Police have raided over a dozen properties across Germany in a major anti-terrorism operation. Their targets were radical Muslims who they suspect were wanting to wage jihad in Germany and abroad.

The raids were aimed at aimed at disrupting a network of Islamists who were allegedly trying to radicalize Germans and support jihad abroad.

Around 130 officers raided 16 homes, clubs and publishing houses in Berlin, Bonn, Leipzig, Sindelfingen, Neu-Ulm and Ulm early on Wednesday morning.

In a pan-European operation, police in France, Germany and the Netherlands have detained 10 men they suspect of financing a terror group in Uzbekistan. Some of the men are thought to have acted as couriers funneling cash to the jihadists.

Eight were seized in France, partly in areas close to the German border, one in Germany and a 10th man was held in Tilburg in the Netherlands. During the raids Dutch police searched three houses and confiscated a computer, documents, a CS gas pistol and a handgun magazine.

It is unknown at the moment whether all the arrested men are Turks. But most are definitely of Turkish origin, say sources in Germany’s security authorities. Some of them also had Western European passports.

When was the last time we’ve heard of any of the many Islamist, terrorist-connected groups here in the States, such as CAIR, the ACLU, ISNA, and the Islamic Education Center getting rousted? How about any terrorists at all?

Is our government avoiding any publicity about the tens of thousands of terrorists in our midst to keep us lulled into complacency? Is it possible that these saboteurs are being allowed to grow in strength unmolested so that we’ll think the Bush administration is doing a good job?

You’re damned right that’s what’s happening! Does anyone actually believe, if they give it only a moment of consideration, that there is no terrorist activity happening in this vast nation with its wide-open borders?

If we get Barack Islamist Mohammed Obama as our next president, then all I can say is, it’s a good thing I’m old and have lived most of my life already. I would hate like Hell to be young in the America that’s coming.
