Turkish Intelligence Now Has More Agents In Germany Than The Stasi Ever Did
2016-08-23
[Daily Caller] An unnamed politician is stirring the pot in Germany, stating Sunday that Turkish intelligence, known as MIT, has a network of more than 800 agents operating 6,000 informants inside Germany.

What that figure amounts to is one informant for every 500 Turks in Germany, reports the German newspaper Die Welt.

Not even the Stasi, the once feared legendary East German secret police, managed to run a network inside the German Federal Republic this extensive, Deutsche Welle reports.

"This is no longer about an agency acquiring intelligence, but increasing performing repression," Erich Schmidt-Eenboom said. "Even the Stasi did not succeed in building up such a large army of agents in the federal republic."

MIT agents exist in Germany to put massive pressure on Turks, who may have valuable information or connections. There are approximately 3 million Turks living in Germany.

Green Party Member of Parliament (MP) Hans-Christian Ströbele noted there was an "unbelievable" amount of "secret activities" perpetrated by MIT.

#4  The Turks may be greater in raw numbers, but something like 1 in 4 East Germans worked for or cooperated with the Stasi.

#2   A crucial aspect of the original Muslim Brotherhood that was soon rejected following the death of Banna its founder was the stated belief that there could be but one party, the party of God (Hizbollah). The MoBro was created in Turkey as the Nur movement. From there it spread to Turkish workers in Germany. Under various names the Brotherhood in Germany has managed to coexist with the state but has never rejected its slogan,"Islam is the answer." (Islam huwwa al-hal.)
