WATCH: Syrians commit armed street fights in Cottbus, Germany

Yesterday in the early evening, hostile groups of migrants attacked each other with laths and knives in Cottbus. The criminal investigation into the background and the exact course of events is still ongoing.

“Such incidents are abnormal. We will never accept them as the ‘new normal’. Not in Cottbus. Not in Brandenburg. Not in Germany.” – said Jean-Pascal Hohm, chairman of the AfD Cottbus.

The Cottbus police now also report on the exact course of events: “The police were called to the street Burgstraße early on Sunday evening because witnesses had reported a fight there in which several men, initially unknown, were involved. Upon arrival, the officers found two injured men of Syrian origin, aged 21 and 27. They were taken to hospital for medical treatment, while investigations into suspected dangerous bodily harm were initiated at the same time. According to initial statements, several men had hit the two victims with as yet unidentified objects.

In the course of immediately initiated manhunts, a total of four suspects from Syria, aged 19 to 29, have been taken into police custody. Preliminary proceedings were initiated on suspicion of serious breach of the peace in connection with dangerous bodily harm. At the same time, forensic experts secured traces and evidence at the scene of the crime. The criminal investigation into the background and the exact course of events is still ongoing.

In addition to the video, the association Zukunft Heimat Cottbus has published a video of a young man walking through the city centre with a knife:

Germany: Fundraiser for the IS arrested

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has arrested a woman in Bavaria who allegedly collected money for the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS). The German woman was arrested on Monday in Geretsried, the authorities in Karlsruhe announced. This is near Lake Starnberg. In addition, a search was carried out in Kassel on a person who was not a suspect.

The woman, whose age was not disclosed, is said to have helped an Iraqi who has been in pre-trial detention since the beginning of the year. According to earlier statements, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office accuses him of having taken on “a central role in the raising of money for the IS in Germany” and of having transferred money to Syria and Lebanon several times.

At the end of April, the police had issued its arrest warrant for the man, who had been caught trying to leave the country at the German-Swiss border.

The now arrested suspected Islamist is said to have especially taken an interest in the contact to IS women. She is said to have set up a donation account for a woman who was to be freed from a Kurdish refugee camp. Whether she will be remanded in custody should be decided in the course of the day.

In Kabul, Austrian soldiers risked their lives for 76 asylum seeker vacationers

Some 36 people are still in Kabul, in the hope of being evacuated from Afghanistan by Austria. Many of them are citizens with Afghan roots, or people in need of protection who have effectively fled the country.

They had left Austria to visit their families despite the travel warning from the government. These are Afghans who obtained Austrian residence permits by claiming that they had faced danger in their country of birth.

It sounds absurd and is completely incomprehensible to many Austrians

Many migrants who came to Austria as “refugees” from Afghanistan apparently went back there for a vacation. Many of them are now stranded in Kabul. For example, a 24-year-old HTL student from Vienna , travelled to his former country of origin, since his permanent residence permit allows him to do so. Now he is stuck in Afghanistan and hoping the Austrians will help him.

The question of why a person is able to travel to a country from where they have fled because they “fear for their life” remains unanswered. The Austrian mainstream media is not interested in an answer either.

Jagdkommando soldiers risked their lives in Kabul

“Some 76 Austrian citizens with Afghan roots or in need of protection, who had fled Afghanistan and were visiting their families in the country, were evacuated from Kabul by plane with the help of the Austrian Federal Army,” reported Michael Bauer of the Austrian Armed Forces.

In order to bring them safely to Kabul airport, those still remaining in Afghanistan had to avoid the Taliban, and highly trained Austrian elite commando soldiers were sent in to aid them. Staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also participating in the operation. The elite soldiers were on foot, risking their lives to bring back the “refugees” through the city under siege to the airport.

Foreign Minister explains his move

Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) told the media: “We have an obligation to help.” But Austria imposed the highest travel warning level for Afghanistan years ago and advised everyone not to travel to the country. However, many “refugees” still visited their families.

