Hundreds of Germans have flocked to ISIS, dozens have died fighting
[Rudaw] Nearly 700 German Death Eaters have travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight for their idea of a so-called Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and the trend is on the rise, German authorities said.

According to Germany's domestic security agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), about 680 Death Eaters from Germany have so far travelled to the Middle East to fight alongside ISIS.

Hans-Georg Maaßen, the agency's director, "The stream to the combat zones continues unabated (and) the brutal propaganda of the Islamic State attracts more."

The BfV is one of three major federal intelligence agencies in Germany. The agencies mention about 7,300 Salafists
...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them...
in Germany; the fighters are recruited from their ranks. Their number has risen tremendously during the last few years: in 2011, only 3,800 Salafists were known to authorities.

About a third of the bully boyz have returned to Germany, some with fighting experience. "Salafists want to establish an 'Islamic State' in Germany too!" Maaßen repeated several times. "The Islamist scene is increasing constantly. This leads also to a larger breeding ground for jihadism."

Islamist strongholds in Germany are cities like Berlin or states like Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Prominent preachers like Pierre Vogel or "Sharia Police officer" Sven Lau propagate the Salafist movement in Germany, even though they officially refuse to support violence. Another German citizen fighting for the Islamic State is Denis Cuspert, better known as Deso Dog. In a video-message recently published he threatened German public by saying: "Actions were delivered in La Belle France, in Germany the sleepers are waiting."

Germany, which is providing Kurdish Peshmerga with training and weaponry, fears an attack by radical bully boyz on its own soil. Just recently a German spokesperson for ISIS, Christian Emde, told journalist Jurgen Todenhofer: "We will definitely return, and that will not be with friendliness or something like that, it will be with our weapons and our fighters."

On Wednesday, German intelligence revealed that 85 German Islamists have been killed to date during festivities between ISIS and the allied forces, such as the Peshmerga. Reports about festivities between Kurds and Salafists have been common since the outbreak of the war in Kurdistan.
