An Extreme evacuation, for a big bomb.
Foxnews
A massive British World War II-era bomb that triggered the evacuation of about half of the 107,000 residents of Germany's western city of Koblenz was successfully defused Sunday, authorities said.
It was one of Germany's biggest bomb-related evacuations since the war ended with some 2,500 police officers, firefighters and paramedics on duty across the city to secure the operation.
Experts successfully defused the British 1.8 ton bomb and a 275-pound U.S. bomb that had been discovered last month after the Rhine river's water level fell significantly due to a prolonged lack of rain, said Heiko Breitbarth, a spokesman for Koblenz's firefighters.

Frankfurt airport attack: police explore 'terror link'
Terrorist link? DUH!
Shouting Allahu Ackbar as your hosing bullets down on anybody is terrorism, killing U.S. military while doing it most definitely terrorism.
Unfortunately you never know where it is going to come from next, the U.K., Australia, right here at home? you never know.
Where there are Muslims the potential is there for some sudden Jihad Syndrome.
Guardian.co.uk
German police are investigating whether the fatal shooting of two US airmen at Frankfurt airport was a terrorist attack.
Another two American servicemen were wounded when a lone gunman opened fire on a US military bus parked outside the terminal building on Wednesday.
Investigators are pursuing what German media described as "substantial evidence" that the 21-year-old Kosovan suspected of carrying out the attack had links with Islamist groups in Germany. There is concern that more attacks may be in the works, said Spiegel Online.
FBI investigators were at the scene within hours of the attack and an investigation by the German authorities is under way.
The suspect, who is believed to have worked at t
he airport and grown up in Germany, has been identified by the Kosovan government as Arif Uka, originally from the northern town of Mitrovica.
Police are investigating reports he shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) before pulling the trigger and are examining his Facebook account, which details what appear to be Islamist beliefs.
His Facebook wall links to a jihadist fighting song and a comment made on a friend's posting refers to "these miserable kuffar [infidels]". The last entry is dated Monday evening.

Muslims should conform to German values
Hmmm, Some slightly differing points of view in Germany
Germany had freedom of religion, and Islam was welcome, "but it must be a form of Islam that feels devoted to our fundamental values", Merkel said. If it were not, fears would develop among Germans, "and that is hardly something we want to happen".
Hindustantimes
German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded on Monday that Muslims living in Germany conform to "fundamental German values", saying there was no leeway on the issue. She spoke a day after Germany's largely ceremonial president, Christian Wulff, had reached out to Muslims in a speech marking 20 years
of reunification, assuring them they belonged.
Wulff's remarks were welcomed by one of the country's main Islamic groups, the Central Council of Muslims.
The Christian Democrat chancellor, in remarks promoting a fiercely conservative book by one of her supporters, said Muslims in Germany must orient themselves without reservation to Germany's fundamental values and constitution.
"There is no leeway on this," she said, adding that Germans' perceptions of Islam were dominated by Sharia (Islamic law), the lack of equality between men and women and honour killings.

Britain issues travel warning to France and Germany due to terror threat
The British Foreign Office has issued a warning to British citizen who will be traveling to France or Germany over threats of a Mumbai style terrorist attack. The US State Department has also issued a warning.
Looks like everyone is pretty spooked about the latest threat. Does this mean that they think the attack is imminent? Sky News
Britons travelling to France and Germany have been told they may face a high threat from terror attacks, following a US warning for its citizens to be vigilant while in Europe.[...]
This advice is one step below the formal warning recommending no travel at all.
Following the US move, Britain upgraded its travel advice for Europe.
The Foreign Office said there was a "high threat" of attacks in countries including France and Germany, rather than the "general threat" previously identified.
It follows intelligence indicating al Qaeda terrorists are planning to launch simultaneous Mumbai-style attacks in the UK, France and Germany.
German leader: Muslims belong here
wow, Muslims belong here .!
Well , I guess that marks the beginning of the end of Germany .
Just kidding !
Yes Muslims have the right to live where they want .
It is just what some choose to do once their seed of hate has been planted that has everyone worried .
Just look at what is going on right now in Europe !
Al Jazeera
The German president has urged his people to recognise that the religion of Islam and its followers have a legitimate place in Germany after a recent spike in anti-Muslim sentiment in the country.
Christian Wulff, who as president is considered a moral authority for the country, issued the statement on Sunday during a speech celebrating two decades of the country's reunification.
"Christianity doubtless belongs in Germany. Judaism belongs doubtless in Germany. That is our Judeo-Christian history. But by now, Islam also belongs in Germany," Wulff told an audience in the northern city of Bremen.
"First and foremost, we need adopt a clear stance: an understanding that for Germany, belonging is not restricted to a passport, a family history, or a religion," he said.
Wulff's speech was part of nationwide festivities marking reunification of the country's east and west in 1990, after Germany spent a half-century divided into two countries following defeat in the Second World War.