Paris: A gunman tries to break into a church in the 19th arrondissement

This Sunday morning, 29 August, the incident in Paris could have turned tragic. In the 19th arrondissement, Le Parisien reports, a 28-year-old man was stopped by the police as he tried to enter the Saint-Luc church in the Rue de l’Ourcq. At the time of his arrest, the man was carrying a .44 calibre revolver loaded with two cartridges. Although his intentions are not yet clear, it seems clear that a disaster was narrowly averted. This was prevented thanks to the vigilance of the parish priest of Saint-Luc. On Sunday morning at around 10 am, the churchman spotted the person in question while preparing for the service. Nervously, he asked the priest for the time of the day’s mass and told the priest that he wanted to come back to attend the service. In view of the suspicious behaviour of his counterpart, the priest became wary. And rightly so: during the conversation he has time to spot the stock of a pistol sticking out of the young man’s pocket.As soon as his counterpart had left, the priest called the police and gave the description of the thirty-year-old. The teams of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) of the 19th arrondissement of Paris then sounded the alarm and positioned a large surveillance team around the Saint Jules church – and also near the parish of Sainte-Claire d’Assise, according to Le Parisien. Fortunately, the operation was successful: shortly after 11am, when the Saint-Luc mass had started twenty minutes earlier, the suspect was spotted walking towards the church a few hundred metres away. He was immediately arrested and has since been in police custody in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The 2nd Department of the Paris Criminal Investigation Department was in charge of the investigation.

A former Afghan minister has become …. a takeaway delivery boy in Germany

It must have been a big change. A former Afghan communications minister moved to Europe, Germany to be precise, in September 2020. In the city of Leipzig, Sayed Sadaat could never have found a job that matched his skills, reports CNews on Saturday August 28. A computer scientist and telecommunications graduate, he served as Minister of Communications for two years before leaving office in 2018. From now on, Sayed Sadaat has a new and very different job: he delivers meals by bicycle for the company Lieferando…

“Everybody has to work. If you have expenses, if you have to pay rent, if you need money to buy food and shelter, then you have to work. Just because you have been a minister does not mean you should not work and do nothing,” he told the press. Sayed Sadaat added, reports CNews, “I could have been one of those corrupt ministers, I could have earned millions of dollars, bought buildings and hotels there in Dubai, and I wouldn’t have had to work. Thus, he asserts that he “did nothing to feel guilty”.Sayed Sadaat hopes that other politicians will “follow this example of working for the citizens instead of shirking”.

Since August 15, Afghanistan has been ruled by the Taliban, who have taken over the country. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani confirmed this to the press on the same day. He fled his country to escape a “bloodbath”. He has since settled with his family in the United Arab Emirates until he can “return”. In Afghanistan, thousands of people have already been evacuated and thousands more are still trying to leave the country to escape the new extremist Taliban regime.

Canada’s Minister for Women and Gender Equality calls Taliban ‘our brothers’

On Canadian television, the Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Maryam Monsef, called the Taliban “our brothers” – a qualifier that has caused a wide controversy in Canada.

On the video, we clearly see Maryam Monsef hesitate, before deciding. And for good reason: On Tuesday, August 24, during an insert on Canadian television, the Minister for Women and Gender Equality used a term at the very least controversial, when discussing the situation in Afghanistan.

“I want to take this opportunity to talk about our brothers, the Taliban. We ask you to ensure the safe evacuation of all those who want to leave Afghanistan.” Obviously, to use an expression so lovingly for the Taliban Islamist terrorist organization, immediately caused a scandal in Canada. Especially when the flattery comes from the Minister for Women.

“The Trudeau government used totally unacceptable language. After six months of inaction by the Trudeau government, there are thousands of Afghans in danger because of their support for our country,” replied Erin O’Toole, leader of the conservative opposition in the government. The latter was even forced to comment on the matter, declaring that he had “nothing to add” to the explanations of his minister, and that he intended “to continue [to be] very firm on the Taliban”.

Earlier on Wednesday, August 25, Maryam Monsef had indeed explained her statement, presenting the name “our brothers” as a “cultural reference”. Born in Iran, Maryam Monsef has dual Canadian and Afghan nationality, after both of her parents moved to Canada in 1996.

Merkel lies about rescuing Afghan allies

German soldiers flew many people from Afghanistan to Germany, especially with the A400M aircraft of the German Federal Air Force. Now it has become known that among the “rescued” Afghans “were hardly any local staff”.

Bild-Zeitung reported that according to its own information, the Bundeswehr has flown out more than 4000 Afghan nationals since the fall of Kabul. But the German daily has now learned that only a fraction of them were actually “local staff” who worked for the Bundeswehr and other German organizations and these allies have been in danger since the Taliban’s triumphant advance.

Bild learned from a conference between the Ministry of the Interior, the Foreign Office and other authorities on Thursday, that of almost 3600 Afghans who had been flown out since August 17, only around 100 were actually local staff, and around 370 of their family members had been taken on the flight.

Is the German federal government lying?

