German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has vowed to enact tougher measures to deport criminals, terrorists, and terror supporters after a 25-year-old Afghan man committed a fatal stabbing last week.
Currently, Germany does not deport people back to Afghanistan or Syria partly due to the harsh conditions and oppressive leadership in those countries. Afghanistan is run by the Taliban, a brutal Islamist militant organization with which Germany does not have diplomatic relations, while Syria is led by Bashar al-Assad, the Iran-backed leader who has been accused of mass war crimes during his country’s ongoing civil war.
But Scholz is looking to restore deportations to those countries when people from there commit crimes or engage in acts of terrorism. He said on German public radio this week that national security is “more important than protecting the interests of extremists.”
Last week, a video of a brutal fatal stabbing of a police officer went viral in Germany. According to German authorities, the perpetrator was a 25-year-old Afghan man who arrived in Germany in 2014, stabbed a number of people, and struck a police officer in the back of the head. The incident sparked calls for tougher measures against terrorists.

Sadly what happened in the 1930s and 1940s will now come back to haunt them as people dredge up the past. But remember, in the past the nazis and moslems got along well.
It is different today.
“Terror” is an abstraction, and as such, “declaring war” on it is meaningless.
Our war(s) against our enemies have failed, consistently, in large part because of this abstraction.
“Enemy soldier” and “acts of war” have concrete meanings with a long historical record (millenia) that clarify what is to be done and how to do it.
“Terrorist” and “terrorism” lack this clarity, and therefore responses to them lack purpose and lack focus.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, for example, is still alive consuming 3 hots and a cot in Gitmo. The six confused German enemy soldiers who landed at Amagansett in 1942 were electrocuted in the Washington City jail six weeks after they showed up.
And please let’s not get wound up in technicalities. I know the Germans were out of uniform and didn’t qualify for POW status.
The overarching issue is:
“Enemy soldier” = Kill
“Terrorist” - Better call Saul.
From a culture where gays are murdered, pre-pubescent girls are married off, women are stoned to death for adultery, and Christian’s are killed for ‘insulting’ a book, or just for not converting their faith, ....it was difficult to see how there’d be problems importing these folks. I mean, who’d have guessed????
lol.
What a novel idea! Why didn't other nations think of this?