Merkel to honor Mohammed cartoonist at press award
The U.S is not alone with Our Muslim Issues , Reading this whole article it sounds as if Chancellor Merkel , Is being told to watch what she does or else !
Just some more Peaceful Antics from those Crazy ass Muslims !
(Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel risked angering Muslims by speaking at an awards ceremony on Wednesday for a Dane whose cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed provoked sometimes violent protests by Muslims five years ago.
The 75-year-old cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, whose drawings of Mohammed that offended Muslims worldwide first appeared in Danish paper Jyllands-Posten in 2005, was due to receive a prize Wednesday evening at a conference on freedom of the press.
At a time of fierce debate in Germany over disparaging remarks about Muslim immigrants made by a central bank member, some Muslims criticized the center-right chancellor and the media said she was taking a risk by honoring a man whom many Muslims believe insulted their faith.
Aiman Mazyek of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany said in a statement: "Merkel is honoring the cartoonist who in our view trampled on our Prophet and trampled on all Muslims."

German Love Parade crush horror described by Britons
And the Love sure was shown here , 19 Killed by having their heads stomped in !
That's a lot of love .
Promoters and venue operators will be sued for neglect , You can guarantee that .
Also the Promoters said they will never Hold the Event again .
BBC
Witnesses have criticised the decision to have just one entrance through a tunnel to the Love Parade and said they warned police about overcrowding.
One Briton, Salil Bhate, described seeing people lying on the ground with "stamp marks on their faces".
Local authorities said a plan had been in place prior to the event.
The mayor of Duisburg Adolf Sauerland, where the festival took place, said a security plan had been worked out beforehand.
Mr Bhate, from Romford, Greater London, had "spontaneously" decided to go to the festival while on holiday in Germany.
"The stampede reminded me of a heavy metal concert, only here, there was nobody to help," he said.
Really ? I have been to literally Hundreds of Concerts and festivals like the US festivals in southern Calif. never have I seen Anything like this .
"The number of people that I saw lying on the floor, but too far away, was ridiculous. They had stamp marks on their faces. It wasn't until I saw people being resuscitated that I understood how serious this was."

Three held in Norway 'al-Qaeda bomb plot'
Ms Kristiansen said the arrests had been brought forward because news of the probe was about to appear in the international media.
It's disgusting to hear that the Media everywhere are willing to disrupt an investigation into Al Qaida Operatives , just for a story !
The willingness to expose the systems in place that are there for the Security of the People , to keep them safe from Terrorists , to me is the same as working for the Enemy .
BBC
Three people have been arrested in connection with a plot to bomb targets in Norway, police in Oslo have said.
Two of the plotters were arrested in Norway and one in Germany, said the head of the Norwegian security police, Janne Kristiansen.
The men - a Uighur from China, an Iraqi and an Uzbek - are said to have ties to al-Qaeda and to be linked to bomb plots in the US and UK, Ms Kristiansen said.
The three, all Norwegian residents, had been under surveillance for a year.
US prosecutors say the Norwegian case is linked to foiled bomb plots in New York and the English city of Manchester.
"We believe this group has had links to people abroad who can be linked to al-Qaeda, and to people who are involved in investigations in other countries, among others the United States and Britain," Ms Kristiansen said.
She said one of the men was a Norwegian citizen, 39, a Muslim Uighur from China, who had lived in Norway since 1999.
Another was an Iraqi citizen, 37, who was granted Norwegian residency on humanitarian grounds.
The third man was an Uzbek national, 31, who was granted permanent residency in Norway on grounds of family reunification, Ms Kristiansen said.

German owned Irish megastore bans Israeli potatoes
I would like to see them ban some Palestinian goods....oh wait they don't produce anything other than rockets. Irish Central
A leading food and retail megastore that operates in Ireland has stopped selling two lines of baby potatoes that are sourced fro Israel.
German owned megastore LIDL is one of Ireland's largest chain store's and they deny that the banning of Israeli products is politically motivated.
The Irish public have reacted angrily to the Israeli's illegal raid of the Gaza aid flotilla. Indeed many have began to boycott Israeli products and websites and leaflets are being distributed asking the public to avoid purchasing products that have a barcode number starting with the numbers 729 (denotes Israeli origin).

German police say pigs find WWII anti-tank weapon
65 Years later !
El Paso Times
BERLIN—German police said a couple of hungry pigs digging for food came nose-to-nose with a long-buried World War II anti-tank weapon. Police said Friday the two pigs found the single-shot "panzerfaust" on private land southwest of Dresden. The pigs' owner secured the animals in their stall then called police who were able to remove the weapon and destroy it.
The inexpensive and easy-to-operate panzerfaust was used extensively during the defense of Germany and through the rest of the war. Such finds are still relatively common, even 65 years after the end of the war.