It appears as if the Merkel administration had been caught lying, because on Wednesday the Foreign Office had declared that there were “a considerable number of former local workers” among the Afghans who had been rescued from the Taliban.

Chancellor Angela Merkel had also announced that the government wanted to ensure that “above all” local Afghan workers were brought to Germany.

“This project failed,” according to information from the Bild newspaper, because a total of more than 13 000 local employees and their family members had received an acceptance letter from the federal government. In the past few months, only a small number have been brought to Germany on the Bundeswehr evacuation mission.

From these indications one can conclude that masses of “refugees” are coming to Western Europe from Afghanistan, the vast majority of whom travel with modern cell phones, but surprisingly without valid papers.

From generally well-informed circles it is said that the Afghans who made it to the transport aircraft of the Federal Air Force at the Kabul airport were not strictly checked for their identity. Representatives of the federal government announced that such precise checks would only take place after their arrival in Germany.

Thousands land at Ramstein

Around 20 500 evacuees from Afghanistan already landed at Ramstein Air Base in Rhineland-Palatinate – the world’s largest US air force base outside of America – by this weekend. Ramstein has been a US hub for refugees from Afghanistan since August 20.

About 100 aircraft of the United States Air Force have arrived at the air base, reported a spokeswoman for the base. More than 5000 evacuees had traveled from there on around 22 flights. The flights are expected to last for the whole weekend, reported the Epoch Times.

‘How many Afghan women actually care about a German dead soldier?’

On Wednesday the Bundestag debated the Afghanistan mission. Right after Chancellor Angela Merkel, who may have given her last speech in parliament as her last term nears its end, AfD parliamentary group leader Alexander Gauland replied.

Gauland described the international Afghanistan mission as wrong from the start. The idea of exporting the Western way of life had totally imploded, he pointed out. Gauland said the notion of “One World” has been shattered by the events in Afghanistan. “The majority of Afghans don’t give a damn about westernization. Anyone who thinks that one can treat deep, ethnic and cultural imprints with education courses and gender mainstreaming is only attesting to a monstrous ignorance,” he said.

The AfD co-leader also stated that his parliamentary group only supported the evacuation of former local armed forces to a very limited extent. In addition to the former Bundeswehr auxiliaries and their families, Germany should not accept any further refugees.

Then Gauland talked about the 59 dead German soldiers who had given their lives for nothing in the Afghanistan mission. “In order to bring gender equality into the Muslim world, German men had to lose their lives there. How many Afghan women in the highest offices or girls in schools actually care about a German dead soldier? ”

And finally he said: “Instead of defending women’s rights against the Taliban in the East, the Bundeswehr should rather protect the German borders from the dangers that arise from the influx of people to whom our way of life is completely alien: 2015 must not be repeated!”

Islam officials in Germany trivialise the Taliban

Representatives of Islamic associations in Germany have expressed sympathy in social media for the new rulers in Afghanistan, the radical Islamic Taliban. This is reported by the ” newspaper Welt am Sonntag”.

As an example, the weekly mentions Abdul Adhim Kamouss, who is a respected preacher in Berlin. He wrote on Facebook: “Many are talking about the return of the Taliban as if al-Quaida or ISIS had now taken power in Afghanistan.” But he said it was wrong to equate the Taliban with the terrorist militias. After all, they had never threatened to conquer the West.

According to “Welt am Sonntag”, Kamouss has since deleted his controversial entry. He is a co-founder and board member of the Islam in Germany Foundation (Berlin).

According to the report, a theological adviser of the Islamic Community Milli Görüs (IGMG) wrote under a pseudonym on Facebook that the Taliban were “absolutely in line with mainstream Muslim positions” – and that if believers saw this differently, it was “ignorance or hypocrisy”.

When asked by the newspaper, the IGMG’s secretary general, Bekir Altas, confirmed that the author of the Facebook post worked for Milli Görus, but not as an employee. Employees of the association do not have to coordinate their private postings on social networks with their employer.

The lawyer and co-founder of the liberal Ibn Rushd Goethe Mosque in Berlin, Seyran Ates, sharply criticises representatives of the Islamic community in Germany for showing sympathy for the Taliban. This is “intellectual arson”: “The more the Taliban are played down by those in positions of authority, the greater the danger that supporters will once again be found in Germany who are ready to take action in Afghanistan”.

According to the report, Germans have repeatedly joined the Taliban in recent years. In response to a question from the newspaper, the Federal Prosecutor General’s Office stated that this year alone, about 50 new investigations had been initiated against suspected Taliban supporters. In the previous five years, there had been a total of more than 800.
