Germany to expel suspected Islamist radicals
Expatica ^ | 11 January 2005

Posted on 01/11/2005 5:27:09 AM PST by veronica

BERLIN - The German state government of Bavaria announced on Tuesday it will expel 10 suspected Islamist radicals next week.

A further 40 suspected Muslim extremists are under 24-hour a day police surveillance, said the state interior ministry in Munich.

Bavaria expelled a Jordanian radical in August who was allegedly collecting money for terrorist groups and had links with planned attacks on Jewish and Israeli facilities in Berlin and Duesseldorf.

Germany's new immigration law - which came into force 1 January - makes fast-track expulsion of terrorist suspects easier.

Expel? How about arresting them?

How about finding evidence that they committed a crime? Tell me why the US government keeps hundreds of prisoners in a camp outside the States without trying them? I´ll tell you: because it´s d-mned hard to find evidence for the individual guilt. It´s a lot easier for the German government to deport them.

This is OK for Germany to do...but they call the United States a Nazi power?

If we can arrest Christians in Philadelphia for exercising their freedom of speech, then I gotta think we can arrest Islamic radicals.

But you know that there´s a difference between "we" and "them"? WE are better!

Here's a good reason: So they can't carry out another terrorist attack - which is plenty good reason enough for me!

So, the Germans expel terrorists, a few months later the same terrorists sneak back into the country, and this is suppose to stop something??

Do the Germans have jails??

The German approach to this is pretty smart. If you arrest one of these guys in Germany, you have to give them a trial under the German legal system with a right to counsel etc. What the Germans do is expel these guys back to their home country, such as Jordan or Morrocco or Algeria. The local security services there arrest them as soon as they get off the plane and these guys tend to dissapear into a dark hole somewhere, never to be seen again.

When these guys get off the plane in Amman or wherever, the local security services pick them up and make them dissapear. Plus, when it comes to extracting information from suspected terrorists, our friends in a place like Algeria aren't too concerned about niceties like rules against attaching aligator clips to testicles.

Just like chiraq (spelling intended) they hope the jihadists will go kill Americans.
