Hizballah terrorists are exploiting Germany's refugee policy and entered
the country as part of the recent wave of Middle East migrants, according
to the Jerusalem Post's review of a German intelligence report released this
month.
"Since mid-2015 there are increased indications of fighters from
Shi'ite militias entering Germany as legal refugees," the report says,
and "roughly 50% [of the fighters] show a direct connection to
Hezbollah."
A growing number of Hizballah operatives are settling in the North
Rhine-Westphalia region, the report says. The region hosts the Imam-Mahdi
Center – a traditional hub for Hizballah operatives. The report also cites
a growing and open Hamas presence in North Rhine-Westphalia, despite
Germany's terrorist designation of the Palestinian organization, where
Hamas supporters exploit Germany to "collect funds" and
"recruit new members to spread their propaganda."
There are roughly 950 Hizballah members throughout Germany, according to
a 2014 Berlin intelligence report summarized by the Jerusalem Post. Though the
number of Hizballah supporters is believed to be far higher in Germany than
listed in the report.
Radical Islamists are "the greatest danger to Germany...Germany is
on the spectrum of goals for Islamic terrorists," said Hans-Georg
Maassen, president of Germany's domestic intelligence agency – the Federal
Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).
Hizballah operatives serve as senior employees of a German
government-funded theater project aimed to assist refugees in the country, a 2016 Berliner
Zeitung daily report said.
Germany's interior ministry previously accused Iran of conducting significant espionage activity in the country during
the past decade, including plotting attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets.
For example, German prosecutors allege that Haidar Syed-Naqfi was
ordered to identify Jewish and Israeli institutions in Germany and other
Western European countries for potential terrorist attacks. He allegedly
monitored the headquarters of a Jewish newspaper in Berlin and identified
several Israel supporters. German authorities believe his preparations were
"a clear indication of an assassination attempt."
Between July 2015 and July 2016, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps'
(IRGC) al-Quds Force paid Syed-Naqi more than $2,200.
While the European Union, including Germany, designated Hizballah's
military wing as a terrorist entity, Germany allows Hizballah's political
wing to operate freely. The U.S., Canada, and the Netherlands designate
Hizballah as a terrorist organization entirely. Even senior Hizballah officials have noted the futility in
distinguishing between its political and military wings, acknowledging that
Hizballah is a hierarchical organization with a clear chain of command. The
organization's terrorist and military wings answer to its senior leadership
and political echelons, including Iran – its primary sponsor.
MIT
MSA Alumni Protest Anti-Feminist Islamist Speaker

A rift has opened up between left-leaning alumni of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology's (MIT) chapter of the Muslim Students Association
(MSA) and conservative Islamists in the group. At least two dozen
alumni addressed an
open letter to the club on Facebook asking them to disinvite an
anti-liberal Muslim writer, Daniel Haqiqatjou.
MSA's Tufts University chapter disinvited Haqiqatjou last month.
The alumni say that
Haqiqatjou's socially conservative views are "regressive" and
that they should not be heard because he is not a researched academic.
Haqiqatjou's writings attack feminism as the enemy of all religion, and
claim that Muslim feminism puts self-described Muslim feminists a path to
apostasy.
"From its very inception, feminism has been anti-religion. In fact,
the most prominent figures of each wave of feminism have been viciously
anti-religious," he wrote on his blog. Late Boston College
radical feminist scholar Mary Daly received his ire
because she encouraged women to have "courage to sin."
Haqiqatjou likewise questions gay rights and same-sex marriage.
The split is unusual given the MSA's roots within the global Muslim Brotherhood
network. It was founded by Brotherhood members who came to the United
States in the 1960 and some members push extreme rhetoric.
Opponents of Haqiqatjou's talk criticized the MSA for not holding a forum on
Muslim feminism, describing Haqiqatjou's views as "deeply problematic
and ... half-baked ideas that have no real intellectual basis. Haqiqatjou
spreads vile ideas about women in general as well as critical social
movements such as Islamic feminism, slanders Muslim feminists very
frequently and undermines the struggles of an entire gender."
Oddly, no one took issue with Haqiqatjou's seeming embrace of another Islamist
speaker who says he had a campus lecture canceled for failing
"to show sympathy w/Charlie Hebdo and its satanic Shuhada."
ISIS-inspired terrorists killed 12 people the magazine's Paris offices in
2015 as revenge for its caricatures of Islam's prophet Mohammed.
Haqiqatjou found Hamza wald Maqbul's canceled talk last year at St.
Louis University, "Shocking, that's even more egregious."
