Germany charges man with fundraising for ISIS
 [SHAFAQ] German prosecutors have charged an Iraqi immigrant with membership in a terrorist organization on allegations that he raised thousands of dollars for the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (ISIS), authorities said Friday. The man, identified only as Aymen A.-J. in line with German privacy laws, was arrested in early January on Germany's border with Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... as he allegedly was headed to link up with the organization, intending to fight in Syria or elsewhere, federal prosecutors said. The man came to Germany from Iraq in 2016 during a wave of migration, primary from the Middle East. He began to get interested in Islamic State ideology by the end of 2018 and joined the bad boy group no later than the beginning of 2020, according to prosecutors. German prosecutors alleged A.-J. originally wanting to travel to the Mideast to take part in "armed jihad," but members of group told him to put off the plan and stay in Germany to raise funds. Between June and September 2020, he transferred at least $12,000 in multiple transactions to the Islamic State group in Syria and Leb  ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...The funds were used to support female sympathizers in Syrian refugee camps and to finance smuggling the women back to the Islamic State group, prosecutors said. The money sent to Lebanon was intended to help get Islamic State fighters out of prisons and facilitate their return to the group, they alleged. Posted by: Fred 2021-05-01 |
