The German government has released new statistics showing that radical Salafist Muslim preachers are increasingly attempting to recruit underage migrants, and the German Federal Police has announced that the number of migrants that are suspected of terrorist links or radicalization has also increased.
Statistics from the German Interior Ministry show that at least 340 cases have been recorded of Salafist preachers recruiting underage migrants since October of last year, with over half of those cases occurring in or around asylum centers. The Salafist groups don’t show up at the centers openly preaching, but rather they use giving aid as a front for their activities, such as by distributing food and religious items like prayer mats and Qurans, and they also give cash to the migrants.
The German Federal Police (BKA) chief Holger Münch has spoken to the media saying that at the moment they count 523 investigations of migrants suspected of terrorist links, up from 501 in June. He assured the public that his police had already arrested 80 Muslims linked to ISIS and other terror groups, and the remaining suspects are under observation with the police having a “coordinated action plan” to deal with the threat.
Also, the chief of the Frankfurt police Wolfgang Trusheim said earlier this month that children raised by Salafist preachers or Salafist parents were a long term danger to German security.
The day after he killed five people at a shopping mall in Burlington, Washington, Arian Cetin, 20, was arrested near his home on Saturday night. He is being charged with five counts of murder.
Cetin took three guns from his father before heading to Macy’s, where his ex-girlfriend once worked, but she quit several months ago and was not at the mall at the time of the shooting. He opened fire for about one minute, then set the rifle down on the counter and walked away.
Authorities report he was apprehended 30 miles from the scene of the crime in a “zombie-like state” on Saturday evening. Police lieutenant Mike Hawley responded to tips from the community and spotted Cetin, who he immediately recognized. “I literally hit my brakes, did a quick turn, I jumped out,” Hawley said. “He just froze.”
Cetin, who immigrated to the US from Turkey, is a legal permanent resident. He has been arrested once before in the county for assault, and the Seattle times reports that Cetin’s criminal record includes three domestic violence charges.
Classmates who knew Cetin at Oak Harbor High School said he was known for harassing girls in middle school and high school.

— Sarai Lara, 16, was a cancer survivor who battled the disease as a young child. Her mother, Evangelina, was shopping with her and they split up to go into different stores. Evangelina desperately tried to get to her daughter but was blocked from entering the store, and seven hours later it was confirmed that Sarai, who had just applied for a job at Denny’s to support her family, was one of the victims.
— Belinda Galde, 64, and her 95-year-old mother Beatrice Dotson were both killed in the cosmetics section. Galde was an employee with the Snohomish Country District Court since 1989. A statement issued by the court said she was an “amazingly kind and caring individual” who helped thousands of probationers find a better way to live.
— Chuck Eagan, a father with two daughters, had been at the mall with his wife when the shots rang out. He and his wife began to run but she fell down, and he was shot when he stopped to try to help her. He was a Boeing employee who was about to retire.
— Shayla Martin, 52, was working behind the makeup counter at the Macy’s cosmetics department when she was killed. Her sister said “She was so sweet. She was just very independent. She wanted to make her own way. She didn’t want to rely on anyone else.”
The Dalai Lama has been interviewed by Piers Morgan on British television, saying that migrants should plan on returning to their rebuild their own countries.
Morgan: “You’re a migrant— a refugee. There are now millions of people, mainly from Syria having to be displaced across Europe. What do you think the answer is to this crisis?”
Dalai Lama: “The main effort should go to help (their) own country bring peace, in Syria, Libya or even Afghanistan. Generally the people always feel, ‘oh, one day we return’.”
Morgan: “Ultimately all refugees should aspire to go back to their homeland?”
Dalai Lama: “Yes. (They) should rebuild their own country.”
The Dalai Lama has expressed similar sentiments in May of this year, warning that “Germany cannot become an Arab country.” The following is a summary of this Breitbart article:
In May of 2016 it was reported in Agence France-Presse that the Dalai Lama had stated that there are too many migrants pouring into Europe, warning against Europe becoming an Arab region and saying the solution is for the immigrants to be repatriated in order to help rebuild their own countries.
The Dalai Llama’s comments are similar to those made by Europe’s anti-Islamisation PEGIDA movement, France’s Front National, Germany’s Alternative Fur Deutschland, and to a degree Britain’s UK Independence Party, but those groups are often accused as being “racist” or “xenophobic” for having those views.
The Dalai Lama was recently named at the world’s most popular leader, with over three-quarters of adults (78%) having a good opinion of him.
Following are statements the Dalai Lama had made:
“When we look at the face of each refugee, but especially those of the children and women, we feel their suffering, and a human being who has a better situation in life has the responsibility to help them… But on the other hand, there are too many at the moment… Europe, Germany in particular, cannot become an Arab country, Germany is Germany.”
“There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.”
“[F]rom a moral point of view too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily.”
“The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.”
“‘Taking in a few thousand refugees is wonderful but in the meantime you have to think about a long term solution too – through development and education in these Muslim countries.”
Last night a man walked up to a makeup counter at a Macy’s store in a Washington state mall carrying a hunting rifle, then he proceeded to shoot and kill four women and a man ranging in age from teenagers to seniors after reportedly shouting a “woman’s name” several times.
Authorities describe the man as “Hispanic” in his late teens to mid twenties. Surveillance video showed that he entered the building without a gun. He was last seen walking toward Interstate 5 which is a few hundred feet from the Macy’s exit.
The above video report closes with the reporter saying “This is a local investigation right now. The FBI is involved but they did say at the news conference that there is nothing that points to a terrorism act at this point.”
As many as 2,000 teenagers have been radicalized by the Islamic State in France, reports a security source in the French Le Figaro newspaper, also saying that the number of girls embracing the Jihadist ideology is increasing.
— The security forces said they have identified 1,954 young men and women as ISIS terrorist organization sympathizers since the start of this year.
— Levels of radicalization among teens in the country have increased by 121 percent compared to January 2015.
— Seventeen French youths have been killed fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
— 37 teens have recently been indicted in France on terrorism and extremism charges.
— An increasing number of teenage girls are sympathizing with the ISIS terrorists.
— The source said the jihadists prey on youths with physiological problems who are going through tough times for reasons such as their parents getting divorced. They use special recruiting techniques to make the young men and woman easy targets for the radicals.
— French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the terrorist threat in the country is higher than ever before, and he said that 300 people have been arrested in France for links to terrorist activity since the beginning of the year.
— France has been on high alert since the Charlie Hebdo tourist attack in January 2015 where 12 people were killed, and the Paris attack in November of that year where 130 people were killed by ISIS terrorists.
— Other notable recent attacks in France include the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France on July 14 which killed 84 people, and the two Islamic radicals beheading a Catholic priest later in July in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
Surveillance video from inside the home of a Gwinnett County, Georgia woman shows her rushing toward three home invaders while shooting at them.

