The domestic intelligence service has announced an uptick of hundreds in a matter of months. At least one cause of the worrying trend is the ease with which young people can become radicalized online, authorities said.
Germany's domestic security and intelligance agency (the BfV) said on Wednesday that the radical Islamist scene in the country had grown considerably, from only about 100 people in 2013 to some 1,600 today. Indeed, according to BfV chief Hans-Georg Maassen, the number had jumped by several hundred in a matter of months.
"We receive between two and four credible tips on planned terrorist activity in Germany each day," Maassen said. "We have to recognize that we are living in a different situation now than was normal."
The BfV explained that part of the reason for the uptick was the heavy press coverage of terror plots, as well as the increased ease in connecting with extremists online. It also cited an increased danger in young people being radicalized online, saying that then their friends and relatives might not be able to see what is happening.
"These are social groups that find each other, let's say through their mosque community, and the people who see them in the real world don't necessarily notice any change in behavior," according to Maassen.
Of the 1,600 Islamists living in Germany, Maassen said that about 570 of them were considered "dangerous," that is, capable of plotting an a terror attack.
German authorities are constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the Salafists, which has meant banning a particularly controversial translation of the Koran to a series of raids and arrests against suspected attackers.
Imagine that.
You know, I don’t give the intelligence world the credit it really deserves. I am so far behind them. I’d really like to know how they were able to figure this puzzle out, but as long as they just keep on keeping us safe, it’s probably best that I don’t.
They really are the best minds./s
Oh come on. Everyone knows there’s no problem with Islamic extremism in Europe. This is so racist. /s
German Intelligence
I got this in email today-for what it is worth.
Snopes says this is “Unproven”. Not sure how valid this is.

Just in case you don’t think President Trump is doing the right thing! Read it!
Pass this on to everyone you know!
“Yesterday, at the hospital, we had a meeting about how the situation here
and at the other Munich hospitals is unsustainable. Clinics cannot handle the number of migrant medical emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the main hospitals.
Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff, and we women are now refusing to go among those migrants!
Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse.
Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9units.
Many migrants have AIDS, syphilis, open TB and many exotic diseases that we in Europe do not know how to treat.
If they receive a prescription to the pharmacy, they suddenly learn they have to pay cash. This leads to unbelievable outbursts, especially when it is about drugs for the children. They abandon the children with pharmacy
staff with the words: So, cure them here yourselves!
So the police are not just guarding the clinics and hospitals, but also the large pharmacies.
We ask openly where are all those who welcomed the migrants in front of TV cameras with signs at train stations? Yes, for now, the border has been closed, but a million of them are already here and we will definitely not
be able to get rid of them.
Until now, the number of unemployed in Germany was 2.2 million. Now it will be at least 3.5 million. Most of these people are completely unemployable.
Only a small minimum of them have any education. What is more, their women usually do not work at all. I estimate that one in ten is pregnant.
Hundreds of thousands of them have brought along infants and little kids under six, many emaciated and very needy. If this continues and Germany re-opens its borders, I am going home to the Czech Republic. Nobody can keep me here in this situation, not even for double the salary back home.
I came to Germany to work, not to Africa or the Middle East!
Even the professor who heads our department told us how sad it makes him to see the cleaning woman, who has cleaned every day for years for 800 euros and then meets crowds of young men in the hallways who just wait with their
hands outstretched, wanting everything for free, and when they don’t get it they throw a fit.
I really don’t need this! But I am afraid that if I return home, at some point it will be the same in the Czech Republic. If the Germans, with their systems, cannot handle this, then, guaranteed, back home will be total chaos.....
You - who have not come in contact with these people have absolutely no idea what kind of badly behaved desperados these people are, and how Muslims act superior to our staff, regarding their religious accommodation.
For now, the local hospital staff have not come down with the diseases these people brought here, but with so many hundreds of patients every day
â this is just a question of time.
In a hospital near the Rhine, migrants attacked the staff with knives after they had handed over an 8-month-old on the brink of death, who they’d dragged across half of Europe for three months. The child died two days later, despite having received top care at one of the best pediatric
clinics in Germany. The pediatric physician had to undergo surgery and the two nurses are recovering in the ICU. Nobody has been punished.
The local press is forbidden to write about it, so we can only inform you through email. What would have happened to a German if he had stabbed the doctor and nurses with a knife? Or if he had flung his own syphilis-infected urine into a nurses face and so threatened her with infection? At a minimum he would have gone straight to jail and later to
court. With these people so far, nothing has happened,
And so I ask: Where are all those greeters and receivers from the train stations? Sitting pretty at home, enjoying their uncomplicated, safe lives. If it were up to me, I would round up all those greeters and bring them here first to our hospitals emergency ward as attendants! Then in to one of the buildings housing the migrants, so they can really look after them there themselves, without armed police and police dogs, who, sadly today, are in every hospital here in Bavaria.”
Is this “situation” coming to your country?

So, only about a third of them are potentially dangerous?
I feel so much better now ....
...Authorities see no connection between the sixteen-fold increase in islamic extremism, and the mass islamic immigration during that time.
Among the list of causes, an extra million or so “refugees” since 2013 was not mentioned. Even if you live by simple probabilities alone, that would explain the increase.
Beat me by 3 minutes.
wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute ! The country imports many more muslims and there’s an increase in islamic extremism? Something isn’t adding up- where’s the connection? There must be another cause- I’m guessing it’s trump’s fault
“German intelligence agency”
Unintentionally ironic. I’ve never been able to fathom how the country that produces the best engineers could possibly be so inept at...well, basically, everything else.
