Terror doesn’t pay in Germany, not directly anyway. And not always.

That’s right. Justice has prevailed here once again. Two radical jihadists supporting the Sauerland Cell really pissed off German judges yesterday when it was revealed that they had tried to get their welfare and unemployment benefits transferred to a terrorist training camp on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border they planned to train at.

Clearly enraged by this, the court promptly convicted the two men to two incredibly severe 33 and 14 month jail sentences. German law clearly stipulates that you can only continue to receive your welfare and unemployment benefits while attending terrorist training camps here in Germany.

The “relatively harmless support actions” these two were involved in, helping to try and car bomb as many American targets in Germany as possible, was bad too, don’t get the court wrong, but blatant welfare fraud? That kind of thing practically never happens here in Germany and has to be nipped in the bud.

“Sie werden bald wieder draussen sein.”
