The cabinet agreed on Wednesday to push for a new law aimed at stopping people from leaving Germany to fight for Islamist movements in the Middle East.

Potential jihadists affected by the law would have their ID card confiscated for up to three years and replaced with a new one that does not allow them to travel outside Germany.

The original draft law was to confiscate the regular ID cards for only 18 months.

The law already allows authorities to confiscate the passports of people suspected of having terrorist connections, but many German citizens who have gone to fight for terror groups, including ISIS, in conflict zones such as Syria and Iraq have traveled via Turkey using just their national ID card to cross borders. …

Hah. No, I don’t doubt the effectiveness of German intelligence. The STASI made the KGB look like a bunch of oafs...but you’re talking a lot of people potentially. There are 3 million Turks in Germany, suspect the number of recruits would be in the hundreds if not higher.

It’s a conceit of Western governments that they think they can keep a lid on organized insurgent groups within their own borders. There is this idea that it can be managed.

Which is crap, as evidenced by 9/11, the LAX shootings, Nidal Hasan, and the Tsarnaev Brothers proved.

Can’t say what the optimal answer is. If Germany wants to keep them in the corral, it better be a real one.

Nothing like creating cells in your own country. What could possibly go wrong?

How dumb is that? Much smarter to make them travel and never let them come back. Send them to "Allah's paradise"!
