“Germany remains a safe country with a strong police force, with well-organized security agencies… We are good [at security], but we want to be better.”
Germany’s interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, has recently unveiled a long list of anti-terror measures: thousands of new police officers, billions of euros for the security services, better cyber intelligence and faster deportation of foreign criminals.
This was, of course, in one sense about reassuring the German public. It is not the first time the government has announced anti-terror measures. But it is also the response to what are thought to have been the first terror attacks on German soil inspired by so-called Islamic State (IS). […]
Recent polls suggest around three quarters of Germans are worried by the threat of terror. The co-author of one study, Prof. Manfred Schmidt from Heidelberg University, was quoted as saying: “People used to worry about money, health and the environment. This has been replaced by terrorism and extremism.” …

What Germany really needs is a Second Amendment.
Yes, and as worded in the US Constitution.
The solution is more liberty. Not less.
Recent polls suggest around three quarters of Germans are worried by the threat of terror..
I wonder what percent were worried about adolph circa 1933.
Brilliant people in so many aspects but when it comes to leaders and politics, well....
A FULL quarter of the people aren’t worried about terror?
The extra money and men won’t matter when they are too busy arresting critics of Muslim migrants to bother arresting the Muslim rapists.
It might ought to be mentioned that from the dozen-odd recommendations from the Interior Minister for better security and safety....all involve joint support of the coalition in the Bundestag, and commentary from the partner party (the SPD) has NOT been very supportive. The more cops agenda will be passed. But the rest of these (particularly the anti-Berka idea) will simply fall by the side as the weeks go by and these are put up for a vote.
I do agree....three-quarters of the public have frustrations and anger over what has occurred. The national election is still 14-odd months away and for some folks....can’t come soon enough.
But added into the mess will likely be a large exodus from Turkey of anti-Erdogan Turks and Kurds in the coming months....who will seek to resettle into Germany. It’ll divide the German public even further.
1. Liberals who say if we just cower, they won’t hurt us
2. Muslims
3. People who are afraid of terrorism but are afraid of being punished if they give the wrong answer to the poll
The other 25% are the ones supporting and committing it.
75% Germans
25% other.....
Both great assessments, thanks
They are seeing the same issue in Trump polling. When reported online, the rates are higher than when someone tells an on the phone pollster, and even lower if in person. Fear makes people under-report the politically incorrect answer.
You and I came to this conclusion in about the same nanosecond! Unbelievable.
How about instead closing the borders to muslims, and deporting the ones that just came in?
And all of that new manpower and cash will be used to squash any criticism of fraulein merkel and the hoards of jihadi f@#%$ that she has unleashed upon the German people.
Screw the EU, they need to arm themselves to the teeth to repel the muslim onslaught that their “leaders” have foisted upon them.
others made valid points. Liberals AND muzzies.
Who would be dumb enough to include muzzies in a poll about muzzies killing Germans. I dont care if they’re citizens or not.
What muzzies here think about terror (other than committing it) i could care less about.
What’s the birthrate among white Germans? What is it among muzzies? I dont know but i bet i know who’s winning the race.
They will not win this war. Lot of American Christians have big families, not enough, but a LOT MORE than Western Europe.
They’re in trouble.
Also, I would put in ICU any muzzie raped or murdered or even groped my wife, sister, mother, niece or any close friends’ kin.
I wouldn’t march in a ####ing mini skirt like a faggot to protest. That’s what the “men” did in Germany.
I prefer this tactic after I smash the muzzie into ICU..
“And just about the time that I’m comin’ out of jail, hopefully, you’ll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I’ll split your ####in’ head open again. ‘Cause I’m ####in’ stupid. I don’t give a #### about jail...”
from Casino of course.
” thousands of new police officers, billions of euros for the security services, better cyber intelligence and faster deportation of foreign criminals.”
I would say “what fools the Germans are! All they have to do is to keep the damn Muslims out!” But then again our country opted for the Iraq War and billions of dollars in Home Land security also.
One can see how easily the Nazis were able to hoodwink millions. Merkel is as evil as Hitler. Perhaps more so, since she despises Germany, Christianity and White Europeans, and wants to destroy all of the above. She has made NO SECRET of this, if you are paying attention, yet the people ALLOWED her to bring in the invading army of 1 million+ Muslims without a squeak — until now when it is FAR too late to stop the inevitable destruction of Germany.
