And the backlash begins...
BERLIN, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The German government on Thursday announced a proposed package of tighter security and asylum measures following a deadly stabbing spree linked to Islamic State that has fuelled far-right opposition and criticism of Berlin's migration policies.
Three people were killed and eight wounded in the attack last Friday which took place during a festival marking Solingen's 650-year anniversary.
The incident has heightened political wrangling over asylum and deportation rules as the suspect was an asylum seeker from Syria whom the government had failed to deport.
The backlash comes a few days before elections in two eastern states where the anti-immigration AfD party is topping polls, putting further pressure on the centre ruling coalition to take a harder stance on the issue.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday welcomed an offer from opposition leader Friedrich Merz to discuss solutions but the government rejected some of his proposals such as declaring a national emergency or banning Syrians and Afghans from entering Germany.

FBI arrests Afghan man over alleged US election day terror plot
The man allegedly plotted to carry out an attack in the US on behalf of the Islamic State

So this guy and his co conspirator were both caught - which is FANTASTIC news, and a job well done by all involved!
My biggest fear (which I'm 99% sure I'm right about) are all of the sleeper agents & sleeper cells who keep themselves quiet, don't text or talk over the phone about their plans, coordinate in Mosques and in private - who I genuinely believe are gearing up for a massive October 7th style attack across America sometime within the next year (possibly as early as shortly after the election, which will be right around the Holiday season)
With tens of millions who have crossed the southern US border, not to mention the hundreds of thousands the US government have flown in from overseas - if even 1% of them are open to attacking Americans in their homeland, that's still potentially tens of thousands of potential terrorists...
I think we will see a series of attacks that will be a combination of the suicide bomber in the supermarket scene from Sicario 2, the recent Moscow theatre attack (a handful of guys with high powered rifles that just showed up and started shooting everybody), and something along the lines of October 7th (house to house, business to business, targeting residential areas primarily)
In addition to the residential areas, I think we will see attacks at professional sports games, shopping malls, schools, etc - but also places we've always thought of as immune from domestic terror attacks (hospitals, police stations)
...
Anyways, not trying to fear monger. I just have a feeling by this time next year, we are going to see a campaign of domestic terror attacks that will completely upset all facets of life here in North America...
Someone is paying for all these people from around the world to fly all the way to South America, and start the hike up through the Darian Gap.
Last I checked, Yemenis & Somalians didn't have a ton of disposable income or access to international flights (or Afghans, for that matter...and Afghanistan is right back to being the terror safe haven it used to be)

99% is a hell of a confidence interval. Do you have something to base this on other than a hunch?
Given how frequently we see one or two man cells disrupted based on informant/undercover information, I don’t share your concern of something remotely close to that scale. It seems hard to be a jihadist and go very long without being detected.FBI arrests Afghan man over alleged US election day terror plot

I absolutely still have concern that the odd individual or very small cell will escape notice until an attack is launched… We’ve seen it before and will see it again. But large scale coordinated by a large number of people in the U.S. or Canada isn’t an idea that’s keeping me up at night. The need to communicate and coordinate at scale appears incompatible with the degree of OPSEC that lets them make it to H Hour.

Well, it's no suprise. Lots and lots of people predicted this is what was going to happen when they started leaving home and crossing into western countries. Whether they kill one or a thousand, the bleeding hearts were warned. Islamists and western society are incompatible.

Useful fools - and when they complain "we didn't sign up for this" they will be beheaded. What really makes me curious is we know the radical Islamists hate the LGBTQ2SL+ community - that supports Hamas and Hezbollah.
