Afghani Muslims Arrested in Germany for Planned Attack on Swedish Parliament: A Bid to Force Submission to Sharia

Federal prosecutors have arrested two suspected Muslim migrants in Gera, Thuringia, Germany, on suspicion of terrorism. The jihadis, aged 23 and 30 and hailing from Afghanistan, are accused of planning an armed Islamic terror attack near the Swedish parliament.

Alleged Retaliatory Attack

The alleged attack is believed to be a retaliatory response to Quran burnings that occurred in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries last summer. According to authorities, the attack was intended as a response to the Quran burnings, targeting police officers and civilians.

Under Sharia, those who insult Muhammad or Allah are to be executed. So are those who desecrate the Quran or commit other acts of blasphemy. This tradition began with Muhammad, as recorded in the Hadith and by his biographers. There is also a Quranic basis for it.

Suspected ISIS Affiliation

The suspects reportedly received directives from an affiliate of the Islamic State (ISIS) based in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are said to have made close agreements with officials of the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK), the IS branch in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Additionally, they scouted potential attack sites via the internet and made unsuccessful attempts to procure firearms.

Terror Fundraising Activities

One accused individual is said to have joined the ISPK as a member in August 2023, while the other is charged with supporting the organization. Before their arrest, both suspects collected donations totaling around 2,000 euros for IS in Germany, which investigators believe they sent to the terrorist organization through intermediaries.

ISPK is considered the most dangerous terrorist organization currently by intelligence agencies, known for sending terrorists to Europe.

Pattern of Islamic Terrorism Incidents

This arrest follows a string of similar incidents linked to Islamic terrorists. In December of the preceding year, two Syrian brothers residing in Germany were sentenced for planning to detonate an explosive belt in a Swedish church, a plot motivated by their anger the WWest would not submit to Sharia and ban Quran burnings. Another instance occurred in October, when a Tunisian Muslim, who was living illegally in Brussels, shot two Swedish football fans on the street during a qualification game, injuring two others. In a confessional video, he claimed to be acting in the name of ISIS. Police shot the man.

Additionally, the German counter-terrorism unit GSG9 dismantled a seven-member Tajik cell, aged between 20 and 46, linked to the ISPK, operating in Germany and the Netherlands during the past summer. This cell was in the advanced stages of planning a significant Islamic terrorist attack, having already conducted surveillance on potential targets. Investigations by the Federal Criminal Police Office revealed that these jihadis had entered Germany from Ukraine through Poland, masquerading as war refugees using falsified documents.

Historical Warnings About ISPK’s Threat

Clare Lopez’s warnings about ISPK, highlighted in her October 2021 interview with RAIR Foundation USA, underscore the urgent need for the West to address the group’s growing threat.

Based on the group’s history and activities in Afghanistan, Lopez emphasized ISPK’s global ambitions and its potential to exploit regional instability.

Lopez pointed out that the ideological alignment among groups like Al-Qa’eda, IS-KP, and the Taliban, despite occasional internal conflicts, presents a unified front in their commitment to establishing an Islamic state. This aligns with the recent activities of the ISPK cell in Europe, indicating a continuation of their long-term objectives. These insights from 2021 now appear prophetic, given the recent activities of ISPK cells in Europe, indicating a continuation of their long-term objectives.

The suspects detained by Gera are expected to face judicial proceedings immediately. Allegations against them include membership or support for a terrorist organization abroad, conspiracy to commit murder, and violations of the Foreign Trade Law.

Implications and Vigilance:

The uncovering of this alleged terror plot serves as a stark warning against the perils of open border policies. Such lax measures risk allowing individuals who seek to impose Sharia law and spread Islamic supremacy into our communities. It’s another clear indication that our borders must be fortified, and stringent vetting procedures must be implemented to prevent the infiltration of jihadis who pose a threat to our way of life.

Prioritizing Security

The Islamic terrorists who are attempting to launch attacks aim to punish Westerners for not submitting to Sharia and committing Islamic blasphemy. This is yet another sinister attempt by Islamic adherents to instill fear in non-Muslims and coerce them into conforming to Islamic law. Western societies must carefully consider the implications of accepting Sharia-adherent Muslims into their countries, recognizing that their goal is to replace secular laws with those dictated by Allah. It’s imperative to remain vigilant and prioritize the safety and security of our communities in the face of such threats.
