RT spoke to Jurgen Todenhofer, the first Western journalist who was allowed to enter territory controlled by the so-called Islamic State. A year ago, he spent 10 days among the terrorists, also visiting Raqqa, the capital of the self-proclaimed caliphate. To arrange the journey, Todenhofer held Skype discussions with Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) for six months before they agreed to his visit. Finally, the jihadists gave him official guarantee safety. “It was in their interest to fulfill their promises that I would come back alive – and I came back alive,” he said. After spending several days with ISIS militants,...

The first Western journalist to be allowed access into ISIL territory spent 10 days among the terrorists a year ago.

The totalitarian mass murderers of Islamic State are hellbent on acquiring nuclear weapons and using them against their enemies in the West, a reporter who was embedded with the Salafi jihadist fighters in occupied Syria is warning. German journalist Jürgen Todenhöfer, who spent 10 anxious days living in Islamic State-held Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor in Syria with the jihadists, wants the world to know that the terrorist group is deadly serious about unleashing a "nuclear tsunami" on those who oppose its efforts to create an Islamic caliphate. "This is the largest religious cleansing strategy that has ever been planned...

He added, “Something that I don’t understand at all is the enthusiasm in their plan of...

A German Muslim convert fighting with ISIS has warned his compatriots that Germans should “brace themselves” for terrorist attacks. The German jihadist Christian Emde issued the warning in an interview posted to Facebook by Jürgen Todenhöfer, a journalist who has reported extensively from areas in Iraq and Syria controlled by ISIS. Emde, who was expelled from Britain in 2012 for possessing jihadist publications, said ISIS would eventually seek to take over Europe. “We will one day conquer Europe. We don’t just want to. We will. And we are sure about that.” …

Dear friends, we are slowly recovering from the stress the journey into the “Islamic State” has induced on us. Frederic, my son, has lost several pounds. Of course, I have been aware that both, meeting with ISIS and American and Syrian bomb attacks, could put me into high risk. In Mosul, low-flying US aircraft circled over us numerous times. And our “apartment” in the Syrian town Raqqa was largely destroyed by a Syrian bomb while we were staying in Mosul, Iraq. Hence, our last night in Raqqa had to be spent in a bombed-out and glass-splittered apartment. It’s difficult to...

Alright FReepers, this is my first quasi-vanity, in the sense that I don't post an article by another source, but wrote myself on Dr. Todenhöfer, a shining example of elitist, academic and political Dhimmitude and Anti-Americanism in Germany. If you think the American MSM is biased, if not downright sympathetic towards the Jihadi enemy, and if you think that Michael Moore is a propagandist slob, you haven't met Jürgen Todenhöfer. Sure the German media outlets, such as the "Spiegel" and "Stern" have an infamous history of BDS and anti-Americanism, but Dr. Todenhöfer trumps that. Dr. Jürgen Todenhöfer (67) is an...