German Mosque Minaret Raises Fears of Islamic Quest for Power
Although Germany has about 170 mosques, a further 200 are said to be under construction
That is an incredible increase in the Amount of Mosques in Germany .
200 Mosques under construction at one time , that is unheard of for any type of Construction projects Anywhere !
Foxnews
An unassuming former cinema opposite a giant steelworks on the banks of the Saar river is at the center of a stand-off over plans for a minaret to mark its new role as a mosque.
The row highlights concerns about the spread of Islam in Germany’s traditionally conservative rust belt.
In a confrontation reminiscent of the debate in Switzerland, which led to a national referendum verdict banning new minarets, the 40,000-strong town of Völklingen has become divided over plans by the Selimiye mosque for three domes and an 26-foot spire.
It would be the first minaret in Saarland, which has fallen on hard times since the heyday of steel production in the 1960s and 1970s, leaving many of the Turks who arrived to work in the smelters unemployed.
Although Germany has about 170 mosques, a further 200 are said to be under construction and tensions are beginning to show in communities such as Völklingen, where about 5 per cent of the population are Muslim.
“We are being quietly infiltrated by the Turks,” said one resident at a meeting called last month, according to Die Tageszeitung. The audience of 250 was asked to fill in forms, with one stating: “Minarets have nothing to do with Gemany.”
The council rejected the first proposal for twin minarets as out of keeping with the area and Klaus Lörig, the Mayor, appealed to the mosque to withdraw the plan. The mosque committee said that there were no legal grounds to reject its plan and warned that it was prepared to go to court.

Germans bust Hizbollah cocaine smuggling ring
German authorities have busted a cocaine smuggling ring they suspect is funneling money to Hizbollah.
This is just another example of a terrorist group selling drugs to infidel states in order to raise money for the jihad. The Local
German investigators are uncovering the drug-smuggling business of the Syrian-backed Lebanese militant organisation Hezbollah, moving cocaine from Beirut into Europe via Frankfurt airport.
A report in Der Spiegel magazine this weekend said initial suspicions that Hezbollah was raising funds by smuggling cocaine were raised in May 2008 when around €8.7 million in cash was found in the luggage of four Lebanese men at Frankfurt airport.[...]
The magazine says the suspicion is that family members have been regularly moving millions of euros raised in the European cocaine trade, via Frankfurt to Beirut. Those receiving the money in Lebanon are said to be members of a family with contacts with the highest levels of Hezbollah command including leader Hassan Nasrallah.

German ship caught smuggling Iranian arms to Syria
US soldiers discovered a German container ship smuggling 7.62 mm ammunition to Syria from Iran. The ammunition was most likely destined for Hizbollah. Currently Germany along with the US, Britain and France are calling for tougher sanctions against Iran in light of their refusal to stop uranium enrichment for nuclear weapons.
A German diplomat was quoted as saying this was "an embarrassing affair". That might be a tad of an understatement. Germany while calling for tougher sanctions against Iran, which threatens to wipe Israel of the global map, is smuggling Iranian arms destined for Hizbollah who's sole purpose is to destroy Israel. Haaretz
American soldiers stationed in the Gulf of Suez discovered containers of ammunition aboard a German-owned cargo ship allegedly transporting the arms from Iran to Syria, the influential German daily newspaper Der Spiegel reported on Monday.
The newspaper quoted a German diplomat as saying that the incident represents "an embarrassing affair" for Berlin, the consequences of which could be troublesome for trans-Atlantic relations.
The ammunition, which comprised 7.62 millimeter bullets suitable for Kalashnikov rifles, is believed to have been intended for either the Syrian army or Hezbollah.
U.S. soldiers boarded the freighter Hansa India, which is registered to a Hamburg-based shipping company known as Leonhardt & Blumberg, according to Der Spiegel.

German publisher cancels book with abusive comments about the koran
"After the Mohammad cartoons, one knows that one can't publish sentences or drawings that defame Islam without expecting a security risk,"
A German publisher canceled a murder mystery book about honor killing because it is seen as insulting the koran. The book's author, Gabrile Brinkmann, refused to remove the 'offending' passages.
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German publisher said Tuesday it had canceled the printing of a murder mystery about an honor killing because it contained passages insulting Islam and may have prompted Islamist retaliation.Indeed.
Droste publishers dropped the book by author Gabriele Brinkmann entitled "To Whom Honor is Due" after she refused to change several passages, including one where a fictional character is portrayed making abusive remarks about the Koran.[...]
The publisher's decision has prompted criticism that it is bowing to Islamist intimidation and curtailing freedom of speech. The firm has also received threats from far-right groups against its employees for being "friends of Islamists."
German newspapers ran headlines: "Publisher self censors" and "Fear of Islamist attacks."[...]
"What on earth is this all about, where are we here? We are in a free country," Brinkmann told German media.
