the rest here.