A Muslim migrant in Spain is on trial for murdering six Christian refugees, including a pastor, on a 2014 voyage across the Mediterranean from Africa to Europe, believing that a storm and rough seas had been caused by their Catholic prayers.
The captain of the boat is accused of savagely beating the pastor with a wooden plank and stealing money and religious symbols from the Christians before throwing them overboard, leaving them to drown in the frigid waters, as recounted by multiple witnesses.
The prosecutor is asking for six separate terms of 15 years for murder with religious motivation, amounting to a 90-year sentence.
A similar case occurred on a crossing from Libya to Italy in April last year, where fifteen Muslim migrants were arrested for murdering 12 Christians and throwing their bodies into the sea.
Legal immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship through the naturalization process are now exempt from pledging to “bear arms on behalf of the United States,” being allowed to opt out of that part of the oath due to an executive order by the Obama Administration which circumvented Congressional debate and approval.
As with other immigration laws, the Republican controlled Congress has not used its constitutional powers to reverse the administrative action by the unelected bureaucrats at the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Service), who are given great leeway in managing the naturalization process.
From the article: “Yet, in view of Obama’s actions, why doesn’t Congress change the law and take control of the Oath of Allegiance? .. If they won’t even bar Islamic terrorists from the refugee program, why should we expect them to protect the Oath of Allegiance? Some members of Congress will grumble, make speeches and issue press releases, but the Republican leadership will do nothing.”
18.7 million immigrants are currently eligible to eventually become citizens, and 8.8 million already meet the 5-year residency requirement.
Keith Lamont Scott, 43, a black father of seven, was shot and killed by a black police officer in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday afternoon, prompting two days of rioting in the city due to widespread belief on social media that Scott was unarmed and only carrying a book.
Police claim that Scott disregarded repeated demands to drop his gun, but his family and neighborhood residents insist he was only holding a book instead of a weapon as he waiting for his son to get off of a school bus.
Violence broke out when Scott’s daughter posted a profanity-laced hour long video on Facebook claiming that he was disabled and was unarmed.
On Wednesday, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said that the officers were serving arrest warrants on another person when they saw Scott get out of a vehicle with a handgun, and a black officer Brentley Vinson shot him after making “loud, clear” demands to drop his gun. Putney made it clear that Scott posted a threat even though he didn’t point the gun at officers, and he said a book was not found but Scott’s gun was found next to him on the ground.
Neighbors claimed that the officer who fired was white and Scott had his hands in the air, but some who said they witnessed the shooting told their versions with an air of certainty even though they were hundreds of yards away.
The three uniformed officers had body cameras, but Vinson, who was plainclothes, did not. The Chief said he cannot release the video because an investigation is underway.
Dozens of demonstrators threw rocks at police and reporters, damaged squad cars, closed part of Interstate 85, and looted and set fire to a stopped truck on Tuesday night. Authorities used tear gas to break up the protests, where sixteen officers suffered minor injuries and one person was arrested.
While the city’s white mayor and black police chief appealed for calm at city hall, African American leaders who claimed to be speaking for Scott’s family held their own news conference near the scene of the incident, reminding the crowd of other shootings and abuses of black men.
Wednesday’s protest started as a downtown prayer vigil, but a hostile group left the event and marched through downtown Charlotte chanting “Black Lives Matter” slogans, then running into officers in riot gear where some marchers threw objects at them, escalating into the riot police firing flash grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowd.
A protester was critically injured after being shot in the head by another protestor, and several members of the media were assaulted and taken to hospitals.
Late on Wednesday, Governor Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard and state troopers to restore order and protect the downtown.
In 2013, Charlotte police charged one of their officers with voluntary manslaughter after he shot an unarmed black man who had been in a car accident and was looking for help. The jury deadlocked and the charge was dropped last summer, which resulted in protests but no violence.

The brother of Scott was asked by the media “Is there anything we should know?” To which he replied, “You just know, that all white people are f*ckin’ devils.” And his companion added, “And make sure you get that out!” And then Scott’s brother continued, “All white cops are f*ckin’ devils— and white people!”
A black Muslim leader says what happened is a “modern day lynching,” promising more riots and advocating an economic boycott of Charlotte saying “Don’t spend no money for no white folks who don’t respect us.”

Agitators filmed themselves throwing rocks off an I-85 overpass to strike unsuspecting motorists below. They ooed and awed as they heard the rocks striking passing vehicles. Click here to watch the video.
A woman and her family who had their windshield shattered by a rock dropped from the overpass is interviewed outside a hospital emergency room: “Unfortunately these protesters, they don’t see the difference. We’re people trying to get home. We haven’t done anything wrong. I fear if we would have had to stop, they would have done something else.”
