Suzanne Fields reports that in Germany, it's just as bad as in various other places in Europe as far as the Islamic problem is concerned, and that those who commit anti-semitic attacks have even specialized in German-language nazi tactics.

Update: The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported in May 2005 on how Europe has become a hiding place for terrorists. Besides Muslim anarchists, the list of criminals who've been tried for terrorist crimes even included a British man:

A British man pleaded guilty last month to planning a shoe bomb plot similar to Richard Reid's and got a 13-year sentence. More terrorism trials are under way in Italy, Germany and elsewhere.

And the trouble is that at the same time that steps are being taken to convict some of these monsters for their crimes, others have been wrongfully aquitted:

Some cases have ended in acquittals that have embarrassed authorities and sparked public anger.

Dutch judges last month cleared Samir Azzouz of terrorism charges, even after he was found in possession of chemicals useful for making bombs, a silencer and gun cartridges, night vision goggles and a bulletproof vest, jihadist literature and videos, and maps of the Dutch parliament and other potential targets along with notes on their security.

"It's ridiculous," said Dutch railroad conductor Wytze Vos, 45, of the Azzouz trial. "He must go to prison for life. When you're planning such crimes, you don't deserve to be out on the streets. But that's Holland -- too weak."

A German court in Hamburg cleared one alleged co-conspirator in the 9/11 attacks, while another man is being retried after his conviction was overturned. Eight of nine men charged in a plot to poison Londoners with ricin were acquitted or released last month.

Earlier this year Italian government ministers reacted furiously when a judge in Milan ruled that recruiting jihadists for Iraq is not terrorism but supporting a foreign guerrilla action, which is not a crime. Italy has 3,000 troops in Iraq.

If they're not going to push for a convincing conviction of the terrorists captured, how do they expect to effectively protect Europe from danger? And then, a Dutch prosecutor says that,

"The struggle against terrorism is not to get a lot of terrorists convicted. It's to prevent bombings," said Bart Nieuwenhuizen, the Dutch prosecutor overseeing terrorism trials in his country.

Which is weakness, of course, and is insulting to the public in Holland and Europe which deserves much better than the steps they're taking to crack down on crimes being committed against civilization by bloodthirsty, unfeeling monsters.
