| Quote | | CY, I see where as part of a warning about a jihadi blitz coming, “Hans-Georg Maasen, a federal police chief, [says] that nearly 8,000 ISIS fighters have infiltrated Germany through its refugee program.” That’s a light division strength infiltration under cover of a refugee programme. If it is halftrue, that is serious. KF |
I couldn't find any sources where Hans-Georg Maasen claimed such a thing. I think he might be refering to the [URL=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3335489/ISIS-radicals-planning-terror-attacks-Europe-entering-continent-hidden-migrants-says-Germa
n-police-chief.html]daily mail article[/URL]. However daily mail is not talking about 8000 ISIS fighters entering Germnay, but 8000 radical islamists ("Salafisten") living in Germany (which is true). There's nothing illegal about joining the "Salafisten". |
Apparently GE saw the same article.

Not even half true. In fact, only 1/1000 true. And for all of Europe, not just Germany. European authorities have identified eight assylum seekers trying to enter Europe on forged passports similar to the one found on one of the dead Paris attackers. Eight in all of Europe is a far cry from 8000 in Germany alone.
What the chief said was that they were aware of 8000 radical Islamists currently living in Germany. He didn’t say when they entered, where they came from, if they entered as refugees, if they entered through normal immigration channels, or if they were born in Germany. And he certainly didnt say that they were ISIS fighters. That is a far cry from saying that 8000 ISIS fighters have entered Germany through the refugee system.
It is the dissemination of misquoted and irresponsible statements like the one posted by KF, without any attempt to check the facts, that spreads unnecessary fear and spawns hatred. And, even worse, it slows down or stops the provision of necessary support for thousands of innocent people who are suffering. Some might argue that KF posting this false statement is enabling the suffering of thousands of suffering people. Not intentionally, but through a lack of duty of care to the truth. |
