Unveiling the Peril of Caucasus Islamists in Germany
Meet Rasul M., an Islamist and felon who graced German soil in 2014. His transgressions in the land of bratwurst and beer span from robbery to drug dealing, but that's not all. The public prosecutor's office in Cottbus has accused him of distributing ISIS propaganda videos, which led to charges filed against him on September 18. A court date, however, remains unannounced.
As a devout follower of Islam, Rasul M. delights in referring to himself as a "servant of Allah" on the internet. His inspiration comes from radical Chechen compatriots who are an integral part of the "Islamist North Caucasian scene" (INS). According to Germany's Office for the Protection of the Constitution, these individuals sneak into the country disguised as refugees and constitute a substantial portion of the violent Salafist potential in Brandenburg. Rasul M. hails from Wittstock/Dosse and boasts an ISIS flag in one of his videos. The ominous banner flaunts the emblem of the "Caucasian Emirate," a recognized terrorist organization.
Alarmingly, the German public remains blissfully unaware of this perilous situation. Neither the state government in Potsdam nor the federal government has shed light on the threat SS Rasul M. poses.
In a rather worrying summary, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has provided crucial insights. "For the Islamist North Caucasian scene (INS)," Western societies serve as the "potential target for attacks." Furthermore, "A further influx of Islamic or even jihadist-oriented North Caucasians" is deemed "likely."
Germany's interior ministers are explicitly informed of this grim reality. Six years ago, in 2017, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution had categorized Chechens as the "most dangerous immigrant group." They had virtually taken control of the country's Islamist scene.
Strikingly, the German-Polish border remained inexplicably porous and unprotected. It was not until this autumn and in response to considerable public outcry that Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) ordered checks in Frankfurt (Oder).
Regrettably, her mission to safeguard the population was disregarded. The federal government has been negligent in upholding the security of its citizens for years, only to issue warnings about potential attacks on Christmas markets.
Isn't this an egregious dereliction of duty?
