Sinan Selen, a 46-year-old Istanbul-born counter-terrorism expert, will be the first Muslim to fill a top leadership position within Germany's intelligence community.
Throughout his government career, Selen has been resolute in confronting Islamic fundamentalists in Germany. He also led efforts at the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) to monitor the Turkish nationalist Milli Görüs, an influential Islamist movement strongly opposed to Muslim integration into European society.
The leadership changes at the BfV were spurred by a cellphone video that purportedly showed right-wing mobs attacking migrants over the murder of a German citizen in Chemnitz by two failed asylum seekers. According to the respected blog Tichys Einblick, the video actually documented migrants attacking Germans, not Germans "hunting" migrants. Chancellor Angela Merkel has appointed a Turkish immigrant to fill the second-highest position in Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, BfV).
As the BfV's new vice president, Sinan Selen will be the first Muslim to fill a top leadership position within Germany's intelligence community.
The appointment comes just weeks after Merkel fired BfV President Hans-Georg Maaßen for publicly defending the anti-mass-migration party Alternative for Germany (AfD) against attacks from Merkel and the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD).
By choosing Selen, Merkel appears to be trying to achieve several objectives. First, she seems to be attempting to save her floundering government by placating the SPD, which has demanded that the domestic intelligence agency begin monitoring the AfD party, and which has called for more people with a "migration background" in leadership positions at federal agencies.
Selen's appointment also seems to be a symbolic move aimed at reaching out to Germany's Turkish community, which has long complained of "institutionalized racism" within the German security apparatus.

Directly tied to the mandated immigrant importation.
Finally, by appointing an ethnic Turk, Merkel appears to be trying to mollify Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has repeatedly pressed for her to crack down on anti-Turkish Kurdish elements in Germany.
What could possibly go wrong?
Yes what? /s
Islam is a war plan.
That would be like Trump should nominating Dmitry Medvedev for Secretary of State.
Oh, wait! That’s what Obama did!
The chimps are inside the wire.
Yep, and the Globalist pukes are cheering.
headshake.
If I could only forget that 8 years.
"Some in the German blogosphere have speculated about Selen's ideological background. What is known is that throughout his government career, Selen has been resolute in confronting Islamic fundamentalists in Germany. He also led BfV efforts to monitor the Turkish nationalist Milli Görüs (Turkish for "National Vision"), an influential Islamist movement strongly opposed to Muslim integration into European society."
A lot of Muslim in Europe, before the Syrian refugee crisis, despise Islamic extremism. That's why the went to Europe in the first place. His appointment does in fact serve Merkel's political needs, but his career makes him look like a solid pick aganist Islamic terrorism.
Thanks Texas Fossil. Yeah, that should work. First priority will be to get Germany on Turkey's side regarding deportation of Gulen.

Is that pic suppose to be legit?
That is legit, obviously.

Oh, wait! That’s what Obama did!

And we can’t forget John Brennan, a Communist America hating Muslim to CIA.
Although Gatestone claims to be non-partisan, their roster of experts and authors tends to be center-left.
In any event, that is the most depressing essay on modern Germany I have ever read.
You forgot to mention...
According to the posted essay, Erdogan urged Merkel to appoint Selen.
That’s nothing. We had Obama, Brennan and Jarrett.
I missed that, point taken.
Gee what could go wrong?
> Throughout his government career, Selen has been resolute in confronting Islamic fundamentalists in Germany. <
I don’t know if that means much. Because Hitler was resolute in confronting Roehm’s SA fundamentalists in Germany.
Just sayin’.
