Fritz the Jihadist -- This article focuses on the story of Fritz Gelowicz, one of the three arrested earlier this week for plotting a massive and imminent attack on commercial and American military interests in Germany. But it also demonstrates that Gelowicz did not work in a vacuum; rather, there was significant support for "radical Islam" right in the German town of Ulm. And that seemingly unlikely place only underscores the fact that jihadists can plot and potentially wreak havoc wherever they are allowed to operate unchallenged, both by the larger community, and by fellow Muslims who are all too often assumed to be uniformly "moderate." |
